Early life

edit
]
Encarnacion was born in the Dominican Republic to Elpidio Encarnacion, a
track and field
coach, and Mireya Rivera. He is the third of three sons, including Richard and Julio, and four children, including younger sister, Evelin. Encarnacion also had twelve half-siblings via his father. Encarnacion split time as a high school student between his native country and
Puerto Rico
after his father took a job coaching at a Puerto Rican college. His Puerto Rican residence made him eligible for the
Major League Baseball draft
.
[1]
Professional career
[
edit
]
Cincinnati Reds
[
edit
]
The
Texas Rangers
selected Encarnacion in the ninth round of the
2000 Major League Baseball draft
, and he signed with them. On June 15, 2001, the Rangers traded him and
Ruben Mateo
to the
Cincinnati Reds
in exchange for
pitcher
Rob Bell
. He made his
Major League Baseball
debut on June 24, 2005, and played in 69 games. He finished with a .232
batting average
, nine
home runs
, and 31
runs batted in
(RBIs).
[2]
In the 2006 season, Encarnacion played 117 games for the Reds, and batted .276 with 15 home runs and 72 RBIs.
[2]
Encarnacion won the National League Player of the Week award for the week of August 7?13. During the week, he led the league with 4 home runs and 24 total bases, batting .440 with eight RBIs.
[3]
In 2007, Encarnacion started the year slowly, struggling to bat over .200. He was frequently benched in favor of
Ryan Freel
, which gave
Josh Hamilton
, who was attempting to resurrect his career after it was derailed by addiction to drugs and alcohol, more starts in center field. Encarnacion was benched again at one point by then
manager
Jerry Narron
for not running out a
fly ball
.
[4]
On May 10, 2007, Encarnacion was demoted to the Reds'
Triple-A
affiliate, the
Louisville Bats
. He was recalled to the Major Leagues on May 22, 2007. For the 2007 season, Encarnacion batted .289 with 16 home runs and 76 RBI.
[2]
In 2008, Encarnacion set career highs in games played and home runs. He batted .251 in 146 games with 26 home runs and 68 RBIs, and also struck out 102 times, the first time he had struck out more than 100 times in his career.
[2]
For the 2009 season, Encarnacion stated that he wanted to be more consistent as a hitter who did not try to hit home runs in every at bat: "I want to try to stay more to the middle. Last year, I tried to pull too many balls and hit more homers. That's why my average went down. I will be more consistent as a hitter. I know I can do it. I've done it before. I know I can hit better than that and I just have to keep working".
[5]
Encarnacion played in 43 games with the Reds in the 2009 season, batting just .209 with five home runs and 16 RBIs before being traded to Toronto.
[2]
Toronto Blue Jays
[
edit
]
2009?2011
[
edit
]
Encarnacion, along with right-handed pitchers
Josh Roenicke
and
Zach Stewart
, was traded to the
Toronto Blue Jays
for
Scott Rolen
on July 31, 2009. It was reported that then Blue Jays General Manager
J. P. Ricciardi
was only interested in acquiring Roenicke and Stewart, but Cincinnati would not accept the trade unless the Blue Jays also took on Encarnacion.
[6]
Encarnacion played in 42 games for the Blue Jays during the 2009 season, and batted .240 with eight home runs and 23 RBIs.
[2]
During the offseason, Encarnacion suffered first and second-degree burns to the forehead and the right side of his face when a rocket firecracker hit him in the jaw and exploded near his mouth. After initially being treated near his Dominican Republic home, Encarnacion was transferred to a Miami hospital. He was discharged less than two days after the incident.
[7]
Encarnacion missed 30 games through April and May 2010 with a right arm injury, before returning on May 18, 2010. He hit a home run in his first at bat since the injury against the
Minnesota Twins
. On May 21, he had three home runs against the
Arizona Diamondbacks
, homering in three straight at-bats.
[8]
On June 20, after a loss to the Giants, Encarnacion was optioned to the Triple-A
Las Vegas 51s
.
[9]
However, in a surprise move, he was designated for assignment the next day by the Blue Jays.
[10]
Encarnacion was eventually assigned to Triple-A Las Vegas on June 23, 2010, but was later called up to the Blue Jays again on July 2, 2010, after a struggling performance by Encarnacion's replacement,
Jarrett Hoffpauir
.
[11]
He hit his 100th career home run against the
Minnesota Twins
on the last day of the season, and also became the Jays' 7th player of the 2010 season with 20 or more home runs. Encarnacion finished the 2010 season with a batting average of .244, 21 home runs and 51 RBI.
[2]
On November 12, 2010, Encarnacion was claimed off waivers by the
Oakland Athletics
. On December 2, he was non-tendered by the Athletics, making him a free agent.
[12]
On December 16, 2010, he signed a one-year deal with the Blue Jays worth $2.5 million, with a club option worth $3.5 million in 2012. He began the 2011 season playing third base for the Blue Jays and struggled offensively. His numbers improved significantly after he was moved to the designated hitter position. In a game against the
Boston Red Sox
on September 7, 2011, Encarnacion set a new career record for
doubles
in a single season with 34. On September 22, Encarnacion hit a walk-off home run off the Rogers Sportsnet One sign in the 12th inning against Angels rookie
Garrett Richards
. In 2011, Encarnacion batted .272 with 17 home runs and 55 RBIs.
[2]
On October 31, 2011, the Blue Jays picked up the $3.5 million club option for the 2012 season.

[
edit
]
In a game against the
Seattle Mariners
on April 28, 2012, Encarnacion hit his fourth career grand slam in the 8th inning leading the Blue Jays to a 7?0 win.
[14]
His grand slam marked the first time that Encarnacion held his arm out in his trademark "chicken-wing" fashion while rounding the bases. This trademark would be known as the "Parrot Walk" which Edwin would do for every home run he would hit from then on. Fans would mimic it in the stands and even flap their arms as though they were the wings of a parrot. It was so popular it generated T-shirts, hats and even toy parrots that fans could attach to their right arm.
[15]
[16]
On April 30, 2012, in a home game against the
Texas Rangers
, Encarnacion hit the first home run off of starter

[18]

[21]

on November 28, 2012. He also received the Most Improved Player award for the Jays.

. Up to the All-Star break, Encarnacion posted a triple-slash of .264/.353/.532 with 25 home runs and 72 RBIs. In the All-Star Game, Encarnacion entered as a pinch-hitter for
David Ortiz
in the seventh inning, and finished the game 0?2. In a game against the
