About Joey Votto

Born Joseph Naiel Votto, he was drafted out of Richview Collegiate Institute in the second round of the 2002 MLB amateur draft by the Cincinnati Reds with the 44th overall selection. Votto didn't make an impact in his first few seasons with the Reds' minor league affiliates.

Votto burst onto the scene in 2004 when he hit 26 doubles, 14 home runs, and held a batting average of .302 with the Dayton Dragons. He was then promoted to Potomac and hit 5 more home runs in 20 games.

Votto was called up by the Reds on September 1, 2007. He made his MLB debut on September 4, 2007. His first MLB at-bat ended with him being struck out by Guillermo Mota. In his second at-bat, Votto hit his first career home run.

Votto's stock has been on the rise ever since he made his MLB debut back in 2007. For the 2010 season he hit .324 with 113 RBIs, and 37 homers as he lead the Reds to their first division title in 15 years.
