Bartolomé Araujo Fortunato (born August 24, 1974 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic) is a Major League Baseball pitcher for the San Francisco Giants.
Fortunato was originally an outfielder, but was converted to pitching when signed as a free agent by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in 1999. He made his Major League debut on June 29, 2004 against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Fortunato was traded to the New York Mets along with Victor Zambrano as part of a controversial deal that sent top Mets prospect Scott Kazmir to Tampa Bay. After pitching well late in 2004, he spent the entire 2005 season on the disabled list with a herniated disc.
Fortunato is single and resides in Santo Domingo.
