Marcell Ozuna, nicknamed “the Big Bear”, is a Dominican professional baseball designated hitter and outfielder for the Atlanta Braves of Major League Baseball. He has previously played in MLB for the Miami Marlins and St. Louis Cardinals. 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) and won both a Gold Glove and a Silver Slugger Award in 2017, his breakout season. That year, he finished fourth in the National League (NL) in batting average (.312), and third in home runs (37) and runs batted in (124). Following the 2017 season, the Marlins traded Ozuna to the St. Louis Cardinals. In 2020 he led the NL in both home runs and RBIs.
In the 2022 season, Ozuna played 124 games for the Atlanta Braves and hit 23 home runs. In 2023, the “Big Bear” hit two home runs in the 2023 regular-season finale to finish with a career-high 40 home runs. His two October 1st homers also helped the 2023 Braves tie the 2019 Minnesota Twins for most home runs hit in a season. During the 2024 season, Ozuna was one of the few bright spots in Atlanta’s injury-plagued lineup. He finished the season batting .302 with 39 home runs, 104 RBIs, and a .925 OPS. Ozuna also finished 4th in NL MVP voting.
