José Miguel Cabrera Torres
(born April 18, 1983), nicknamed "
Miggy
", is a
Venezuelan
professional
baseball
first baseman
and
designated hitter
for the
Detroit Tigers
of
Major League Baseball
(MLB). Since his debut in 2003 he has been a two-time
American League
(AL)
Most Valuable Player
(MVP) award winner, a four-time
AL batting champion
, and an 11-time
MLB All-Star
. He has played at first and
third base
for most of his major league career, but primarily played
left
and
right field
before 2006. In 2022, Cabrera became the third player in history with a career batting average above .300,
500 home runs
, and
3,000 hits
, joining
Hank Aaron
and
Willie Mays
.
[1]
[2]
He claimed the 17th
MLB Triple Crown
in 2012,
[2]
the first to do so in 45 seasons. In the
Venezuelan Winter League
, Cabrera was signed by
Tigres de Aragua
at 16 years old. In this league, he recorded his first hit as a professional in December 1999, at age 16 years 8 months.
[3]
Cabrera was signed in 1999 as an amateur
free agent
by the
Florida Marlins
, and progressed through
their minor league system.
He made his MLB debut in mid-
2003
at the age of 20, and contributed to the Marlins'
World Series success
later that year. Over the next four seasons, Cabrera was a regular player for the Marlins before being traded to the
Detroit Tigers
in late 2007. In
2012
, Cabrera became the first player since
1967
to win the batting Triple Crown, leading the AL with a .330
batting average
, 44
home runs
, and 139
runs batted in
(RBI), earning him the AL MVP award that year. In
2013
, Cabrera improved on his previous year's batting performance, including a career-high .348 batting average, and received another AL MVP award.
Cabrera has won four AL batting titles, including three in consecutive years (2011–2013), and has batted over .300 in 11 different seasons. He has hit 30 or more home runs in ten separate seasons, and driven in over 100 runs in 12 separate seasons (including
11 consecutive seasons
, 2004–2014). Cabrera is the all-time leader in career home runs and hits by a Venezuelan player, surpassing
Andrés Galarraga
and
Omar Vizquel
respectively.
[4]
[5]
He joined the
500 home run club
in 2021 and the
3,000 hit club
in 2022; he is the seventh player in MLB history to reach both milestones.
