Career & Net Worth

The professional athlete in the industry had some struggles during his early years.

While he was an outstanding player - an overall outfielder and pitcher - during his high school years, an issue with substance abuse almost thwarted his career. Due to a car accident in 2001, Josh became addicted to alcohol and drugs.

Josh's indulgence with narcotics heavily impacted his minor league career. Dropped after appearing late to practices and games frequently, he decided to take some time off between 2004 and 2006, so he could focus on getting better.

Soon enough, he returned to the minor league and started practicing again. In 2007, the MLB star made his professional debut from the Cincinnati Reds. It was later in 2008 when he finally joined Texas Rangers.

Over the years, the baseball prodigy has bounced around team-to-team, cashing in a total of over $140 million until 2017. Josh's net worth is a whopping $50 million in 2019.

Well, the giant of a man standing at the height of 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and a weight of 108 kg has been added to the Rangers Hall of Fame. As of August 2019, Josh became one of the few recipients to receive the honor.
