Pedro Báez
Pedro Alberys Báez (born March 11, 1988) is a Dominican former professional baseball pitcher. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Los Angeles Dodgers and Houston Astros. Signed as an international free agent in 2007, Báez made his MLB debut with the Dodgers in 2014, and, in 2020, was a member of the Dodgers' World Series championship club.
From Baní, Dominican Republic, the Dodgers originally signed Báez as a third baseman. He appeared in two All-Star Futures Games while receiving recognition by Baseball America as having the best infield arm and as the best defensive third baseman in the Dodgers' minor league system. Following the 2012 season, the club converted him to pitching. He appeared in six playoffs for Los Angeles.
After reaching free agency following the 2020 season, Báez signed with the Astros. In early 2022, he rejoined the Dodgers organization.
Báez signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers as a non-drafted free agent out of Bani, Dominican Republic by assistant general manager Logan White on January 22, 2007, and began his career as a third baseman that season with the Gulf Coast Dodgers. In 53 games, he hit .274/.341/.408, leading the league with five sacrifice flies. His 39 RBIs ranked second in the Gulf Coast League, his 14 doubles ranked sixth, and his 35 runs ranked eighth, and he was rated as having the best infield arm in the Dodgers organization.
He split the 2008 season between the Ogden Raptors of the Pioneer Baseball League and the Great Lakes Loons of the Midwest League, hitting .229/.285/.398 in 120 games with 13 home runs and 66 RBIs. He played in 79 games in 2009 for the Inland Empire 66ers of the California League, hitting .286/.326/.445 with 10 homers and 61 RBIs. He was again cited by Baseball America as having the best infield arm in the Dodgers system and represented the World team in the 2009 All-Star Futures Game.
In 2010 Báez spent most of the season with the 66ers, but finished the year with the Chattanooga Lookouts of the Class AA Southern League. He played in 84 games, hitting .263/.313/.348 with six homers and 45 RBIs. He was selected to the World team at the All-Star Futures Game for a second straight season. Báez appeared in 32 games early in 2011 with the Lookouts, hitting only .210/.278/.381 in 105 at bats before spending most of the season on the disabled list.
In 2012 with the Lookouts, he was selected to the mid-season Southern League all-star team. Between the Lookouts and the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes, he played in 128 games and hit .221/.306/.374 with 11 homers and 59 RBIs. He was rated by Baseball America as being the Dodgers best minor league defensive infielder and having the best infield arm.
After the 2012 season, the Dodgers decided that they would attempt to convert Báez from third base and make him a pitcher. To that point he had played 484 minor league games at third base, one at shortstop, and one at first base. The Dodgers added Báez to the 40-man roster on November 20, 2013. He was assigned, as a pitcher, to the Quakes to start the 2013 season, but was promoted to Chattanooga at mid-season. Between the two levels, he appeared in 48 games out of the bullpen and was 3–3 with two saves and a 3.88 ERA in 58 innings. He then pitched 4.1 innings for the Glendale Desert Dogs of the Arizona Fall League after the season.
