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.

He played all or parts of six seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the San Francisco Giants, San Diego Padres, Seattle Mariners, and Colorado Rockies. He bats and throws right-handed, and is the second cousin of former MLB star Edgardo Alfonzo.
