Professional career (1992–2014)

edit

Draft and Minor Leagues (1992–96)

edit

Ibañez was selected by the Seattle Mariners in the 36th round of the 1992 Major League Baseball draft. Ibañez played as a catcher and outfielder at various levels in the Mariners minor league organization. He began his professional career with the rookie-level AZL Mariners in 1992. Ibañez batted .308 with 37 hits, 8 doubles, 2 triples, 1 home run, and 16 RBIs in 33 games that season. The next season, 1993, Ibañez split the season between the Class-A Short-Season Bellingham Mariners, and the Class-A Appleton Foxes.

Seattle Mariners (1996–2000)

edit

On August 1, 1996, after being called up from the minor leagues, Ibañez made his first major league appearance against the Milwaukee Brewers.[7] That season, Ibañez appeared in four games and went hitless.[8] In 1997, Ibañez began the season in the minor leagues with the Triple-A Tacoma Rainiers. He batted .304 with 133 hits, 30 doubles, 3 triples, 15 home runs, 82 RBIs in 111 games. On August 10, Ibañez made his first appearance of the season in the majors against the Chicago White Sox.[9] He got his first major league hit, a triple, on August 16 against White Sox's pitcher Doug Drabek.[10] On September 27, Ibañez hit his first major league home run against the Oakland Athletics' pitcher Mike Oquist.[11] After 11 games in the majors, Ibañez batted .154 with 4 hits, 1 triple, 1 home run, and 4 RBIs.[12]

Ibañez started the 1998 season with the Triple-A Rainiers and batted .216 with 41 hits, 8 doubles, 1 triple, 6 home runs, and 25 RBIs in 52 games. Ibañez was called up in August to the majors and batted .255 with 25 hits, 7 doubles, 1 triple, 2 home runs, and 12 RBIs in 37 games.[13] Ibañez played the majority of the 1999 season with the Mariners, however, he did spend 8 games with the Triple-A Tacoma Rainiers and batted .335 with 11 hits. In 1999 with the Mariners, Ibañez batted .254 with 54 hits, 7 doubles, 9 home runs, and 27 RBIs in 87 games.[14] Ibañez hit the first grand slam home run in Safeco Field history, at the park's third-ever game.[15] In 2000, Ibañez again split the season between the Mariners and the Triple-A Rainiers. With the Rainiers, Ibañez batted .250 with 10 hits, 4 doubles, and 6 home runs in 10 games.[16] Ibañez appeared in 92 regular season games with the Mariners in 2000. He batted .229 with 32 hits, 8 doubles, 2 home runs, and 15 RBIs.[17] Ibañez appeared in three games in the 2000 American League Division Series and in 8 at-bats got 3 hits.[18] During the next round of the playoffs, the 2000 American League Championship Series, Ibañez appeared in six games and went hitless. He became a free agent after the season.[19]

Kansas City Royals (2001–03)

edit

Ibañez was signed by the Kansas City Royals as a free agent before the 2001 season. In 2001 with the Royals, Ibañez batted .280 with 78 hits, 11 doubles, 5 triples, 13 home runs, and 54 RBIs in 104 games. He also played with the Triple-A Omaha Royals for 8 games and batted .148 with 4 hits.[20] The next season, 2002, Ibañez played the entire season in the majors for the first time in his career. On June 9, Ibañez hit a walk-off home run against St. Louis Cardinals' pitcher Mike Timlin to give the Royals a three-to-two win.[21] On June 26, Ibañez hit a double, triple, and a home run in the same game against the Detroit Tigers.[22] About the opportunity to play everyday, Ibañez said this:

[During my career], my confidence sometimes wavered because I wasn't playing as much. I put a lot of pressure on myself to perform. But I knew if I got an opportunity to play consistently then I would be able to perform.

— Raúl Ibañez, MLB.com: August 6, 2002[23]

At the end of 2002, Ibañez batted .294 with 146 hits, 37 doubles, 6 triples, 24 home runs, and 103 RBIs in 137 games. His 6 triples stood as his career high. Ibañez was second on the team in doubles, and RBIs; and was tied for second in triples, and home runs.[24] Ibañez received the Joe Burke Special Achievement Award as voted upon by the Kansas City, Missouri chapter of the Baseball Writers' Association of America.[25] Before the start of the 2003 season, Ibañez filed for salary arbitration.[26] The Royals avoided arbitration hearings with Ibañez after he accepted their one-year $3 million contract offer.[27] In 157 games with the Royals, Ibañez batted .294 with 179 hits, 33 doubles, 5 triples, 18 home runs, and 90 RBIs.

