Eliézer Alfonzo

Eliézer Alfonzo is the sort of player whose story I genuinely enjoy. Coming out of Puerto La Cruz, Venezuela, he carved out parts of six big-league seasons as a catcher across four organizations, which is no small feat for the toughest position on the diamond. Being the second cousin of Edgardo Alfonzo adds a nice thread of baseball lineage. He never became a household name, but bouncing between the Giants, Padres, Mariners, and Rockies takes resilience few appreciate. I have a soft spot for journeyman catchers who grind out a career, and Alfonzo embodies that quiet perseverance from the Caribbean baseball pipeline.
