Jonah Nathan Heim (born June 27, 1995) is an American professional baseball catcher for the Athletics of Major League Baseball (MLB). He has previously played in MLB for the Texas Rangers and Atlanta Braves. Born in Buffalo, New York, Heim attended Amherst Central High School, where the cold weather limited how often he played outdoors. The Baltimore Orioles selected him in the fourth round of the 2013 MLB draft, and he took several years to develop his offensive abilities in the Orioles' farm system. Heim was traded twice in the minor leagues, first to the Tampa Bay Rays and then to Oakland, where he made his MLB debut in 2020. The following year, the Athletics traded Heim to Texas, where he became the Rangers' starting catcher, represented the team at the 2023 MLB All-Star Game, and was a member of the 2023 World Series champions.
