Francisco Cervelli MLB Stats

Born in Valencia, Venezuela, Francisco Cervelli played 13 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) with four different teams and won a World Series in 2009 with the New York Yankees. A veteran of 730 regular season games, he hit 41 home runs in his career to go along with 275 RBI, a .268 batting average, 102 doubles, 16 triples, and 281 runs scored. He also had 270 walks, an on-base percentage (OBP) of .358, and a .382 slugging percentage. Cervelli had one hit in 10 plate appearances in six career playoff games.  

Signed by the Yankees as an amateur free agent in March 2003, Cervelli debuted with the club’s Gulf Coast League affiliate in 2005 at 19 years old. The right-handed hitting catcher ascended New York’s minor league affiliates over the next three seasons and made his big league debut in 2008. He played in three games that season. 

Cervelli played in 42 games the following season and finished the year with a .298 batting average. He had 28 hits, including one home run and four doubles, and drove in 11 runs while scoring 13. Cervelli spent the following five seasons with the Yankees and recorded a career-best .301 batting average in 49 games during the 2014 season. He also had two home runs and 13 RBI that year. 

Traded by the Yankees to the Pittsburgh Pirates for Justin Wilson in November 2014, Cervelli enjoyed some of the most productive years of his career with the National League franchise. He played in a career-high 130 games with the Pirates in 2015 and finished the season with seven home runs, 43 RBI, and a .295 batting average. He also had 17 doubles and scored 56 runs, also a career-best mark.

Cervelli remained a productive player for the Pirates in 2016 and 2017, but had arguably the best year of his career in 2018. He established career-high marks in home runs (12) and RBI (57) that season, despite playing in only 104 games. He also had 15 doubles, three triples, and a .259 batting average that season.  

Despite his success in Pittsburgh, Cervelli was released by the team in August 2019 after producing a .193 batting average with 21 hits through 123 plate appearances in the 2019 season. He subsequently signed with the Atlanta Braves and recorded a .281 batting average, two home runs, and seven RBI in 14 games to conclude the 2019 season.  

Cervelli signed with the Miami Marlins the following offseason, but appeared in just 16 games during the 2020 season. He finished that year, which would be his last in MLB, with a .245 batting average to go along with three home runs, seven RBI, 10 runs scored, and two doubles. 

Skilled defensively, Cervelli caught 5,571.1 innings pitched behind the plate and allowed just 48 passed balls. He threw out 118 base runners for a caught stealing success rate of 24 percent and was credited with 4,913 putouts. He made only 51 errors and finished his career with a .990 fielding percentage. He also played 100.1 innings at first base and had a .988 fielding percentage.
