Description: Fernando Valenzuela Anguamea November 1, 1960 – October 22, 2024) was a Mexican professional baseball pitcher. Valenzuela played 17 Major League Baseball (MLB) seasons, from 1980 to 1991 and 1993 to 1997. While he played for six MLB teams, his longest tenure was with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Valenzuela batted and threw left-handed. His career highlights include a win-loss record of 173–153, with an earned run average (ERA) of 3.54. His 41.5 career wins above replacement (according to Baseball-Reference) is the highest of any Mexican-born MLB player. Valenzuela had an unorthodox windup and was one of a small number of pitchers who threw a screwball regularly. Never a particularly hard thrower, the Dodgers felt he needed another pitch; he was taught the screwball in 1979 by teammate Bobby Castillo.[1] Fernando Valenzuela Valenzuela in 1993 Pitcher Born: November 1, 1960 Etchohuaquila, Mexico Died: October 22, 2024 (aged 63) Los Angeles, California, U.S. Batted: Left Threw: Left MLB debut September 15, 1980, for the Los Angeles Dodgers Last MLB appearance July 14, 1997, for the St. Louis Cardinals MLB statistics Win–loss record 173–153 Earned run average 3.54 Strikeouts 2,074 Teams Los Angeles Dodgers (1980–1990) California Angels (1991) Baltimore Orioles (1993) Philadelphia Phillies (1994) San Diego Padres (1995–1997) St. Louis Cardinals (1997) Career highlights and awards 6× All-Star (1981–1986) World Series champion (1981) NL Cy Young Award (1981) NL Rookie of the Year (1981) Gold Glove Award (1986) 2× Silver Slugger Award (1981, 1983) NL wins leader (1986) MLB strikeout leader (1981) Pitched a no-hitter on June 29, 1990 Los Angeles Dodgers No. 34 retired Member of the Mexican Professional Baseball Hall of Fame Induction 2014
