Miguel Cabrera Career

Major league career

Cabrera made his major league debut on June 20, 2003, at 20 years old; Édgar Rentera, 19 years old, was the first Marlins player to make his debut at a young age. In his first major league game against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, Cabrera scored a walk-off home run, beating Billy Parker in 1972 and Josh Bard in 2002 as the third player to reach a game-winning home run in his big-league debut. Cabrera quickly established himself as a top-hitter for the Marlins in July after his stellar play in July. Cabrera's postseason play helped Florida win the World Series over the New York Yankees and landed him on the front page of ESPN The Magazine during the offseason. As teammate Dontrelle Willis received the award, he came in fifth in the NL Rookie of the Year voting.

Cabrera scored.286 with three RBIs in the NLDS against the Giants. He hit.333 with three home runs and six RBIs, including clutch home runs in Game 1 and Game 7 in which the Marlins were thrown crucial leads in the NLCS. Cabrera met Roger Clemens for the first time in his career in Game 4 of the 2003 World Series against the Yankees. Clemens threw a 92-mph fastball in the first inning, causing Cabrera to turn and stare at Clemens. Cabrera hit a pitch to deep right field for a two-run home run later in the at-bat. The home run would win the Marlins by a few points apiece en route to a 4–3 win en route to a 4–3 win. The Cabrera and the Marlins will win the 2003 World Series in six games.

Cabrera batted.268 (84-for-314), with 12 home runs, 62 RBIs, 21 doubles, 21 doubles, and three triples in 87 games played and received NL Rookie of the Month awards for both July and September in his first season.

Cabrera batted.294 with 33 home runs, 112 RBIs, 177 runs, a.366 on-base percentage, a.512 slugging percentage from the third and fourth spots in the order, despite playing in 160 games and winning his first All-Star appearance.

Cabrera spent the whole 2004 season in the outfield and had 13 outfield assists. He made 262 putouts in 284 total fielding attempts (tied for the most among NL outfielders).

Cabrera finished second in the National League in hits with 198 runs, 43 doubles, two triples, and 116 RBIs. He was selected to his second consecutive All-Star Game, as well as colleagues Paul Lo Duca and Willis, and received his first Silver Slugger Award. Cabrera's 33 home runs made him the youngest player in Major League Baseball history with back-to-back 30 homer seasons, with back-to-back 30 days. Albert Pujols was able to complete the feat in 22 years, 223 days. Cabrera will have four seasons with at least 100 runs batted in, the most among Marlin players in history, and he is the only one to have had 100-RBI seasons.

Cabrera played for Venezuela in the inaugural World Baseball Classic before the 2006 season; the Venezuelan team finished seventh in the tournament.

Cabrera finished the year with a.339 batting average, 26 home runs, and 114 RBIs, with teammates Josh Willingham and Dan Uggla following him and ahead of him. He was chosen for his third straight All-Star Game and received his second Silver Slugger Award.

On June 22, 2006, pitcher Todd Williams let the first pitch of an attempted intentional walk get too close to the plate, and Cabrera pulled it out and singled it to right center field. The Marlins took the lead over the Baltimore Orioles after the hit occurred during the 10th inning, scoring the winning run to give the Marlins a 6–5 advantage over the Baltimore Orioles.

Cabrera became involved in an altercation with teammate Scott Olsen during a road loss to the New York Mets on July 9, 7–6. Paul Lo Duca, the Marlins' catcher, shot Cabrera's glove off and rolled into left field, allowing a run to score as Lo Duca raced to second place with a double. Olsen could be heard shouting something at Cabrera as they came off the field. Cabrera was caught in the packed dugout extending past teammates to scream at Olsen as the pitcher walked past him a moment later. Olsen attempted to jab back at Cabrera, who assaulted Olsen and attempted to kick him before the players were quickly separated by teammates.

For the third time in his career, Cabrera was chosen to represent the National League All-Stars, making his first appearance in the Home Run Derby. Cabrera finished third in third place in the event with 15 home runs.

