'''Fred Eloy Manrique Reyes'''<ref>{{family name hatnote|Manrique|Reyes|lang=Spanish}}</ref> [man-RE-keh] (born November 5, 1961) is a Venezuelan former [Major League Baseball](/source/Major_League_Baseball) [second baseman](/source/second_baseman) who played for the [Toronto Blue Jays](/source/Toronto_Blue_Jays) (1981, 1984), [Montreal Expos](/source/Montreal_Expos) (1985), [St. Louis Cardinals](/source/St._Louis_Cardinals) (1986), [Chicago White Sox](/source/Chicago_White_Sox) (1987–89), [Texas Rangers](/source/Texas_Rangers_(baseball)) (1989), [Minnesota Twins](/source/Minnesota_Twins) (1990) and [Oakland Athletics](/source/Oakland_Athletics) (1991). He batted and threw right-handed.

A native of [Bolívar State](/source/Bol%C3%ADvar_State_(Venezuela)), [Venezuela](/source/Venezuela), and the youngest of 10 children, the well-traveled Manrique was a solid second baseman with a good range and a strong throwing arm that allowed him to play deep and steal [hits](/source/Hit_(baseball)). He also was an above-average [shortstop](/source/shortstop). When he debuted in the Major Leagues in 1981 as a 19-year-old, he was the youngest player in the Major Leagues.

In a nine-year career, Manrique was a .254 hitter with 20 [home run](/source/home_run)s and 151 [RBI](/source/runs_batted_in) in 498 [games](/source/games_played).