Second stint with Mariners (2004–08)

edit

After three seasons with the Royals, Ibañez returned to Seattle in 2004 and had a career-high .304 batting average. He also collected a 24-game go-ahead RBI string, matched a club record by reaching base 11 consecutive times, set a career-high and a club record and matched the American League record with six hits, and joined Ichiro Suzuki as only Mariners ever with two five-hit games in one season. He also ranked third among qualifying big league left fielders in UZR, an all-inclusive fielding statistic.[28]

With Edgar Martínez retired, Ibañez moved to the DH spot before the 2005 season. In 2005, Ibañez hit .280 with 20 home runs and 89 RBIs. The Mariners acquired the switch hitting designated hitter Carl Everett from the Chicago White Sox during the 2005 offseason, forcing Ibañez to move back to where he played before, namely left field.[29] Ibañez enjoyed his most productive season with the Mariners in 2006, when he collected career-highs in home runs (33), RBIs (123), doubles (33) and triples (5), and hit .289 with 103 runs.[30] In 2007, the Mariners acquired José Vidro to assume the role of DH. Ibañez moved back out to left field and posted a .291 batting average with 21 home runs, 105 RBI, 80 runs and 35 doubles in 149 games.[31] Ibañez hit 12 home runs and 55 RBIs with a .321 batting average in the second half of the 2008 season. He finished the season with a .293 batting average, 23 home runs, 110 RBI, 85 runs and a career-high 43 doubles by playing 162 games that year.[32]

Philadelphia Phillies (2009–11)

edit

On December 16, 2008, Ibañez signed a 3-year, $31.5 million deal with the Philadelphia Phillies.[33] On April 9, 2009, Ibañez hit his first home run as a member of the Phillies, a deep, two-run shot to right field at Citizens Bank Park.[34] Ten days later, on April 19, he hit a 2-run, walk-off home run to help the Phillies defeat the San Diego Padres. He hit his eighth career grand slam on April 27 as part of an eighth-inning comeback to help defeat the Washington Nationals at Citizens Bank Park.[35]

In voting for the 2009 All Star Game, Ibañez received the second-most votes for a NL outfielder with 4,053,355, trailing only the Brewers' Ryan Braun (4,138,559).[36] In the World Series, he batted .304 with four doubles, a home run and four RBI. In 134 regular season games, the 37-year-old Ibañez hit .272 with 32 doubles, 93 runs and 93 RBI. He posted career-highs in home runs (34), slugging percentage (.552), and OPS (.899). He had a .991 fielding percentage with two errors in 129 games in left field. He also ranked fourth among qualifying big league left fielders in UZR.[37] Ibanez was the left fielder in Roy Halladay's perfect game on May 29, 2010.[38]

 
Ibañez with the Phillies in 2011

During the 2010 season, Ibañez played in 155 games with a .275 average, 37 doubles, 16 home runs, and 83 RBI.[39] In 2011, on defense he had the lowest range factor of all major league left fielders, at 1.60.[40] He played 144 games with a .245 average, 31 doubles, 20 home runs, and 84 RBI.

New York Yankees (2012)

edit

On February 20, 2012, Ibañez agreed to a contract worth $1.1 million with the New York Yankees.[41] The deal was made official one day later.[42] Ibañez struggled during spring training.[43] When Brett Gardner suffered an injury in April, Ibañez saw increased playing time in left field against right-handed pitchers.[44] On September 22, Ibañez hit a game-tying home run in the 13th inning of a game against the Oakland Athletics.[45] In the second to last game of the regular season, Ibañez hit a pinch hit home run in the ninth inning and a game-winning RBI single in the 12th inning to keep the Yankees one game ahead of the Baltimore Orioles in the division.[46] During the regular season, Ibañez appeared in 130 games, hitting .240 with 19 home runs and 62 RBI.[47]

