Raúl Ramón Mondesí Avelino (born March 12, 1971 in San Cristóbal, Dominican Republic) is a former Major League Baseball player. He was the National League Rookie of the Year in 1994 as a right fielder for the Los Angeles Dodgers. He was also awarded a Gold Glove Award in 1995 and 1997 as an outfielder.
Throughout his career, Mondesí exhibited obvious physical gifts of speed, power and a rocket arm (one of the best in baseball history, often compared favorably with that of Roberto Clemente), which were offset by poor plate discipline and attitude issues. Despite his sometimes surly behavior, Mondesi would always hustle and would usually do a "big turn" at first base even when he had no chance of obtaining a double. He seemed most at home when in the field, where his dead run into "belly buster" dives were a favorite of Dodger Stadium fans.
After beginning his major league career on July 19, 1993 with the Dodgers, for whom he played during seven seasons, Mondesí played for the Toronto Blue Jays, New York Yankees, Arizona Diamondbacks, Pittsburgh Pirates, Anaheim Angels, and Atlanta Braves.
