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. 12 position players are eligible here, with 7 starters and 23 relievers.

About this page
53 major-league players born in Mexico appear in this archive, between 2015 and 2026. 21 of them were on a major-league roster in 2026, up from 12 in 2015. Together they are worth 122.7 dbWAR, on 413 home runs and 6,983 strikeouts thrown.
The most valuable of them by our own measure is Isaac Paredes, worth 14.9 dbWAR across 2020–2026. The best single season belongs to Julio Urías, 4.7 WAR in 2021. Oliver Pérez has been in the majors longest of anyone here, since 2002.
Isaac Paredes has hit the most home runs, 114. Julio Urías has thrown the most strikeouts, 710. The hardest ball anyone from here has struck came off Joey Meneses's bat at 114.2 mph, in 2024. 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.
Hermosillo has produced 7 of them, more than anywhere else in Mexico. In 2026 they are spread across 6 clubs, 4 of them with Toronto Blue Jays.
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.
