Carlos Santana was born on April 8th 1986 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. He is a switch hitting catcher in the Cleveland Indians organization. He came to the Indians in the Casey Blake trade along with right hander John Meloan.
He is a very good offensively minded catcher. He is probably one of the most patient hitters in the Indians organization. He displays good power numbers and even though he has only been a catcher for a little over two years is pretty good defensively.
He was named player of the year for Single A and if you look at the stats he put up you can see why. Here they are... he hit between the Indians and Dodgers .326/.431/.568 with 21 homeruns 117 RBI and a 85:89 K:BB Ratio.
After obliterating Single A pitching Carlos looks like he should be in the middle of the order for the Akron Aeros. It is quite possible he could even reach AAA if he puts up numbers like he did in Single A.
