Diamondbacks Star Ketel Marte's Scottsdale Home Burglarized During MLB All-Star Game

SCOTTSDALE, Arizona — The Scottsdale home of Arizona Diamondbacks star Ketel Marte was targeted and burglarized on Tuesday night, coincidentally occurring while the infielder was representing his team in the Major League Baseball All-Star Game.

Scottsdale police confirmed they responded to a burglary call at the athlete's residence. While Marte was active on the national stage, perpetrators took advantage of his absence to break into the unoccupied property. Authorities have not yet disclosed the full extent of the items stolen or if any suspects have been identified.

Marte, a key player for the Diamondbacks, was selected as a starter for the National League team. The incident highlights a recurring concern for professional athletes, who are often targeted by burglars who monitor broadcasting and game schedules to confirm when high-value homes will be vacant.