The Pittsburgh Pirates' shortstop Freddy Sanchez was the subject of the National League batting crown until the last day of the regular season. Joe Girardi, the Marlins' boss, decided to bat Cabrera leadoff in the season's final game to give him more chances of getting a hit for the crown. He came in second place behind Sanchez, finishing second. Cabrera also ended the 2006 campaign with a.568 slugging percentage and a.430 on-base percentage.

Cabrera became the first player of the 2007 offseason to win his arbitration hearing, earning a one-year deal worth $7.4 million.

Cabrera played in his fourth straight All-Star game. He was originally supposed to participate in the Home Run Derby but a few days before the All-Star break, his left shoulder suffered a few days before the derby and restricted him to a pinch-hit at-bat against Dan Haren, which he missed out.

Cabrera scored at least 100 runs in a game against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field on September 15, 2007. It was his fourth year in a row. In the first inning against Ubaldo Jiménez, he registered his 100th RBI. Cabrera's first grand slam, five innings later, he had four more RBIs as he drove a ball 438 feet (134 m) into the center field trees. He joined David Ortiz, Alex Rodriguez, Albert Pujols, Mark Teixeira, Bobby Abdue, and Vladimir Guerrero as the only players to reach the 100-RBI plateau in any of the four previous seasons.

Cabrera was named NL Player of the Week twice in 2007 (April 1–8 and June 4–10). On the franchise home run list, he also defeated former Marlins Gary Sheffield and Derrek Lee for second place. Cabrera placed third in all-time franchise RBIs and first in batting average. Cabrera finished the 2007 season with career highs in both home runs (34) and bat batted (119), while still hitting for a.320 average.

Dontrelle Willis, a starting pitcher, relocated Cameron Maybin, Eulogio De La Cruz, Burke Badenhop, outfielder Cameron Maybin, and catcher Mike Rabelo were traded by the Marlins on December 5, 2007.

Cabrera and the Tigers signed an eight-year, $152.3 million contract extension on March 22, 2008. The agreement was the fourth-largest in baseball history, behind those drafted by Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter, and Manny Ramirez. The agreement was also the largest in Tigers history at the time, surpassing the five-year, $75 million contract signed by Magglio Ordóz in 2005 (it was later extended to 2012 when Prince Fielder signed a nine-year, $214 million contract).

In a home game against the Kansas City Royals, Cabrera made his Tigers debut on March 31, 2008. He was playing third base in a home game against the Kansas City Royals on March 31, 2008. He struck a solo home run off Royals pitcher Gil Meche in his third at-bat. With two strikeouts, he finished the game 1-for-5, and the Tigers lost 5–4 in 11 innings.

Cabrera will be moving to first base, with Carlos Guillén as the starting third baseman on April 22, according to manager Jim Leyland. Cabrera had already made seven appearances at first, the first appearances at the height of his career.

After batting.330 with eight home runs and 31 RBIs, Cabrera was named AL Player of the Month for July.

On a home run off Twins pitcher Glen Perkins, Cabrera hit the 1,000-hit plateau on September 7.

Cabrera's career-high 37 home runs in 2008, which led the American League. In 2000, he became the youngest AL home run champion since Troy Glaus. He also set a new record in RBIs (127). He was one of only six players to have played in at least 100 runs in each of the past five seasons, including Alex Rodriguez, Albert Pujols, David Ortiz, Bobby Abrams, and Mark Teixeira.

Cabrera was selected to compete for Venezuela at the 2009 World Baseball Classic, alongside Tigers teammates Magglio Ordórz, Carlos Guillén, and Armando Galarraga.

Cabrera scored a grand slam in left-center at Comerica Park on Opening Day, giving the Detroit Tigers a 15–2 victory over the Texas Rangers. Cabrera had a game 4-for-6 with six RBIs.

In his 1,000th career game against the Oakland A's, Cabrera scored his 200th home run on August 23, 2009. He was the fourth Venezuelan player to reach that high.

Cabrera lost 5–4 Tigers after hitting three home runs in a game against the Oakland Athletics in Detroit on May 28. Two of the home runs were against starter Ben Sheets and one against closer Andrew Bailey. It was the first three-home run game in Cabrera's history, and it was his first game back to the team after his daughter's birth.

