Biographical Information

Víctor Velázquez has played in the Dominican Republic, Spain and Germany and has been on the Spanish national team.

He hit .214/.475/.214 with 7 walks in 5 games in the 2009 European Junior Championship; mainly playing short, he fielded .815. He also was 0-1 with a 6.00 ERA, losing to France's Quentin Becquey. Only Luca Martone drew more walks in the event. He was signed by Atlanta Braves scout Néstor Pérez Sr. in April 2010. He was 1 for 21 with 3 walks and RBI for the 2010 DSL Braves, though he threw out 50% of those who tried to steal against him as a catcher. The next year, he hit .154/.298/.179 for the same team, throwing out 38% while backing up Carlos Sánchez. That ended his career in the Braves chain.

His whereabouts from 2012-2020 are unclear; he was with the Tenerife Marlins in 2015. The official Spanish stats archive site is under an official warning advisory when you try to access it online (as of this writing, 5/26/26) but it seems highly probable he spent most of this time in Spain's Division de Honor. He did play for Spain in the 2019 Europe/Africa Olympic Qualifier, going 0 for 4 while backing up Blake Ochoa behind the dish. By 2021, he was playing in Germany, hitting .395/.527/.512 for the Dortmund Wanderers. He was 10th in the Bundesliga-1 north in average, tied for 5th in doubles (5), 7th in OBP (between Phildrick Llewellyn and Marco Cardoso) and 4th in putouts (83).

Back in the Bundesliga the next year, he fell to .194/.375/.318. He was third with 11 runners caught stealing, one off the lead, while being 8th in thrown out percentage (28.2). He batted .282/.366/.414 for the Hünstetten Storm in 2023, finishing 6th in runners thrown out (12). He hit .318/.420/.419 as a 3B/C for the '24 Storm. He tied Llewellyn and Moritz van Bergen for 8th in the Bundesliga-1 South in hits (28), was 7th in average (between Billy Germaine and Marlon Jimenez), was 8th in OBP (between Devon Ramirez and Germaine), tied for 4th with 8 errors and led backstops with 7 runners caught stealing despite only playing half his games (roughly) there.
