The Dominican Republic is well represented in the major leagues, but their most impressive representative is David Molina. Signed as a 20 year old international prospect in season 1 to a major league contract, David got an early start. He made an immediate impact, sending 44 balls out of the park and knocking in 156 runs for his team. Never looking back, Molina has hit at least 40 HRs each season while playing solid, if not spectatular, defense in the outfield. Season 4 saw Molina take his game to another level, winning the MVP award while hitting .335 with an amazing .707 slugging percentage. Amazingly he improved upon those numbes in season 5, slugging .728 with a career high 64 home runs and led his team to their second straight playoff appearance. This earned David a well deserved 2nd straight MVP award. Looking for either a huge deal from arbitration or a long term, high dollar contract, Molina looks to continue his major production for Atlanta while earning superstar dollars.