Cabrera was named an AL All-Star for the first time since joining the American League and the fifth time in his eight-year career. Justin Morneau, the Minnesota Twins' quarterback, had been chosen to start in his place after he sustained a concussion. Cabrera also participated in the Home Run Derby, finishing fourth overall with 12 home runs.

Cabrera suffered a high ankle sprain while returning to first base on a pick-off attempt on September 26, during a game against the Cleveland Indians. He wanted to play early on, but the Tigers decided not to keep him on hold for the remainder of the season. Cabrera's 2010 season ended with a.328 batting average, a career-high 38 home runs, and 126 RBIs. The inability of a solid #5 hitter to follow Cabrera in the Tigers' lineup resulted in him taking a career-high 89 walks, which included an AL-leading 32 intentional passes. Cabrera led all AL first basemen in errors on defense with 13, on defense.

Cabrera finished second in the 2010 AL MVP polls to Josh Hamilton of the Texas Rangers.

Cabrera was invited to his second AL All-Star team as a reserve in 2011, marking his sixth All-Star Game appearance overall. In a game against the Chicago White Sox on July 15, the first game since the All-Star break, Cabrera scored his 1500th career hit. Cabrera was on average for a.344 average during AL batting championships, while still leading the AL in on-base percentage (.448) and doubles (48). He had his eighth straight 100-RBI season (105) and his fifth straight 30-HR season (28). With 108, he also set a new career-high in walks. Cabrera led all AL first basemen in mistakes on defense with 13.

Cabrera finished in September 2011 at.429 with six home runs and 21 RBIs, propelling the Tigers into the playoffs and eventually the American League Championship Series. Cabrera scored.400, three home runs, and seven RBI in the 2011 ALCS, a 1.606 OPS, but the Tigers lost to the Texas Rangers in six games.

He had the sixth-best career batting average among active players (.317) through 2011, seventh-best slugging percentage (.555) and OPS (.950).

The Tigers revealed in 2012 that Cabrera will be moved to third base after the signing of first baseman Prince Fielder. Cabrera was struck below the right eye by a ground ball off Hunter Pence's bat, breaking a bone. Despite this, Cabrera, the team's orbital surgeon, Dr. Srinivas Iyengar, expected him to be ready for the first day on April 5. He was on the waiting list on Opening Day and was in the starting lineup.

Cabrera and his new coworker Fielder both hit two home runs against the Red Sox on April 7, including back-to-back home runs in the fifth inning. Cabrera's ninth time winning the award this week, from April 4–8, was his ninth time winning this title, five of which were with Detroit.

With Andrés Galarraga's success, he became the second Venezuelan-born player to reach this milestone.

Cabrera made history by winning 30 home runs in five seasons in five seasons by defeating Hank Greenberg (1937–40) and Cecil Fielder (1990–93), who each had four seasons in a row. This was the eighth time in totality that Cabrera has reached the 30 home run record.

After batting.357 with six doubles, eight home runs, 19 runs scored, and 12 walks in 26 games, Cabrera was named American League Player of the Month for August. This was the second time Cabrera was named Player of the Month for the Tigers after he joined Alan Trammell as the only Tigers to win the award more than twice.

Cabrera won the Triple Crown, finished the season with an AL-leading.330 batting average, plus 44 home runs, and 139 RBIs, which led all of Major League Baseball. In 1967, he became the first batter to win a Triple Crown since Carl Yastrzemski. Cabrera was the first non-outfielder to win the Triple Crown since Lou Gehrig in 1934, and the first person to win it without a tie in any of the three categories since Frank Robinson in 1966. He is the first Latin American and the first third baseman to win a Triple Crown. Cabrera's first 200-hit season was followed by a record of 205 times.

In 2013, Al Kaline, a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame, was quoted as "unbelievable" and that Cabrera was "already qualified for Cooperstown" and that Cabrera's results were "unbelievable." Cabrera was "the greatest player in the game of baseball," USA Today Sports' Bob Nightengale said. "He's the best" is a word that describes Nightengale's review, with Barry Bonds' conclusion, "He's the greatest." By far the best answer is no. Without a doubt. The absolute best.

