**Tomás Roberto Silverio Veloz** (October 14, 1945 – April 2, 2011) was a Dominican professional [baseball](/source/Baseball) player who had a 17-year career in [organized baseball](/source/Organized_baseball). The [outfielder](/source/Outfielder) and native of [Santiago de los Caballeros](/source/Santiago_de_los_Caballeros) appeared in 31 [games played](/source/Games_played) over parts of three [Major League Baseball](/source/Major_League_Baseball) seasons for the [California Angels](/source/Los_Angeles_Angels_of_Anaheim) from 1970 to 1972. He threw and batted left-handed and was listed as 5 feet 10 inches (1.78 m) tall and 170 pounds (77 kg).
