A Venezuelan professional baseball player for the San Francisco Giants of Major League Baseball. In the first game of 2012 World Series, Sandoval hit three home runs, and in doing so, he joined Babe Ruth, Reggie Jackson, and Albert Pujols as the only players in MLB history to hit three home runs in a World Series game.

Sandoval is 5 foot 11 inch tall, 240-pound switch hitter. He was born left handed, but did not want to have to play outfield for all his career. He therefore taught himself to throw right handed as well. He can still throw with both hands, but throws right hand during games.
