Trent Oeltjen Biography

Trent Oeltjen is one of the most popular and richest Baseball Player who was born on February 28, 1983 in Sydney, Sydney, Australia. In his third game, he hit a lead-off home run against the Washington Nationals, as well as one against the New York Mets in his fourth game. Oeltjen hit his three home runs in his first 20 at bats. He also came one hit shy of the cycle in a four hit game on 11 August. The four hits meant that he became the fifth player in the “expansion era” since 1961 to have twelve hits in the first five major league games played.

Trent was impressing critics as he continued to rise through the ranks, batting at .300 with the AA team New Britain Rock Cats in 2006 and was picked for the World team in the 2006 All-Star Futures Game. Following this success, he was promoted to AAA in 2007 for the Rochester Red Wings and although struggled in the regular season, he was perhaps the most outstanding individual player in the 2007 Baseball World Cup where he hit at a 523/.580/.614 clip to lead averages, steals (7) and runs (9) and was picked in the Cup All-Star team.

On 6 August 2009, Oeltjen recorded his first major league hit against Pittsburgh Pirates’ pitcher Kevin Hart. Oeltjen then proceeded to steal his first major league base. He then hit his first major league home run off Pittsburgh Pirates’ pitcher Jesse Chavez in the top of the 8th inning, a blast over the right field wall. Oeltjen finished the game 2 for 6 with an RBI and two stolen bases.

In 2008, he signed as a free agent with the Arizona Diamondbacks. He hit .317/.357/.466 for the Tucson Sidewinders. His consistent performances continued when Oeltjen was with Australia for the 2009 World Baseball Classic and batted 6 for 12 in the tournament. In the 2009 season he was batting over .300 and slugging .505 for the Reno Aces. He was called up to the majors on 6 August 2009, when Justin Upton was injured.

Oeltjen was signed by the Minnesota Twins organization in 2001. He hit at a .321/.387/.418 clip in his debut year for the GCL Twins and was quickly promoted to the Elizabethton Twins before the end of the season. The following year, Trent continued to excel and was promoted to the Class A Quad City River Bandits. He continued to improve and by the end of 2003 he was batting just under .300 in 123 games for Quad City and was promoted to the Fort Myers Miracle for the ’04 season where he missed games to play for the Australia national baseball team in the 2004 Athens Olympics. Oeltjen would go on to represent Australia at the 2005 Baseball World Cup and 2006 World Baseball Classic.
