Location of the island of Puerto Rico (green)

This is an alphabetical list of professional baseball players from the island of Puerto Rico which had played in Major League Baseball, this includes players that have played between 1942 to the present, but not those that played in the Negro Leagues prior to this. This includes players that were born in Puerto Rico, nationalized immigrants, immigrants that were instructed in the island and native Puerto Ricans and immigrants that have represented Puerto Rico in international competition. The firs player from the island to play in Major League Baseball was Hiram Bithorn on 1942. After the league decided to allow African American players participation in the league more players from the island signed contracts, this led to an improvement on their performance which led to some of them having participation in the Major League Baseball All-Star Game. Including their names in the Major League Baseball Draft is a requisite for first year players who originate in Puerto Rico, because the league recognizes the island as a jurisdiction within the United States. This measure has led to the local government officially asking exclusion of the draft and help to develop players, in order to reduce the impact of the change in the format of talent development.

Historical performance and regulations

Baseball was introduced to Puerto Rico by immigrants during the nineteenth century. The first sanctioned baseball game in the island was played on January 9, 1898 in Santurce, Puerto Rico, where two teams compossed of Puerto Rican, American and Cuban players participated.[1] After this game, baseball became a widespread sport and professional and amateur leagues were organized. During this time period, the Puerto Rico national teams experienced success on international competition and Afro-Puerto Rican players began to participate in the Negro League.[2]

Map listing the countries that participated in the first edition of the World Baseball Classic

The first player born in Puerto Rico that played in Major League Baseball was Hiram Bithorn, who debuted as a pitcher with the Chicago Cubs on April 15, 1942.[3] This was followed by the introduction of African-American players in Major League Baseball, which allowed more chances to players born in the island. Subsequently Afro-Puerto Rican players such as Orlando Cepeda and Victor Pellot began having solid performances in the league, and were selected to participate in the Major League Baseball All-Star Game.[4] In 1973, Roberto Clemente bacame first player from Puerto Rico and first Latin American to be elected as a member of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.[5]

Puerto Rico was one of sixteen teams to participate in the inaugural edition of the World Baseball Classic.[6] The tournament was created by Major League Baseball, the Major League Baseball Players Association, and other professional baseball leagues and their players associations around the world, including the Puerto Rican Professional Baseball League. The first event was organized in 2006, and was sationed by the International Baseball Federation. The Hiram Bithorn Stadium in San Juan, Puerto Rico served as one of the venues for the first and second rounds.[7] The stadium also hosted twenty-two of the Montreal Expos home games in 2003, after the league decided to relocate the team to San Juan as part of an experiment to globalize baseball.[8] During the games there was an average fanatic attendance of 14, 222.[9]

Originally players that were born or nationalized on Puerto Rico were able to sign with Major League teams as free agents, usually receiving Minor League contracts prior to their debut in the league. On 1989, Major League Baseball decided to include the island in the list of jurisdictions within the United States, which made mandatory that first year players include their name in the Major League Baseball Draft in order to receive a contract.[10] This was based on an initiative that was supposed to create a national and international drafting system. The change reduced the amount of players that were able to participate in the league, by limiting the number of them selected by the teams.[10] Which led to the island's Secretary of Recreation and Sports, to formally ask to Major League's involvement in developing specialized schools to produce more players and other measures to reduce the impact of the draft's implementation.[10] The original proposal included Puerto Rico's exclusion of the draft for a period of ten years, but this was not approved by the league.
