Adrián Beltré Pérez (born April 7, 1979), nicknamed "The Captain", is a Dominican professional baseball third baseman for the Texas Rangers of Major League Baseball (MLB). Originally signed as an amateur free agent by the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1994, he made his MLB debut with the Dodgers at age 19, and has since become one of the most all-round accomplished players in history, ranking 13th in defensive Wins Above Replacement and the fourth third baseman to achieve 400 home runs and 1,500 runs batted in. Beltré is a four-time selection for the Silver Slugger Award and MLB All-Star Game, and a five-time winner of the Rawlings Gold Glove Award. He has also played for the Seattle Mariners and Boston Red Sox. He bats and throws right-handed.

Now fewer than 100 hits from reaching 3,000, Beltré is the all-time hits leader among Dominican-born players. The fifth major leaguer to hit at least 100 home runs for three different teams, he has hit at least 20 home runs in 12 different seasons, and in five, driven in at least 100 runs. He hit a major league-leading 48 home runs while playing for the Dodgers in 2004, was the team MVP of the Red Sox in 2010, and led the major leagues in hits in 2011 while playing for the Rangers. Sharing the record as one of four major leaguers to hit for the cycle three times, Beltré is the only one to hit three at the same stadium, Globe Life Park in Arlington. He is the sixth player with a three-home run game in both the regular season and postseason, and just the second with a both a three-home run game and cycle in the same week.
