The All-Venezuelan Team
The best player born in Venezuela at each position since 2005, by the dbWAR he produced there. Positions nobody has filled are left open.
And on the mound
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. 179 position players are eligible here, with 31 starters and 97 relievers.

About this page
404 major-league players born in Venezuela appear in this archive, between 2005 and 2026. 93 of them were on a major-league roster in 2026, up from 65 in 2005. Together they are worth 1498.3 dbWAR, on 9,038 home runs and 36,281 strikeouts thrown.
The most valuable of them by our own measure is Miguel Cabrera, worth 71.8 dbWAR across 2005–2023. His best year was 2013, at 9.7 WAR. Omar Vizquel has been in the majors longest of anyone here, since 1989.
Miguel Cabrera has hit the most home runs, 466. Félix Hernández has thrown the most strikeouts, 2,524. The hardest ball anyone from here has struck came off Ronald Acuña Jr.'s bat at 121.2 mph, in 2023. 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.
Caracas has produced 51 of them, more than anywhere else in Venezuela. In 2026 they are spread across 6 clubs, 7 of them with Arizona Diamondbacks.
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.
