He has played in [[Major League Baseball]] (MLB) for the [[Atlanta Braves]], [[Los Angeles Dodgers]], [[New York Yankees]], [[Chicago White Sox]], [[Kansas City Royals]], [[Detroit Tigers]] and [[Baltimore Orioles]].

==Career==
Betemit is a 1996 graduate of Jurczak High School, where he played baseball.  He was signed as an undrafted [[free agent]] [[shortstop]] by the [[Atlanta Braves]] on July 28, 1996, when he was 14 and a half years old. According to Major League Baseball's age restrictions regarding the signing of minors, teams are not allowed to sign anyone under the age of sixteen. Because of this rule violation, the Braves were fined $100,000 and prohibited from scouting and signing players from the Dominican Republic for six months in 2000.<ref>{{cite web|last=Zack|first=Bill|date=February 29, 2000|title=Betemit seeking to become free agent|url=http://old.savannahnow.com/stories/022900/SPTbravesnotes.shtml|access-date=June 19, 2014|newspaper=[[Savannah Morning News]]}} {{Dead link|date=August 2021}}</ref>

===Atlanta Braves===
Betemit began his professional career in 1997 with the [[Gulf Coast Braves]]. In 1999, he was the Player of the Year for the [[Danville Braves]] of the Rookie League, and [[Appalachian League]] All-Star shortstop after batting .320 in 67 games, though he made 33 errors in 67 games. In 2000, with the [[Jamestown Jammers]], he hit .331 and was named the Braves' # 1 Minor League Prospect by ''[[Baseball America]]'', as well as the Short-Season A Player of the Year and All-Star shortstop.{{cn|date=September 2023}}

Betemit started 2001 with the [[Myrtle Beach Pelicans]] in Advanced-A ball (hitting the first inside-the-park home run in Pelicans history on June 11), and was promoted mid-season to the [[Greenville Braves]] in AA. He hit .355 with Greenville, and was named the Braves top prospect for the second year in a row. He was also the Braves Minor League Player of the Year, the [[Florida State League]] All-Star shortstop, and the ''Baseball America'' 2nd team minor league all-star shortstop.{{cn|date=September 2023}}

Called up to the Braves in September, he made his major league debut on September 18, 2001, as a [[pinch runner]] against the [[Philadelphia Phillies]]. He was 0 for 8 for the Braves in limited [[Pinch hitter|pinch hitting]] opportunities. In 2002, he was sent to the AAA [[Richmond Braves]] to start the season, but spent significant portions of the season on the [[disabled list]] due to various ailments. Despite a sub-par, injury-ridden season, he was still named the Braves second-best pro prospect after the season He spent most of 2003 and 2004 with Richmond, but appeared in 22 games with the Braves in 2004, recording his first Major League [[Hit (baseball)|hit]] on May 8 against the [[Houston Astros]].{{cn|date=September 2023}}

In 2005 as the Braves' principal reserve infielder, Betemit frequently filled in at [[third base]] for the Braves' oft-injured star third baseman [[Chipper Jones]], hitting .305 for the season. He hit his first career [[home run]] on April 27 against [[New York Mets]] [[pitcher]] [[Tom Glavine]]. In the offseason, following shortstop [[Rafael Furcal]]'s free agency in the winter of 2005, the Braves considered giving Betemit the starting shortstop job. However, they decided instead to trade for shortstop [[Edgar Rentería]] from the [[Boston Red Sox]]. Betemit continued to play a valuable role for the Braves as a pinch hitter and backup for [[second baseman]] [[Marcus Giles]], Rentería, and Chipper Jones.{{cn|date=September 2023}}

===Los Angeles Dodgers===
On July 28, 2006, Betemit was traded to the [[Los Angeles Dodgers]] for [[relief pitcher]] [[Danys Baez]] and infielder [[Willy Aybar]].<ref>{{cite news|date=July 28, 2006|title='Pen's mightier: Braves get Dodgers' Baez for Betemit|website=[[ESPN]]|agency=[[Associated Press]]|url=https://www.espn.com/mlb/news/story?id=2533245|url-status=live|access-date=February 6, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140223215545/http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2533245|archive-date=February 23, 2014}}</ref> He made his debut for the Dodgers on July 30, 2006, playing third base against the [[Washington Nationals]]. He finished the season with a batting average of .241 with nine home runs and 24 RBIs.

He was expected to be the Dodgers starting third baseman in 2007, but poor play resulted in his becoming a part-time starter and pinch hitter. He hit pinch hit home runs in consecutive games against the Braves in May 2007. He hit 10 home runs and 26 RBIs in 84 games.

===New York Yankees===
On July 31, 2007, the Dodgers traded Betemit to the [[New York Yankees]] for relief pitcher [[Scott Proctor]].<ref>{{cite news|date=July 31, 2007|title=Yankees get infielder Betemit for reliever Proctor|website=[[ESPN]]|agency=[[Associated Press]]|url=https://www.espn.com/mlb/news/story?id=2955753|url-status=live|access-date=October 7, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110726014328/http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2955753|archive-date=July 26, 2011}}</ref> On August 2, 2007, Betemit homered in his first Yankee [[at bat]] while filling in at shortstop for Derek Jeter and was given a curtain call by the fans in attendance.<ref>{{cite news|last=Freeman|first=Rick|date=August 2, 2007|title=White Sox 13, Yankees 9|work=[[USA Today]]|publisher=[[Associated Press]]|url=https://www.usatoday.com/sports/baseball/2007-08-01-2087759766_x.htm|access-date=October 7, 2011}}</ref> On May 9, 2008, Betemit was the victim of [[Detroit Tigers]] pitcher [[Kenny Rogers (baseball)|Kenny Rogers']] record setting 92nd career pickoff.<ref>{{cite news|date=May 9, 2008|title=Rogers, Pudge help Tigers edge Yankees|website=[[ESPN]]|agency=[[Associated Press]]|url=http://espn.go.com/mlb/recap?gameId=280509106|url-status=dead|access-date=February 6, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140223234630/http://espn.go.com/mlb/recap?gameId=280509106|archive-date=February 23, 2014}}</ref>

==Pronunciation of last name==
The pronunciation of Betemit's last name has been debated by baseball broadcasters and fans. Betemit has stated that he pronounces his name the way it is pronounced in his native Dominican Republic, i.e. "Bay-tah-mee", not "Bet-eh-mitt" ("the 't' is silent," he explains).<ref name=":1">{{cite web|last=Young|first=Geoff|date=August 22, 2006|title=Tuesday Open Thread|url=http://ducksnorts.com/blog/2006/08/tuesday-open-thread.html|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081002143724/http://ducksnorts.com/blog/2006/08/tuesday-open-thread.html|archive-date=October 2, 2008|access-date=March 27, 2014|website=Ducksnorts}}</ref> However, Betemit has also said that he does not especially care that many American baseball broadcasters have "Americanized" his name by pronouncing the "t".<ref name=":1" />

In an interview in 2006, Atlanta Braves announcer Joe Simpson relayed that he had asked Betemit about halfway through that season how to pronounce his name, and when told the answer, apologized to him, saying, "I've been pronouncing your name wrong all this time, but I'm gonna pronounce it right from now on!"{{citation needed|date=August 2014}}

==Date of birth==
There was some confusion surrounding Betemit's date of birth.
