Raudy Miguel Read Placencia (born October 29, 1993) is a Dominican professional baseball catcher for the Toros de Tijuana of the Mexican League.

[2] In 2013, Read played in the rookie-level Gulf Coast League for the Gulf Coast League Nationals,[3] who that year finished their regular season with a record of 49–9, giving them the highest winning percentage (.845) for a full regular season ever achieved by a minor-league baseball team based in the United States.

[2] Read spent 2014 with the Auburn Doubledays of the Low-A New York-Penn League, appearing in 57 games and hitting .281 with six home runs and 32 RBIs.

[2] He continued to rise through the Washington Nationals's minor-league system, splitting 2015 between the Hagerstown Suns of the Single-A South Atlantic League and the Potomac Nationals of the High-A Carolina League, hitting .244 with five home runs and 36 RBIs in 82 games with the Suns and going 7-for-18 (.389) with two doubles and five RBIs in five games with Potomac.

[10] Better regarded for his right-handed bat and arm strength than for his defense and blocking skills behind the plate, Read was described by Baseball America in 2017 as a team leader with a "take-charge" attitude.

[15] On February 7, 2018, Read became the first rostered player in Washington Nationals team history to be suspended for violating MLB's policy against the use of performance-enhancing drugs.

[19] He split the 2021 season between Washington's rookie-league affiliate, the Single-A Fredericksburg Nationals, and the Triple-A Rochester Red Wings.

On November 8, 2024, Read and Danny Ortiz were traded to the Toros de Tijuana of the Mexican League in exchange for Wendolyn Bautista.

[25] Read is from San José de Ocoa in the southern Dominican Republic, about 70 miles (112 km) from the capital of Santo Domingo.
