Marwin Javier González (born March 14, 1989) is a Venezuelan former professional baseball utility player.

[2] On December 8, 2011, the Boston Red Sox selected González from the Cubs in the Rule 5 draft, and then traded him to the Houston Astros in exchange for pitcher Marco Duarte.

[2] With the Astros on April 2, González broke up a perfect game bid by Yu Darvish of the Texas Rangers with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning.

[6] On August 18, 2015, González went 3-for-4 with a doubled and belted his first career walk-off home run in the bottom of the tenth off All-Star closer Brad Boxberger, giving the Astros a 3–2 win over the Tampa Bay Rays.

[10] In 2017, González had a slash line of .303/.377/.530, while seeing the lowest percentage of fastballs of all MLB hitters (45.7%).

[13] The World Series lasted seven games, and the Astros became MLB champions for the first time in franchise history.

[15] Note that, since bangs indicated an off-speed or breaking pitch, this is to some extent expected for a player who sees fewer fastballs.

[1] Overall, in parts of seven seasons with Houston, González hit 76 home runs and 292 RBIs in 795 games, with a .264 batting average.

[6] On February 25, 2019, González signed a two-year contract worth $21 million with the Minnesota Twins.

[1] On February 24, 2021, González signed a one-year, $3 million contract with the Boston Red Sox.

[20] He made his first-ever pitching appearance in the eighth inning of a game against the Toronto Blue Jays on June 13, in which he allowed no runs to score.

In Game 5 of the Japan Series, González hit a home run off of Hanshin Tigers starter Kotaro Otake.
