Batista entered the 2000 season after a breakout 1999 campaign in which he combined for 31 home runs and 100 RBI between Arizona and Toronto. After joining the Blue Jays during the 1999 season, his right-handed power quickly became an important part of the Toronto lineup.

Batista blasted a career-high 41 home runs with 114 RBI, scored 96 runs and earned his first American League All-Star selection. His 41 homers placed him among the American Leagues leading power hitters and established him as one of Torontos primary run producers.

Batista later earned a second All-Star selection with the Baltimore Orioles in 2002. Known for his unmistakable wide-open batting stance, he played 11 Major League seasons with the Oakland Athletics, Arizona Diamondbacks, Blue Jays, Orioles, Montreal Expos, Washington Nationals and Minnesota Twins.