In Game 3 of the 2012 American League Division Series against the Orioles, Ibañez pinch hit for Alex Rodriguez and hit home runs in consecutive at bats. He hit the first home run off of Jim Johnson to tie the game 2–2 in the bottom of the 9th inning; the second one came off of Brian Matusz in the bottom of the 12th—a walk-off home run to give the Yankees a 3–2 victory and a two-games-to-one series advantage. The pinch-hit performance set several major league records: he became the first player in major league history to hit two home runs in a postseason game he did not start;[48] the first to hit two home runs in the 9th inning or later of a postseason game;[49] the oldest player to hit a postseason walk-off home run;[49] and the oldest player to hit two home runs in a postseason game.[49]

Two days later in the deciding game 5 against the Orioles, Ibañez ended a scoreless tie with a single in the bottom of the 5th inning. The Yankees would rally around Ibañez, and win the game 3–1 and win the series. The next day, Ibañez once again hit a game-tying home run in the bottom of the 9th inning, this time in Game 1 of the 2012 American League Championship Series against the Detroit Tigers, becoming the first player ever to hit 3 home runs in the 9th inning or later in a single postseason. Despite the Yankees losing the series to the Tigers, Ibañez became a beloved New York sports figure.[50]

Third stint with Mariners (2013)

edit

On December 22, 2012, Ibañez agreed to a one-year deal worth $2.75 million with Seattle. The deal was made official four days later.[51] Ibañez hit .158 in April, but rebounded in May by batting .297 with 7 home runs and 17 RBI.[52] On July 2, he hit his 20th home run of the season, becoming the oldest player in major league history to hit 20 home run before the All-Star break.[53] On September 21, Ibañez hit his 29th home run, the 300th of his career and tying Ted Williams for most home runs in a season by anyone 40 or older.[54] After the season, Ibañez was honored with the Hutch Award.[55] During the 2013 season, Ibañez batted .242 with 29 home runs and 65 RBI in 124 games played.

Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (2014)

edit

On December 27, 2013, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and Ibañez officially agreed to terms on a one-year contract.[56][57] On June 21, the Angels released Ibañez.[58] In 57 games with the Angels, Ibañez hit .157 with 3 home runs and 21 RBIs.

Second stint with the Royals (2014)

edit

On June 30, the Kansas City Royals signed Ibañez.[59] On July 2, he hit his first home run of the season.[60]

With the team struggling with a 48–50 win–loss record on July 21, following comments by manager Ned Yost that the team needed to improve its play, Ibañez led a players-only meeting, which players including Eric Hosmer and Lorenzo Cain credited with turning around the attitudes of the players. The Royals then won 24 of their next 30, secured a wild card berth, swept the Oakland A's, Los Angeles Angels and Baltimore Orioles in the playoffs and reached the 2014 World Series, losing to the San Francisco Giants.[61] Ibañez was not on the Royals' postseason roster, except for the Wild Card Game, in which he did not appear.

Having interviewed for Tampa Bay's managerial position vacated by Joe Maddon, the club named Ibañez as one of three finalists on November 21, 2014. He had not yet officially retired as a player at the time.[62]

Post-playing career

edit

On February 2, 2016, Ibañez was hired by the Los Angeles Dodgers as a special assistant to the President of Baseball Operations, Andrew Friedman.[63] In April 2016, ESPN hired Ibañez as an analyst.[64] Ibañez also appeared on ESPN Deportes.

In 2021, Ibañez and Michael Hill were named Major League Baseball's senior vice presidents of on-field operations, with responsibility for overseeing umpiring, discipline, and other on-field issues.[65] In 2024, he left that role to return to the Dodgers as vice president of baseball development and special projects.[66]

Ibañez served as the bench coach for the American League team in the 2024 All-Star Futures Game.[67]

Personal life

edit

Ibañez is also of Spanish descent, through his grandparents. He turned down an offer to play for the Spain national baseball team.[68]

Ibañez and his wife Teryvette have two sons and three daughters.[69]

In the 2009 offseason, Ibañez discovered he had allergies to gluten and dairy and went on a special diet, for which he had meals delivered from Philadelphia, even while on the road.[70]

In a poll of 290 Major League players by Sports Illustrated, Ibañez was voted the second nicest major league player, after Jim Thome.[71]
