The Angels selected Maldonado in the 27th round of the 2004 MLB draft, and he made his MLB debut in 2011 as a member of the Brewers. In 2017, he both won a Gold Glove and a Fielding Bible Award. ''The New York Times'' described him in October 2021, following a season in which Maldonado batted .172, as “arguably the worst hitter in baseball,” and ''Sports Illustrated'' wrote that "he quite possibly could be the worst-hitting everyday player in MLB history", although he has also been cited as a key factor in the success of the Astro pitching staff.
As a member of the Astros, Maldonado was the backstop for two American League (AL) pennant-winning teams, which included a World Series championship in 2022. He is one of two catchers in Astros' franchise history to catch multiple no-hitters: the first in 2019, the second in 2022, and the third August 1, 2023. He caught one complete game no-hitter and two combined no-hitters, and he became the first catcher in major league history to catch multiple combined no-hitters. Provided by Wikipedia
