Juan D'Vaughn Pierre is an outfielder in Major League Baseball who currently plays for the Philadelphia Phillies. He bats and throws left-handed. He is a close friend of fellow Major-Leaguer and former teammate, Dontrelle Willis and the godfather of his three children. Pierre, who was named after Dominican Hall of Fame pitcher Juan Marichal, went to high school at Alexandria Senior High School in Alexandria, Louisiana. Prior to his professional career, he played at Galveston College and the University of South Alabama, where he was 1998 Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year. Pierre began... his professional career with the Portland Rockies of the Northwest League, after being selected by Colorado in the 13th round of the 1998 MLB Draft. He won the league batting and stolen base titles in his first professional season, and was a fan favorite even at that level. Pierre moved on to the Asheville Tourists the following year, again batting well over .300, and began 2000 with the Carolina Mudcats before finishing the year in Colorado.
