Ronny Henriquez Bio
Ronny Henriquez is a Dominican professional baseball pitcher for the Miami Marlins of Major League Baseball (MLB). He has previously played in MLB for the Minnesota Twins. Henriquez began his professional career in 2018 and has shown significant potential with notable performances across multiple minor league affiliates. He made his MLB debut in 2022 and continues to establish himself in the major leagues as a relief pitcher.
Early Life and Background
Ronny Henriquez was born on June 20, 2000, and grew up in the Dominican Republic, a country that has produced a long line of Major League Baseball talent. The Dominican Republic remains one of the most fertile regions in the world for baseball prospects, and Henriquez entered the sport through the international free agent pathway that has launched the careers of many of his compatriots. Public information about his childhood, schooling, and family life is limited, and most documented details of his life begin with his entry into professional baseball as a teenager.
Path to Baseball
Henriquez signed with the Texas Rangers as an international free agent on July 3, 2017, for a $10,000 signing bonus. He made his professional debut the following year with the DSL Rangers of the Rookie-level Dominican Summer League, where he immediately impressed by going 5–0 with a 1.55 ERA and 79 strikeouts over 58 innings. In 2019, he moved to the United States and pitched for the Hickory Crawdads of the Single-A South Atlantic League, posting a 6–6 record with a 4.55 ERA and 99 strikeouts over 82 innings. After missing the canceled 2020 minor league season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he returned to Hickory in 2021 before earning a midseason promotion to the Frisco RoughRiders of the Double-A Central, where his strong performance led the Rangers to add him to their 40-man roster that November to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.
Ronny Henriquez Career
Early Career (2018–2021)
Henriquez’s early professional years were spent moving steadily through the Texas Rangers’ farm system. His debut season in the Dominican Summer League established him as a strikeout pitcher with excellent command, while his first year in the United States showed he could handle the more competitive Single-A level. The 2020 cancellation halted his development for a full year, but he returned in 2021 to log time at both High-A and Double-A, finishing the year with the Rangers protecting him on the 40-man roster as a sign of organizational confidence.
Minnesota Twins Era (2022–2024)
On March 12, 2022, Texas traded Henriquez and Isiah Kiner-Falefa to the Minnesota Twins in exchange for Mitch Garver. He was assigned to the Triple-A St. Paul Saints to open the year and posted a 5.66 ERA with 106 strikeouts in 95 and one-third innings. On September 18, 2022, he was promoted to the major leagues and made three appearances for Minnesota, finishing with a 2.31 ERA and nine strikeouts across 11 and two-thirds innings. In 2023, Henriquez spent most of the year back in Triple-A St. Paul as a reliever, going 5–3 with a 5.68 ERA, and he was non-tendered by the Twins in November before re-signing on a minor league deal. He returned to the majors on April 22, 2024, and over 16 appearances posted a 1–1 record and a 3.26 ERA before being designated for assignment on February 7, 2025.
Miami Marlins Era (2025–Present)
On February 11, 2025, Henriquez was claimed off waivers by the Miami Marlins and joined their bullpen. He made 69 appearances out of the bullpen, compiling a 7–1 record and a 2.22 ERA with 98 strikeouts and seven saves across 73 innings pitched, emerging as a reliable late-inning option. His strong season was interrupted when, on December 22, 2025, he underwent UCL reconstruction with an internal brace surgery and was ruled out for the entirety of the 2026 season.
Notable Events and Milestones
Henriquez reached the major leagues for the first time on September 18, 2022, and recorded a 2.31 ERA in his initial three appearances for the Twins. His 2025 campaign with the Marlins represented his most extensive major league workload to date, with 69 appearances and seven saves, before the December announcement of elbow surgery placed his 2026 season on hold.
