About this page

3 major-league players born in Aruba appear in this archive, between 2015 and 2026. 3 of them were on a major-league roster in 2026, up from 1 in 2015. Together they are worth 47.4 dbWAR, on 202 home runs and 9 strikeouts thrown.

The most valuable of them by our own measure is Xander Bogaerts, worth 48.3 dbWAR across 2015–2026. His best year was 2019, at 7.0 WAR. Xander Bogaerts has been in the majors longest of anyone here, since 2013.

Xander Bogaerts has hit the most home runs, 196. Antwone Kelly has thrown the most strikeouts, 9. The hardest ball anyone from here has struck came off Xander Bogaerts's bat at 113.9 mph, in 2017. These are totals over the seasons published here rather than whole careers: a player who debuted before 2015 arrives mid-career, and his numbers start where the archive does.

Oranjestad has produced 3 of them, more than anywhere else in Aruba. In 2026 they are spread across 4 clubs, one each — among them Baltimore Orioles.

Country here means country of birth, taken from each player's biographical record. It is not nationality and not who a player has represented internationally — the three disagree often enough to matter, and birthplace is the one this data actually holds. Every rate statistic and every dbWAR figure is computed from play-by-play using constants measured from each season's own data, so the numbers are era-correct without being copied from anywhere.
