His range and defensive positions were excellent but he was prone to poor throws after making fantastic stops.

Alomar's offense was below-average with a .245 career batting average, 13 home runs and 282 RBI in 1,481 games played.

Alomar was a smart and aggressive base-runner compiling 227 stolen bases including a career-high 39 in 1971.

The only postseason at bat of Alomar's career came with the Yankees, during the 1976 American League Championship Series; he was standing on-deck when Chris Chambliss hit the series-winning home run in Game 5.

After retiring, Alomar became a manager both in his homeland and minor leagues, and coached in the majors for the Chicago Cubs, Colorado Rockies and San Diego Padres.
