Rougned Roberto Odor (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈruɣneð oˈðor]; born February 3, 1994) is a Venezuelan professional baseball second baseman for the Texas Rangers of Major League Baseball (MLB). He played for the team's minor league affiliates from 2011 until he was called up to the MLB team in May 2014.
Odor was born in Maracaibo, Venezuela on February 3, 1994. His first name is a combination of his grandfather's name, Douglas, and his grandmother's name, Nedia; in keeping with the family custom of giving boys names that begin with the letter "R", the "D" in Douglas was changed to an "R", yielding Rougned. He has a sister and a younger brother, Rougned José Odor, who signed with the Texas Rangers on February 19, 2015. His uncle, Rouglas Odor, played for eight seasons with the Minor League teams of Cleveland and Milwaukee, and is now a hitting coach with the Akron RubberDucks.
Odor played in the 2009 World Youth Baseball Championship. He was named to the tournament's all-star team as a second baseman.
Odor signed with the Texas Rangers as an international free agent in 2011, receiving a $425,000 signing bonus. The Rangers aggressively assigned him to the Spokane Indians of the Class A-Short Season Northwest League. He was the youngest player in the Northwest League, and had a .262 batting average on the season. Odor was suspended for four games after starting a brawl during a game with the Vancouver Canadians. In 2012, Odor batted .259 with the Hickory Crawdads of the Class A South Atlantic League.
