Mario Javier Feliciano (born November 20, 1998) is a Puerto Rican professional baseball catcher for the Milwaukee Brewers of Major League Baseball (MLB). He made his MLB debut in 2021.

Career[]

Feliciano was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the second round of the 2016 Major League Baseball draft out of the Carlos Beltran Academy in Florida, Puerto Rico.[1][2] He made his professional debut with the Arizona League Brewers.

Feliciano played 2017 with the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers, batting .265 with 16 RBIs over 29 games, and 2018 with the Arizona League Brewers and Carolina Mudcats, slashing .251/.320/.331 with four home runs and 36 RBIs in 104 games. He played in only 46 games during the 2018 season, hitting .213 with three home runs, and only two games in the Arizona Fall League due to a shoulder injury.[3] He started 2019 with Carolina.

He did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the Minor League Baseball season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[4] The Brewers added Feliciano to their 40-man roster after the 2020 season.[5]

On May 1, 2021, Feliciano was promoted to the major leagues for the first time.[6] He made his MLB debut that night as a pinch hitter, drawing a walk against Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Alex Vesia in the bottom of the 11th inning. Feliciano scored the game-winning run later that inning, his first MLB run scored.
