Bio/Historical NoteSliding mitt used by Starling Marte during the 2016 season. Marte is originally from the Dominican Republic and made his major league debut in 2012. In 2016, his continued excellent production made him an All-Star for the first time. He was not on the initial list of players named to the team, instead finding his name on the ballot for the Final Man Vote, but he was later named as a replacement for an injured Yoennis Cespedes and got to play in the game at Petco Park in San Diego, CA. A few days later, he was the hero in an 18-inning win over the Washington Nationals, when he homered off Oliver Perez to give Pittsburgh a 2-1 victory.
