Ender Inciarte

Professional Baseball Outfielder

Atlanta Braves

A native of Maracaibo, Venezuela, Ender Inciarte began his career in Major League Baseball in 2008 when he signed as an international free agent with the Arizona Diamondbacks. In 2015, he was traded to the Atlanta Braves where he has since grown into one of the game’s best outfielders, having won three consecutive Gold Glove Awards from 2016-2018, and was named to the NL All-Star team in 2017.

Inciarte comes from a family of baseball players as his father played for the Venezuelan national team and his brother played in the Arizona Diamondbacks Minor League system . Ender is proud to carry on the family legacy as he also represented his home country of Venezuela at the World Baseball Classic in 2017. Ender lost his father 9 years ago to a heart attack and is passionate about giving back to children from similar circumstances.

In 2018 Ender partnered with KRa Sports Drink and After School All-Stars to donate money and sports equipment to keep underprivileged kids in the game in both Atlanta and his home country of Venezuela. The result was thousands of dollars and hundreds of pieces of sports equipment donated to kids in need.
