Andrew Velazquez Stats & Bio | Rangers Shortstop

About Andrew Velazquez

Andrew Velazquez is a shortstop for the Texas Rangers, wearing jersey number 18 and bringing gritty, hometown determination to every game he plays. Born on July 14, 1994, in the Bronx, New York, Velazquez represents the kind of blue-collar player who earned his spot in the major leagues through relentless work ethic rather than pedigree. Standing 5'8" and weighing 170 pounds, he plays with an energy and intensity that belies his compact frame. Velazquez skipped the traditional college route, instead developing his skills through the professional pipeline. Currently navigating a challenging stretch with a .111 batting average over eight recent games, he remains a dynamic presence on the field, particularly valued for his defense and athleticism at shortstop. A Bronx kid living his big-league dream, Velazquez continues pushing to make his mark in professional baseball.