Cabrera's 2013 season was torrid, winning the American League Player of the Month award for May. Cabrera won his third consecutive Player of the Month Award with nine doubles, 12 home runs, 23 runs scored, 23 runs scored, and 15 walks in 28 games for his third straight Player of the Month Award.

Hank Greenberg (1935, 1940) and Hal Newhouser (1944–45), the third Tiger player to win the MVP award more than once.

With Prince Fielder's trade, the Tigers announced that Cabrera would return to first base for the 2014 season.

The Tigers revealed on March 28, 2014 that Cabrera had signed an eight-year contract extension worth $248 million. The Tigers owe $44 million on the remaining two years of Miguel's then-current deal, which total 10-year commitment was worth $292 million. The agreement fell short of Alex Rodriguez's previous record of $275 million. Cabrera's deal has since been outlasted by Giancarlo Stanton's 13-year, $325 million deal in 2014, the most significant in baseball. Many analysts chastised the deal as oversuffical and shortsighted, with The Washington Post calling it "the worst" in the Washington Post.

Cabrera underwent surgery on October 24 to fix a bone spur in his right leg that had been bothering him for several months. He also underwent surgery to fix a stress fracture in his right foot's top. Doctors were aware of the bone spurs, but the finding of the fractured bone was a surprise. "I was feeling a lot of pain," Cabrera's brother said. "I knew something was wrong." During the first half of the 2014 season, he said he'd have to adjust his swing mechanics, since he was unable to put weight on his back foot without pain.

Cabrera was named the AL player of the week for the week of April 5–12. Cabrera won his 13th career player of the week award after hitting.520 (13-for-25) with two doubles, two home runs, eight RBIs, and four runs total to defeat six Tigers victories.

On August 14, Cabrera was removed from the disabled list. He set a new record for the most RBIs by a Venezuelan-born player on August 16, 1,426th in his career.

Despite Cabrera's relatively poor 2015 record, he had only 18 home runs and 76 RBIs, snapping his streak of 11 seasons with at least 25 home runs and 100 RBIs. He was the seventh player to win at least four AL batting titles, following Ty Cobb, Harry Heilmann, Wade Boggs, Rod Carew, Ted Williams, and Nap Lajoie, and Nap Lajoie's second right-handed batter in the live-ball era (since 1920) after joining Heilmann.

Due to a right groin strain, he was put on the 10-day disabled list on April 22, which was the cause. He was activated on May 2 and reached his 450th home run that night. Cabrera hit his 1,000th career extra-base hits on June 2, becoming the 39th player in Major League history to reach the milestone. Cabrera recorded his 1,600th career RBI on July 20, becoming the 36th player in Major League history to reach the milestone. Due to lower back pain, he missed the next two games.

Cabrera was involved in an altercation with Yankees catcher Austin Romine at home plate on August 24, sparking a bench-clearing brawl. Both players were suspended. Cabrera was banned seven games for his part in the brawl on August 25. Since being reduced to six games on appeal, he began serving his suspension on September 2nd.

Cabrera was diagnosed with two herniated discs in his back on September 24, a condition in which he had not played through the entire season. Brad Ausmus and the Tigers did not think the problem would necessitate offseason surgery. Cabrera's 2017 season ended with a career-low batting average and a career-low.399 slugging percentage, while driving in 60 runs in 130 games.

Cabrera was put on the 10-day disabled list on May 4, 2018 due to a right hamstring strain. Cabrera suffered a left biceps injury after swinging and then leaving the game early on June 12. He had a rupture in his left biceps tendon, necessitating surgery and keeping him out of play for the remainder of the 2018 season. He had a.299 batting average, three home runs, and 22 RBIs in 38 games for the 2018 season.

Cabrera had problems with knee injury in 2019, prompting the Tigers to transfer him to a full-time designated hitter role by early June. In 139 games, he was.282 for the year, with 12 home runs and 59 RBI. His.398 slugging percentage was his lowest level of his career.

Cabrera took three hits against the Minnesota Twins on August 29, 2020, taking fifth on the all-time MLB hits list with 2,841. Cabrera was one of only 16 major league players to rank in the top 50 all-time for hits, home runs, and RBIs. Cabrera scored his 2,000th career as a Tiger against the Twins on August 30, becoming the eighth Tiger player to reach the milestone.

