Christian Rafael Vázquez (born August 21, 1990) is a Puerto Rican professional baseball catcher for the Minnesota Twins of Major League Baseball (MLB). He has previously played in MLB for the Boston Red Sox and Houston Astros.
Listed at 5 feet 9 inches (1.75 m) and 195 pounds (88 kg), he both bats and throws right-handed. Vázquez has drawn accolades for his powerful throwing arm and credits his development as a catcher in part to the Molina brothers (Yadier, Jose, and Bengie), who have all played Major League Baseball.
Vázquez made his MLB debut July 9, 2014, for the Boston Red Sox.
