About Paulo Orlando

Paulo Roberto Orlando is a Brazilian former professional baseball outfielder. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Kansas City Royals. He represented Brazil at the 2013 World Baseball Classic, and currently serves as the baserunning coach for the Brazil national baseball team. Orlando was discovered and signed by a Cuban scout for the Chicago White Sox in 2005. Three days later, Orlando became the first player in MLB history to record three triples as his first three base hits. On April 20, Orlando hit his fifth triple in his first seven games, establishing a new major league record for "the fewest games to hit five triples to open a career". He became the third Brazilian-born player, and first non-pitcher, to make it to Triple-A when he was promoted to the Omaha Storm Chasers to start 2011.
