He has previously played in MLB for the Miami Marlins, St. Louis Cardinals and Atlanta Braves. He made his MLB debut in 2013 with the Marlins.
Ozuna was signed by the Marlins as an amateur free agent in 2008. He is a three-time MLB All-Star (2016, 2017, 2024), a two-time Silver Slugger (2017, 2020) and Gold Glove winner in 2017, his breakout season.
