Batista entered 2003 following an American League All-Star season with Baltimore. In 2002, he appeared in 161 games, led the Orioles with 31 home runs and drove in 87 runs, earning his second career All-Star selection after previously representing Toronto in 2000.

He continued to provide substantial power and run production during 2003, once again appearing in 161 games. Batista hit 26 home runs and drove in 99 runs, his highest RBI total during his Orioles tenure. Across his first three seasons with Baltimore from 2001 through 2003, he accumulated 82 home runs and 273 RBI.

Batista was one of the most recognizable hitters of his era because of his extraordinarily wide-open batting stance. He paired that unconventional setup with considerable power, recording three seasons with at least 30 home runs. His biggest offensive season came with Toronto in 2000, when he established career highs with 41 home runs and 114 RBI while earning his first All-Star selection.

The two-time American League All-Star finished his 11-year Major League career with 1,146 hits, 221 home runs and 718 RBI.
