Player Biography
Joe Mauer played 15 seasons – all with the Twins – and became the first and only catcher to win three league battle titles, doing so in his first five full big league campaigns. His first batting title in 2006 made him the first catcher in AL history to win batting crown, and he followed up with titles in 2008 and 2009. He was named the AL Most Valuable Player in 2009 after hitting .365 with a league-leading OPS of 1.031, becoming the only catcher (minimum 100 games played) to lead his league in OPS. Mauer was a six-time All-Star, five-time Silver Slugger Award winner and three-time Gold Glove Award winner. As the No. 1 overall pick in 2001 MLB Draft, Mauer joins Ken Griffey Jr. (2016), Chipper Jones (2018) and Harold Baines (1977) as only top overall draft picks elected to Cooperstown. He topped the .400 mark in on-base percentage in six of his seasons as a catcher, a total exceeded by only six other catchers, none of whom started their careers after 1930. Mauer is the only catcher in history with at least 2,000 hits, a .300 batting average and a .380 on-base percentage.
