Luis Bienvenido Pujols Toribio (born November 18, 1955) is a Dominican former professional baseball player coach and manager. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a catcher from 1977 to 1985, most prominently as a member of the Houston Astros where he helped the franchise win its first-ever National League Western Division title and postseason berth in 1980. He also played for the Kansas City Royals and the Texas Rangers.[1] Although Pujols didn't produce impressive offensive statistics, he excelled defensively which enabled him to sustain a nine-year career as a back-up catcher.
After his playing career, Pujols served as a major league coach before being named the interim manager for the Detroit Tigers in 2002. He later became a minor league manager for the Astros and the Baltimore Orioles.[2] Pujols is the cousin of St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols.[3]
