Alejandro Alberto De Aza Ceda (born April 4, 1984 in Guaymate, Dominican Republic), is a Major League Baseball centerfielder for the Florida Marlins. He is known for his great speed and defensive skills in centerfield.

Minor-league career

De Aza was originally signed by the Los Angeles Dodgers as a non-drafted free agent on May 1, 2001. The Marlins selected him from the Minor League phase of the Rule 5 Draft in 2004, and he has been with Florida ever since, playing in their minor league system.

In 2005, De Aza batted .286 with 34 stolen bases and 75 runs scored while playing for the Marlins Class A Jupiter affiliate. In 2006, De Aza batted .278 with 12 doubles, two triples, two home runs, 16 RBIs and 27 stolen bases at Double-A.

Major-league career

On March 28, 2007, De Aza was named the starting center fielder for the Florida Marlins, beating out Reggie Abercrombie, Eric Reed, and Alex Sánchez in what was seen as a surprise. He batted .606 (20-for-33) in nine games for the Marlins before going on the disabled list on April 16 with a right ankle sprain; an MRI in mid-May revealed that his ankle had a hairline fracture.
