• Hard throwing strikeout, right handed relief pitcher.
• His first 3 years in the Majors would probable rival any other relief pitchers, but had a short career.
• Two-time All Star
• One of only 41 pitchers in baseball history to strike out the side in 9 pitches
• May have had a slight attitude problem.
• K/9 of 12.2
• Drafted originally in 1982, didn't make his debut till 88

Why was he brought up so late after he was drafted? That's weird

He didn't sign the first time but was drafted again the next year. I'm not sure why.

Just looked up his minor league stats......He wasn't that good in the minors.

[Omar 382]

He caught three no-hitters all within 3 months- ironically all 3 were against my Phils
