Career



Background


Estevan Florial was born and raised in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. He holds dual-citizenship with Haiti due to his mother being born there. In the first couple of years with the Yankees organization, they mistakenly listed him as being born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, which would have made him a forerunner to become the first Haitian-born Major League player.[1] Florial signed with the New York Yankees under the name Haniel d'Oleo in 2014. However the contract was voided after he was unable to provide a birth certificate and he re-signed with the Yankees under the name, Estevan Florial in 2015.[2] He made his professional debut that season with the Dominican Summer League Yankees 1 where he batted .313 with seven home runs and 53 RBIs in 57 games.


Minor leagues


He played in 2016 with the Pulaski Yankees, Charleston RiverDogs and Tampa Yankees,[3] batting a combined .227 with eight home runs and thirty RBIs in 67 total games among the three teams.

Florial started the 2017 season with Charleston.[4] He was selected to appear in the All-Star Futures Game in July.[5] After batting .297 with 11 home runs, 43 RBIs and 17 stolen bases for Charleston, he was promoted to Tampa in August, where he finished the season[6] slashing .303/.368/.461 with two home runs and 14 RBIs in 19 games.[7] The Yankees promoted him to the Trenton Thunder for their postseason but did not appear in a game.[8]

Florial entered 2018 as one of the top prospects in the minor leagues.[9] Playing for Tampa, he broke the hamate bone in his right wrist in May and required surgery, costing him three months of the season.[10]

In 2019, the Yankees invited Florial to spring training as a non-roster player.[11] He suffered a non-displaced fracture in his right wrist during spring training.[12] He returned to Tampa in June,[13] where he played for the 2019 season.[14]


New York Yankees


Florial was called up to the majors on August 28, 2020.[15] He played in the first game of a doubleheader that same day against the New York Mets, where he got his first MLB hit. At the end of the day he was sent back to the minors.[16]

On July 20, 2021, Florial was called back up to the Yankees to replace the injured Trey Amburgey.[17] He recorded his first major league RBI on a groundout to first base, and later hit his first major league home run; a solo shot off of pitcher Enyel De Los Santos of the Philadelphia Phillies.[18]
