Omar Quintanilla (born October 24, 1981, in El Paso, Texas) is a Major League Baseball infielder playing for the Colorado Rockies. He attended Socorro High School in El Paso, Texas, where he led the city of El Paso in home runs, RBIs, and was elected to the Texas All-State Short Stop. After graduating, he received a scholarship to the University of Texas, Austin, where he played second base, third base, and shortstop, and won a national championship. He was initially drafted by the Oakland Athletics, but in 2005, while still a minor leaguer, he was traded along with outfielder Eric Byrnes to the Rockies for pitchers Joe Kennedy and Jay Witasick.
