Mauricio Dubón
Mauricio Andre Dubón (Spanish pronunciation: [duˈβon] born July 19, 1994) is a Honduran professional baseball utility player for the Houston Astros of Major League Baseball (MLB). Selected during the 26th round of the 2013 MLB draft by the Boston Red Sox, Dubón made his MLB debut with the Milwaukee Brewers in 2019, and has also played for the San Francisco Giants.
From San Pedro Sula, Dubón moved to Sacramento, California, at age 15. He is the second native-born Honduran to play in the major leagues. In 2022, Dubón became the first-ever Honduran player to appear in the playoffs, as well as the first to win a World Series. In 2023, he became the first Honduran to win a Gold Glove Award.
Mauricio Dubón was born and raised in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, where he attended Liceo Bilingüe Centroamericano High School. At age 15, a Christian mission group that was visiting Honduras saw Dubón play baseball and invited him to move to the United States to hone his baseball skills while attending high school. Dubón accepted the offer and moved to Sacramento, California, where he enrolled at Capital Christian High School as a foreign exchange student.
Dubón posted a .509 batting average (86-for-169) after his junior and senior years at Capital Christian High School, including 23 doubles, 14 triples, eight home runs, and 81 runs batted in (RBIs) before being drafted by the Boston Red Sox. He was ranked by Baseball America as the best defensive player among the 2013 Red Sox draft picks. Dubón is the first Capital Christian alumnus to have been drafted into professional baseball.
The Red Sox selected Dubón in the 26th round of the 2013 MLB draft. After batting .245 in 20 games for the GCL Red Sox shortly after signing, Dubón was promoted to the Lowell Spinners in 2014 and ranked among the top ten in the New York–Penn League with a .320 batting average (82-for-256).
For the Greenville Drive in 2015, Dubón hit .364 through his first 11 games and had hit safely in 10 of those contests. He finished the season with High-A Salem Red Sox of the Carolina League, hitting a combined .288/.349/.376 slash line with 30 stolen bases in 120 games during the two stints. He was an SAL mid-season All Star. He then was invited by the Boston Red Sox to participate in their 2016 spring training.
Dubón continued his development at Salem in 2016, earning a spot in the Carolina League All-Star team to play in the 2016 California-Carolina League All-Star Game. He was promoted to Double-A Portland Sea Dogs following his appearance in the All-Star Game. At the time of his promotion, Dubón had a .306/.387/.379 line over 238 at-bats with a good approach producing more walks (33) than strikeouts (25). The .306 average was good for third in the Carolina League, and the on-base percentage ranked sixth. Besides, his speed has also continued to be a huge part of his game, stealing 24 bases in 28 attempts, for the sixth best in the league.
At Double-A, Dubón improved his slash line to .339/.371/.538 over 62 games with Portland, including 23 multi-hits games, six home runs and 40 RBI. Overall, he hit .323/.379/.461 with 101 runs, 69 RBI and 30 stolen bases in the two stints. Besides, he led the Red Sox minors system in runs and hits (157), while his .323 average was the second-best to Aneury Tavárez (.330). In addition, he finished third in stolen bases behind Yoan Moncada (45) and Danny Mars (31) and sixth in RBIs. He was a Carolina League mid-season All Star. He then was selected to join the Surprise Saguaros of the Arizona Fall League during the postseason.
