Aldrem Corredor

Aldrem Steven Corredor (born October 27, 1995) is a Venezuelan professional baseball first baseman and outfielder who is a free agent.
Corredor agreed to a minor league contract with the Washington Nationals in August 2012 as an international free agent out of Venezuela at the age of 16. Signed as an outfielder, he was described by the team as a player capable of handling both left and right field. During his first four seasons in the Nationals farm system, playing rookie ball with the Dominican Summer League Nationals and Gulf Coast League Nationals, Corredor also saw playing time at first base and in center field. During a June 25, 2013, game against the Dominican Summer League Brewers, from the sixth inning onward, Corredor shifted to third base—a very unusual position for a left-handed fielder to play—after third baseman Neivy Pilier exited the game due to an injury. He converted his only chance during three innings as a left-handed third baseman, earning an assist and committing no errors. From 2015 onward, Corredor began seeing more playing time at first base than in the outfield.
Baseball America described Corredor as a "big-bodied" player at the time he was signed by the Nationals but noted he was in better shape heading into the 2013 season. While The Washington Post characterized him in 2012 as a "power hitter", Corredor hit just four home runs through his first four years in rookie ball, although since 2015, both his batting average and slugging percentage have trended markedly upward. With the Class-A Hagerstown Suns of the South Atlantic League, he was named an SAL All-Star in 2017 and led the Northern Division in the June 20 All-Star Game by going 2-for-3 with two runs batted in.
