Timeline
Velázquez died in 2019 in Villa Altagracia, San Cristóbal DR at the age of 81.
He later bounced around the minors, playing briefly in the Montreal Expos organization before joining the Braves. Velázquez stayed in the Atlanta minor-league system until their MLB catcher Johnny Oates was injured in 1973. Now in his age 35 season, Velázquez was brought up for his second cup of coffee in the majors. At the time, he was leading the Double-A Southern League in home runs (18) and runs batted in (64) prior to his promotion. But he excelled in limited opportunities with the Braves, with a .348 batting average (8-for-23) in 15 games.
Velázquez returned to Double-A Savannah Braves in 1973, when enjoyed his most productive season in the minors with a .293/.325/.498 slash line, 21 homers and 83 RBI in 117 games. He opened 1976 with Savannah and gained a promotion to Triple-A Richmond Braves late in the year, his last season in the minors.
According to R.I.P. Baseball website, Velázquez almost did not play baseball at all. He said in a 1973 profile that he could have been a doctor, but instead he decided that there was no money in it. In fact, Velázquez spent most of hit time in the majors waiting for something to happen.
Afterwards, Velázquez played only winterball in the Dominican League until he was signed by the Kansas City Athletics prior to the 1964 season. He stayed with the Atletics until 1968, playing mainly in A-ball, appearing in more than 100 games three times in those five years, but he batted fairly well and hit 43 home runs overall, including 16 homers in 1968. The San Diego Padres acquired Velázquez in the winter of 1968, but he was officially with the organization for about two months before he was picked up by the expansion Pilots on December 2. While at Seattle, the 31-year-old rookie formed part of a five-catcher tandem and was used sparingly.
Born in Santo Domingo, DR Velázquez was the first Dominican catcher to play in the major leagues. He was signed originally to a minor-league contract in 1958 by San Francisco Giants scout Horacio Martínez, who had also signed Juan Marichal, Manny Mota and the three Alou brothers: Felipe, Matty and Jesús. He played just one season for the Giants organization in the same year, appearing in 102 games for the Class-D Panama City Fliers and was released by the Giants after the season.
Besides, Velázquez spent 19 seasons in the Dominican Winter League, while playing 14 of them with the Leones del Escogido (1957–71; 1977–78) and five for the Tigres del Licey (1973–77) in between. In 1993, he gained induction in the Dominican Sports Hall of Fame (Pabellón de la Fama del Deporte Dominicano).
Federico Antonio Velázquez Velásquez (December 6, 1937 – May 21, 2019) was a Dominican professional baseball catcher who played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Seattle Pilots (1969) and Atlanta Braves (1973).
