Carlos Lee is a major league baseball player, currently playing left field for the Milwaukee Brewers of the National League.
Carlos was signed by the Chicago White Sox on February 8, 1994 as an amateur free agent, and he would remain in the White Sox organization until being traded to the Brewers after the 2004 season. His first major league game came on May 7, 1999.
Carlos was born on June 20, 1976 in Aguadulce, Panama. He bats and throws right-handed, is 6' 2" tall and weighs 235 lb. He graduated from Rodolfo Chiari High School. He is married to Mary with a daughter, Carla Marie. His brother plays professional baseball in the White Sox minor league system.
Carlos is almost exclusively a left fielder. He has been the White Sox's starting left fielder for the first six years of his career, with only a few games a year as the designated hitter.
Carlos can hit for both average and power. In 2001 and 2002, his average slumped to the .260s, however he has returned to exceeding .300, and has a career average of .288. His home run totals have continually increased over the years, and he has hit 31 in each of the last two seasons.
While Carlos has provided steady production, he has not often been amongst the top ten in offensive categories (his best showing being 6th in the American League in RBIs with 113) or received awards for performance.
Originally signed as an amateur free agent, Carlos Lee's salary has grown over the years from the $200,000 salary his first season to last year's $6,500,000 salary.
