Benjamin José "Bengie" Molina (born July 20, 1974,
in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico) is the starting catcher
for the San Francisco Giants of Major League
Baseball. He is the older brother to Jose Molina and
Yadier Molina. After being initially regarded as a
"good glove, no hit" catcher, Molina has developed
into one of the better offensive catchers in
baseball in addition to retaining his solid defense.
However, at 5'11" and weighing 225 pounds, Molina is
regarded as one of the slowest baserunners in the
game.
