Joaquín Benoit2005–2017 · 3.15 ERA10.4dbWAR

How this is picked. Each player is filed at the one position he appeared at most often — so a shortstop who spent two years at third is a shortstop, and cannot hold both slots — and the spot goes to whoever produced the most dbWAR there. The figure on a card is therefore the value at that position rather than the career total shown elsewhere on this page: they differ for anyone who moved. Starting and relieving are counted separately for the same reason, on the share of each season's appearances that were starts. A slot needs 100 plate appearances or 20 innings to be claimed at all, which keeps a September call-up from becoming a first baseman. 211 position players are eligible here, with 62 starters and 254 relievers.

About this page

693 major-league players born in the Dominican Republic appear in this archive, between 2005 and 2026. 139 of them were on a major-league roster in 2026, up from 134 in 2005. Together they are worth 2269.6 dbWAR, on 13,286 home runs and 79,765 strikeouts thrown.

The most valuable of them by our own measure is Robinson Canó, worth 63.1 dbWAR across 2005–2022. The best single season belongs to Juan Soto, 8.5 WAR in 2024. Julio Franco has been in the majors longest of anyone here, since 1982.

Albert Pujols has hit the most home runs, 543. Ervin Santana has thrown the most strikeouts, 1,978. The hardest ball anyone from here has struck came off Oneil Cruz's bat at 122.9 mph, in 2025. These are totals over the seasons published here rather than whole careers: a player who debuted before 2005 arrives mid-career, and his numbers start where the archive does.

Santo Domingo has produced 165 of them, more than anywhere else in Dominican Republic. In 2026 they are spread across 6 clubs, 9 of them with Houston Astros.

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.
