Juan Pierre

Juan D'Vaughn Pierre (born August 14, 1977) is an American former professional baseball outfielder. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) from 2000–2013 for the Colorado Rockies, Florida/Miami Marlins, Chicago Cubs, Los Angeles Dodgers, Chicago White Sox, and Philadelphia Phillies. Known for his speed, he stole 614 bases in his career, the 18th-most in MLB history at the time of his retirement, and the most since 2000. In 1,994 games over 14 seasons, Pierre posted a .295 batting average, with 2217 hits (the most by a non-all-star), 1075 runs, 255 doubles, 94 triples, 18 home runs, 517 RBI, 614 stolen bases, 464 bases on balls, .343 on-base percentage and .361 slugging percentage. His 205 bunt hits are the second most all-time. He finished his career with a .990 fielding percentage playing at center and left field. In 26 postseason games, he hit .304 (24-for-79), with 16 runs, five doubles, two triples, seven RBI, three stolen bases and eight walks. In retrospective rankings published by MLB.com, Pierre was named the best center fielder in Marlins franchise history and fifth all-time among Rockies center fielders. Throughout his career, he wore a cap underneath his helmet while batting and baserunning. Pierre is often recognized as the last player to do so, as it went out of style when the league added earflaps to helmets in the 1960s.
