Chito Martínez

Chito Martínez (born December 19, 1965) was the first player in the history of Major League Baseball to be born in the country of Belize.

Martínez, born in Belize City, spent parts of three seasons with the Baltimore Orioles, hitting 13 home runs in his rookie season, 1991 and posting a slugging percentage of .514 in 216 at bats. It would be the high point of his career. After his power dropped dramatically in 1992, Martínez quickly faded away, appearing in a mere 8 games in 1993 before disappearing altogether from the major leagues.
