Timeline

1983

Geovany Soto (born January 20, 1983) is a Puerto Rican former professional baseball catcher.

2005

Selected by the Chicago Cubs 318th overall in the 11th round of the 2001 Major League Baseball draft, Soto made his major league debut on September 23, 2005, against the Houston Astros.

2007

He was recalled by the Cubs on July 12, 2007, but only had 1 hit in 7 at-bats.

In September 2007, when the Cubs expanded their roster, he joined the team again.

This was mainly because, in the minor leagues that year, he batted .353 with 26 home runs and 109 RBI and was named the Pacific Coast League's MVP while playing for the Iowa Cubs.

After his call-up in September, Soto had an average of .389.

Soto started for the Cubs during the 2007 playoff series against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

In game 2 of the series, Soto hit a home run into the left field bleachers at Chase Field, giving the Cubs an early 2–0 lead.

2008

He played 13 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB), most prominently as a member of the Chicago Cubs, where he appeared in the MLB All-Star Game and was named the National League Rookie of the Year in 2008.

He also played for the Texas Rangers, the Oakland Athletics, the Los Angeles Angels and the Chicago White Sox.

The Cubs ended up losing that game, but it further solidified him as the Cubs' full-time catcher going into 2008, with Jason Kendall moving on to Milwaukee as a free agent.

Arguably the best offensive performance in Soto's career came April 30, 2008, in a rout against the Brewers.

Soto hit two 3-run homers to account for 6 of the Cubs' 19 RBIs, only a few days removed from a two-game stretch against the Nationals in which he struck out in 8 consecutive at-bats.

Soto was voted the National League Rookie of the Month for April 2008 after hitting .341 with 5 home runs, 8 doubles, and 20 RBIs, with an OPS of 1.059.

On May 19, 2008, he scored his first career Inside-the-park home run against the Houston Astros.

Soto led the early stage of the voting process for the National League's catcher in the 2008 Major League Baseball All-Star Game.

He was selected to be the National League's starting catcher in the game.

Soto became the first rookie catcher ever to start on the National League All-Star team.

Soto is the first Cubs' All-Star rookie to play in the game with at least 14 home runs since Rafael Palmeiro did it in 1987, surpassing the mark when he hit his 15th home run on July 6, 2008.

He went 3 for 5 with 7 RBIs in a game on August 26 against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

As a rookie catcher, Soto called a no-hitter game from behind the plate to pitcher Carlos Zambrano in a game against the Houston Astros on September 14, 2008.

Played at Miller Park in Milwaukee due to Hurricane Ike moving through Houston, this was the first no-hitter in major league history pitched at a neutral site.

After the 2008 season, Soto was honored with the Sporting News Rookie of the Year Award and the Major League Baseball Rookie of the Year Award for the National League.

Soto posted a .285 batting average, along with 23 home runs and 86 RBI's. Soto won the award in a landslide, receiving 31 of 32 first place votes.

Soto is the first Cubs' backstop to play for multiple Cub playoff teams since Gabby Hartnett, and is the first to start playoff games in consecutive years since Johnny Kling.

Soto also won the Pedrín Zorrilla Award, receiving unanimous support during the voting process.

Orlando Cepeda was contacted to present the award, traveling to Puerto Rico for the ceremony.

2009

Soto was unable to live up to huge expectations in 2009, only posting a .218 batting average and 47 RBI.

In June 2009, Soto was revealed to have tested positive for marijuana at the World Baseball Classic.

While MLB did not take any disciplinary actions, the International Baseball Federation has banned him from playing internationally for two years.

2010

In 2010, Soto batted .280 with 17 home runs.

2011

In 2011, Soto batted .228 with 17 home runs.

He led major league catchers in errors committed, with 13, and had the lowest fielding percentage, at .987.

2012

On July 30, 2012, Soto was traded to the Texas Rangers for right-handed pitcher Jake Brigham.

In 47 games with Texas in 2012, he hit .196 with 5 home runs and 25 RBI.

2013

Soto spent 2013 as the backup catcher to A. J. Pierzynski.

On June 4, 2013, Soto played his first career game at third base.

On July 29, Soto hit a home run to win a game against the Angels.

The Rangers entered the bottom of the ninth down by 1 before Pierzynski, the designated hitter, hit a solo home run to tie the game.

In 54 games in 2013, Soto hit .245/.328/.466 with 9 home runs and 22 RBI.
