Tampa Bay Rays baseman Evan Longoria has acquired a California real estate property.

Longoria, the 29-year-old professional baseball athlete buys a $1.95 million West Hollywood home, Los Angeles Times reported. The seller's listing agent was Ronald Goldhammer of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California while Jason Oppenheim of the Oppenheim Group represented Longoria in the deal.

The 1,850-square-foot Los Angeles residence features three bedrooms, including a master suite that comes with a huge bath tub and his and hers vanities. The Spanish-inspired abode also displays two bathrooms, a living room, a formal dining room and a modern kitchen.

The three-time All-Star baseball player is no stranger to California as he was born in the state and even attended the Long Beach State. However, Longoria may be using the house only for short stays when the Rays will have to compete with other Major League Baseball teams in the area, noted the news outlet.

Remarkable details of the charming and private home include arched doorways, beamed ceiling and fireplaces. The yard also showcases an expansive lawn, a sitting area, a patio and a two-car garage.

Tampa Bay's pride

The 2008 American League Rookie of the Year has only played for the Rays since he started in the Major League. This season marks his eighth year as a member of the Tampa Bay's team.

Grant Land noted that the baseball star's Isolated Power, ISO or "Raw Power," which is the "batter's ability to hit for extra bases," per Sporting Charts, decreased significantly in the recent years compared to his ISO figures from 2008 to 2013. Still, Longoria remains to be better than an average hitter. The Rays' third baseman remains "one of only 92 players in MLB history to post six consecutive seasons with an ISO over 0.200 in at least 300 plate appearances," noted Grant Land.

Longoria gave tips on Sports Illustrated Kids, which are helpful for those aspiring to be professional baseball players someday. He said that the "mental aspect of the game" was the "toughest part," which actually "separates really good players from the average or mediocre."

"A lot of times I see guys that are more physically gifted or talented than I am, but for whatever reason, they just aren't able to figure certain thing out mentality or be able to slow the game down enough to handle certain situations. For me, being able to work with some people on the mental side of the game has really, I think, helped me continue to progress as a player," Longoria said.
