Joseph Daniel Votto (born September 10, 1983) is a Canadian professional baseball first baseman in the Toronto Blue Jays organization. He has previously played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Cincinnati Reds, for whom he made his MLB debut in 2007. He was the first Canadian MLB player since Larry Walker to have 2,000 hits, 300 home runs and 1,000 career runs batted in (RBI).[1]
Votto is a six-time MLB All-Star, a seven-time Tip O'Neill Award winner, and two-time Lou Marsh Trophy winner as Canada's athlete of the year.[2] In 2010, he won the National League (NL) MVP Award and the NL Hank Aaron Award. Renowned for his plate discipline and ability to get on-base, he was first in career on-base percentage (.427), second in OPS (.957) and walks (1,104), and fourth in batting average (.311) among all active players through the 2018 season.
