Pablo is the younger son of Pablo Sr., and his wife Amelia Sandoval, who live in Valencia, Venezuela, owning a mechanical-engineering firm. From an early age, Pablo became fond of baseball, and admired such players as Omar Vizquel, and Andrés Galarraga. Primarily a lefthander, Pablo learned how to throw right-hand, and throughout his career used his right hand to throw.
He first came in touch with professional baseball in 2002, when he played in a scouting tournament held in the Dominican Republic. Soon a Texas Rangers scout told young Sandoval that he would sign him when he came to Venezuela, but the scout never showed up. Nevertheless, Pablo didn’t wait long for a new chance, as Ciro Villalobos of the San Francisco Giants offered Pablo a contract, and in no time, Sandoval became a new member of the Giants. He net worth had a base.
Pablo spent several years in the minors, improving his game with every new season, until in 2008 he was brought up to the major league. However, his performance wasn’t great, and he only played in 41 games and had 24 RBI. The following year, he was made starting third baseman, and Pablo used every chance he got. He played in 153 games, scored 25 home runs and had 90 RBI.
Furthermore, he was the second-best hitter with a .330 batting average, behind Hanley Ramirez. Unfortunately, in 2010, Pablo’s numbers drastically declined, and in 152 games he had only 13 home runs, 63 RBI and a batting average of .268. Nevertheless, it was good enough to help the Giants to win the World Series, beating the Texas Rangers 4-1. Pablo bounced back in 2011 with 23 home runs, 70 RBI and a .357 batting average, which earned him his first All-Star selection. He continued in the same way the next season, and the Giants won the World Series again, with Pablo being named the World Series MVP, hitting three home runs in Game 1. Sandoval played two more seasons for the Giants, before his contract expired.
After that, in 2015 he signed a contract worth $90 million over five years with the Boston Red Sox, which increased his wealth to a large degree. However, he played only one full season for the Red Sox, as he hurt his shoulder in 2016, and most recently he was placed on the 10-day disabled list due to an inner ear infection. In the last two seasons, Pablo played only 35 games for the Boston Red Sox.
Aside from MLB, Pablo also plays in his native Venezuela; in 2013 he won the Venezuelan Winter League with the Navegantes del Magallanes.
Regarding his personal life, Pablo was married to Yoletzade until 2010, with whom he has a daughter together. As of 2014 he has been in a relationship with Dubcy Romero.
Pablo is known by his nickname, Kung Fu Panda.
