Jose Siri is a 31-year-old Dominican outfielder who has carved out a big-league career by doing two things well: running and hitting the ball hard when he connects. Born in Sabana Grande de Boya, he debuted in MLB on September 3, 2021, and has since suited up for Tampa Bay, New York, and Los Angeles — three very different stops that tell the full story of a player still chasing consistency.

Background
Siri followed the path of many Dominican prospects: academies, the minor-league grind, and plenty of patience before getting his shot. When he finally arrived in the majors, he brought a reputation as a dangerous baserunner with a strong arm in center field. The offensive consistency, though, has been the ongoing challenge of his career.
Professional Career
His best season to date came in 2024 with the Tampa Bay Rays: a .187 batting average paired with 18 home runs, 47 RBI, 50 runs scored, and 14 stolen bases — all with an OPS of .621. The numbers capture exactly who Siri is: real power, real speed, and real contact issues. Still, 18 homers and 14 steals in the same season is a combination not every outfielder can offer.
The 2025 season with the New York Mets was one to forget. He slashed just .063 with 0 home runs, 1 RBI, and an OPS of .292. A difficult stretch that pushed him toward a fresh start on the West Coast.
With the Los Angeles Angels in 2026, Siri looks like a different hitter. Through his time there, he’s batting .255 with 5 home runs, 18 RBI, 21 runs scored, and an OPS of .750. The legs are still there (2 steals), and the bat is trending in the right direction.
Career Stats at a Glance
- 2026 — Los Angeles Angels: .255 AVG | 5 HR | 18 RBI | 21 R | .750 OPS | 2 SB
- 2025 — New York Mets: .063 AVG | 0 HR | 1 RBI | 7 R | .292 OPS | 2 SB
- 2024 — Tampa Bay Rays: .187 AVG | 18 HR | 47 RBI | 50 R | .621 OPS | 14 SB
Awards and Recognition
Siri hasn’t collected Silver Sluggers, MVP votes, or All-Star nods. His value has always lived in the details — a stolen base at the right moment, a wall-clearing homer that swings momentum, a route run in center that saves a run. Staying on big-league rosters for competitive organizations is its own kind of achievement, and Siri has managed it through defense, athleticism, and the kind of upside that keeps coaches interested.
Worth Knowing
Even when his average dips, Siri is a handful once he reaches base. His 14 stolen bases in 2024 ranked among the team leaders on Tampa Bay, a reminder that in today’s game, speed is a weapon even when the bat goes quiet. He’s the type of player who can flip a game with a smart read or a stolen base in a tight spot — and that’s the kind of value that doesn’t always show up in a slash line.
