Benjamin Jos� "Bengie" Molina, nicknamed "Big Money", is a former Major League Baseball catcher and currently the first base coach and catching instructor for the Texas Rangers. He is the older brother of major league catchers Jos� Molina and Yadier Molina. Initially regarded as a "good glove, no hit" catcher with a strong arm and an exceptional ball blocker, Molina won a Gold Glove as the top defensive player at his position in consecutive seasons in 2002 and 2003. But he also developed into a very good contact hitter and free-swinging power hitter. Between 2000 and 2007, he struck out just 331 times, and in 2000 led the American League in average at-bats between strikeouts, with 14.3. He is the only player in history to hit a home run and not get credit for the run. However, at 5' 11" and weighing 225 pounds, he was regarded as one of the slowest baserunners of his day.
