David Wright Biography
David Allen Wright is a former professional baseball third baseman who played his entire 14-year Major League Baseball career for the New York Mets. He was drafted by the Mets in 2001 MLB draft and made his MLB debut on July 21, 2004 at Shea Stadium. Wright was nicknamed "Captain America" after his performance in the 2013 World Baseball Classic. In 2020, "The Captain: A Memoir" was published which chronicles Wright's journey from high school star to his World Series home runs for one of the best baseball teams in America, the Mets.
Wright is a seven-time All-Star, a two-time Gold Glove Award winner, a two-time Silver Slugger Award winner and a member of the 30–30 club. He won both MLB.com's Rookie of the Year Award in 2004 and MLB.com's Most Outstanding Play of the Year Award in 2005 in a vote by fans. He holds Mets franchise records for most career runs batted in, doubles, total bases, runs scored, walks, sacrifice flies, times on base, extra base hits, strikeouts, double plays and hits. He was named captain of the Mets in 2013, becoming the fourth captain in the team's history.
Throughout the latter half of Wright's career, he was plagued by injuries, most notably spinal stenosis, as well as additional ailments in his neck and shoulder. Wright announced that 2018 would be his final season as an active player. Wright finished his major league career with a .296 career batting average, 242 home runs, and 970 runs batted in. Upon completion of his playing career, Wright was then named a special advisor in the Mets front office.
