How Old Is Lorenzo Cain?
Lorenzo Cain is 36 years old. He was born on April 13, 1986.
Lorenzo Lamar Cain is a Major League Baseball center fielder for the Milwaukee Brewers. He used to be a member of the Kansas City Royals.
From Tallahassee Community College in Florida, he was picked in the 17th round of the 2004 MLB draft by the Milwaukee Brewers.
Cain made his MLB debut in 2010, and the Brewers moved him to Kansas City along with three other players for pitcher Zack Greinke at the end of the season.
He was in the top ten in the American League in hitting average (.301) and stolen bases four years later (28).
He has received four Wilson Defensive Player of the Year Awards for outfielders and three Fielding Bible Awards for his defensive acrobatics.
In addition, his defensive play helped him win the 2014 American League Championship Series Most Valuable Player Award.
When Lorenzo was four years old, Cain’s father died. Patricia, who raised him and his brother and still works at a printing company in Madison, Florida, raised him and his brother.
Cain, unlike most professional baseball players, did not begin playing until his sophomore year at Madison County High School in Florida.
He just did it because he was not selected for the school basketball team, he claimed. Cain didn’t have a baseball glove at the moment.
Cain was drafted in the 17th round of the 2004 MLB draft by the Milwaukee Brewers out of Tallahassee Community College.
He began his career in 2005 with the Helena Brewers of the Rookie League and the AZL Brewers of the AZL.
He was promoted to the Class A West Virginia Power in 2006, and he was named to the South Atlantic League’s midseason and postseason All-Star teams.
Cain was upgraded to the Brevard County Manatees’ Class A-Advanced squad in 2007.
Cain began the 2008 season at Brevard County before being called up to the Triple-A Nashville Sounds on June 10 to replace Milwaukee’s recalled outfielder Hernán Iribarren.
