Ryan Braun Net Worth

As for his major league debut, it came in 2007 when he was named the NL Rookie of the Year. In all of the subsequent seasons, he was voted to the NL All-Star team and earned the NL Outfielder Silver Slugger Award. Being a five-tool player, Braun is appreciated for his ability to hit for power and average, his baserunning speed, as well as his excellent fielding and arm strength. All of these qualities helped him win the National League (NL) Most Valuable Player (MVP) in 2011. In 2012, he went on to become third among all active ballplayers in career slugging percentage, and first among active left fielders in career fielding percentage. Meanwhile, he was suspected of using performance-enhancing drugs and after MLB’s investigation of his case he was suspended as of July 22, 2013, not receiving pay for the remainder of the 2013 season. Away from the troubles on the baseball field, Ryan Braun is spending his free time with his fiancee, Canadian model Larisa Fraser.
