Batista joined Toronto from the Arizona Diamondbacks during the 1999 season and immediately supplied the Blue Jays with significant power. In only 98 games with Toronto, he hit 26 home runs with 79 RBI, finishing the full season with 31 home runs and 100 RBI between Arizona and Toronto.

Batista followed that breakout performance with an outstanding 2000 season, establishing career highs with 41 home runs and 114 RBI while scoring 96 runs. His production earned him his first American League All-Star selection and placed him among the leagues leading home run hitters.

Known for his extraordinarily wide-open batting stance, Batista was one of the most instantly recognizable hitters of his era. He later earned a second All-Star selection with the Baltimore Orioles in 2002 and continued to provide significant power during an 11-year Major League career.

Batista finished his MLB career with 1,146 hits, 221 home runs and 718 RBI.
