MLB’s all-time Puerto Rican born team

2. Ivan Rodriguez: 1991-2011

Perhaps the position with the most talent coming out of Puerto Rico, Ivan Rodriguez tops the class. Catcher’s like Yadier Molina, Sandy Alomar, Jorge Posada and Benito Santiago definitely deserve mention here with 23 All-Star seasons between them, but Pudge takes the cake.

A 14-time All-Star with multiple Silver Slugger and Gold Glove awards on his resume, Rodriguez is widely regarded as one of the finest defensive backstops to play the game. He was pretty good offensively, too.

Pudge was MVP of the American League in 1999 and boasts a .296 lifetime batting average. His 311 career home runs rank seventh all-time at his position and his 68.9 WAR ranks third behind Hall of Famers Johnny Bench and Gary Carter.
