Roberto Petagine Biography

Roberto Petagine is one of the most popular and richest Baseball Player who was born on June 7, 1971 in Nueva Esparta, Venezuela.

Petagine entered professional baseball on February 13, 1990, at the age of 18, when Houston signed him as an undrafted amateur free agent after starting his career in Venezuela with the Leones del Caracas baseball team in which he contributed with his power for several campaigns becoming a star and a well- known baseball player in his country. Later that year, he played his first pro season with the rookie-level GCL Astros of the Gulf Coast League. His production there, and the following year with Single-A Burlington, was solid (if unspectacular). Petagine would go on to substantial minor league success in his early to mid 20s, but even his early stats hinted at the trends that would define—and perhaps curse—his career in American baseball: always having an above-average OBP, but relatively little home run power, by the standards historically applied to first basemen.

Baseball America twice ranked him among the Astros’ top ten prospects (in 1992 and 1994 Houston Astros Baseball America Top Ten Prospects, 1992 – 2013); he was a three-time All-Star (1996–1998) in Triple-A; and he won the International League’s MVP Award in back-to-back years: 1997 as a member of the Mets’ Triple-A affiliate in Norfolk and 1998 as a member of the Reds’ Triple-A affiliate in Indianapolis. Despite his early successes, though, Petagine would never become a regular in the majors, nor receive much chance to play his way into the role; he was traded three times between December, 1994 and February, 1998, and in December 1998 the Reds sold his contract to the Yakult Swallows.