Cabrera's second-lowest batting average of his career (.329/.417 in 57 games, his highest batting average of his career) was.250 (the second-lowest batting average of his career)/.417. He ranked 23rd all-time in doubles (581), 23rd in total bases (4,942), 30th in home runs (487), and tied for 46th in hits (2,866), by the end of the season. He had the slowest sprint speed of all major league DHs, he was 23.2 feet per second.

Cabrera became the second Tigers player to reach 350 home runs and 2,000 hits on the team on April 1, 2021, with a home run in his first at-bat of the 2021 season. Cabrera was listed on the 10-day injured list on April 11, with a left biceps strain. On April 25, he was activated off the injured list and returned to game action. Cabrera beat Omar Vizquel for the most career hits by a Venezuelan-born player (2,878) in a May 12 game against the Kansas City Royals. Cabrera's career double with the Tigers on June 1, marking his eighth appearance in franchise history. Cabrera's 585th double in his career on June 15 took him into the all-time MLB top 20 (tied with Rafael Palmeiro).

Cabrera batted.329 (28-for-85) in June after posting a sub-.200 average in the first two months of the 2021 season. It was his first full month batting over.300 since June 2019.

Cabrera earned his 500th home run in the Toronto Blue Jays' 6th inning off of Steven Matz, his 28th player in Major League history and the first to do so as a Tiger. Cabrera has the fifth highest batting average in the 500 home run league, behind Ted Williams (3.44), Babe Ruth (.342), Jimmie Foxx (.312), and Manny Ramirez (.312). The Tigers announced that a "Miggy Celebration Day" would be held at Comerica Park on September 24 just short of the August 22 game. Cabrera's home/road splits for his first 500 home runs are nearly identical (248 at home, 252 on the road).

Cabrera hit Ichiro Suzuki for the most career hits in MLB interleague play on September 7 against the Pittsburgh Pirates, with 369. Cabrera had two more hits in the game and then went 4-for-4 against the Pirates the next night, raising his interleague total to 375. Cabrera hit two more runs against the Tampa Bay Rays on September 10, his ninth plate appearances in a row. This is the longest streak by a Tiger since Walt Dropo had hit in 12 straight plate appearances in 1952 (tying the MLB record), and the longest streak by any major league player age 38 or older since 1995.

Cabrera registered his 1,800th career RBI on September 20, becoming the 20th player to reach the milestone on the official MLB list in history. (Cabrera ranks 22nd on the Baseball Reference List, which indicates that RBI has been incorporated in 1920 but not a nationally recognized statistic.)

Cabrera tied Hank Aaron with three hits and 3+ RBI against the Kansas City Royals on September 25, capturing him for his 81st career game of 3+ hits and 3+ RBI. Lou Gehrig (97), Al Simmons (94), and Babe Ruth (87) had more.

He had the slowest sprint speed of any major league designated hitters in 2021, at 23.9 feet per second. He was tied for 33rd on the all-time MLB hits list at 2,987 at the end of the season. He now ranks 28th in career home runs (502), 18th in career doubles (597), 21st in career extra-base hits (1,116), and 18th in career total bases (5,124).

Following Hank Aaron and Albert Pujols, Cabrera scored his 600th career double on May 7, becoming the third player in MLB history to hit 3,000 runs, 600 doubles, and 500 home runs. He is also the first player in MLB history to reach 3,000 hits, 600 doubles, 500 homers, and at least one Triple Crown. Cabrera had two hits to move past Rickey Henderson to the top of the all-time MLB hits list on June 28, 056). Cabrera was selected as an honorary selection alongside Albert Pujols by commissioner Rob Manfred on July 8, but he was allowed to do so after the 2022 Collective Bargaining Agreement. Cabrera grounded out to shortstop in his first All-Star game plate appearance. Cabrera's 1,840th RBI on July 25th pushed him into the top 15 on the all-time list.

Cabrera was put on the 10-day injured list on September 3 after being relegated to part-time work in August. On September 19, he returned to the Tigers lineup. Cabrera hit.254 on the season with 5 home runs and 43 RBI in 397 at-bats.
