Carlos Beltran was born on Sunday, April 24, 1977, in Manati, Puerto Rico. Beltran was 21 years old when he broke into the big leagues on September 14, 1998, with the Kansas City Royals. His biographical data, year-by-year hitting stats, fielding stats, pitching stats (where applicable), career totals, uniform numbers, salary data and miscellaneous items-of-interest are presented by Baseball Almanac on this comprehensive Carlos Beltran baseball stats page.
"Beltran's career: low on drama and high on results. He's soft-spoken, determined and almost regal in his ability to rise above petty dramas and distractions and concentrate on the task at hand... When an athlete is so unassuming and mind-numbingly consistent, it's easy to lose track or sell him short. Beltran won an American League Rookie of the Year Award with Kansas City and admittedly 'cried like a baby' when the Royals sent him to Houston (Astros) in 2004. Then he signed a $119 million contract with New York (Mets), where he made five All-Star teams and once smacked into Mike Cameron in an outfield collision for the ages. All of a sudden Beltran is 36 years old and not quite as limber as he once was. The face is fuller, the body thicker and not so lithe, and he has to pick his spots. But the numbers reflect a bountiful career that keeps getting better. Beltran just made his eighth All-Star team, a distinction that ties him with Andre Dawson, Duke Snider, Jim Rice and Chipper Jones, among others. The first three are in the Hall of Fame, and Jones is on his way." - Crasnick, Jerry. ESPN Writer. Beltran should land in Cooperstown. 14 August 2013.

When Beltran stole second base, in the second inning, of the game played on June 15, 2012, he became only the eighth player ever to reach the 300 / 300 milestone; joining Barry Bonds (762 HRs / 514 SBs), Bobby Bonds (332 HRs / 461 SBs), Andre Dawson (438 HRs / 314 SBs), Steve Finley (304 HRs / 320 SBs), Willie Mays (660 HRs / 338 SBs), Alex Rodriguez (689 HRs / 328 SBs) and Reggie Sanders (305 HRs / 304 SBs).
Did you know that Carlos Beltran had the first-ever hit in a regular season game at Marlins Park? The Miami Marlins hosted the St. Louis Cardinals on Opening Day in Marlins Park on April 4, 2012, the first regular season game ever played in the new ballpark, and in the first inning, Beltran hit a single off Josh Johnson (and was eventually driven in by David Freese, scoring the first run in Marlins Park).
Did you know that Carlos Beltran was the first New York Mets outfielder to win more than one Gold Glove Award? The three time (2006, 2007, 2008) Gold Glover took over the lead in 2007, after passing Tommie Agee, who won one Gold Glove Award with the Mets in 1970.

In 2004, Carlos Beltran joined the 30 / 30 Club in a way no player in history had ever done before (or since): Beltran hit fifteen home runs with the [American League] Kansas City Royals and twenty-three home runs after being traded to the [National League] Houston Astros (38 total home runs). That same year, Beltran stole 14 bases with the Royals and twenty-eight with the Astros (42 total stolen bases). Beltran joined the 30 / 30 Club with stats from both the American and National League in the same season, the first time it ever occurred.
Carlos Beltran hit forty-one home runs in 2006, a New York Mets single season record for home runs (tied with Todd Hundley who had 41 home runs in 1996, but the most ever in team history by a switch-hitter). That same year, Beltran also set the franchise record for runs scored with one-hundred twenty-seven, one of only three instances where a Mets player broke the 120 mark (Edgardo Alfonzo / 123 runs scored in 1999 and Jose Reyes / 122 runs scored in 2006).
