Pedro Martinez

Pedro Jaime Martínez (born October 25, 1971) is a Dominican-American former professional baseball starting pitcher who played for five Major League Baseball teams, most notably the Boston Red Sox. Before the 1994 season the Los Angeles Dodgers traded him to the Montreal Expos for Delino DeShields, and it was with the Expos, from 1994 to 1997, that he developed into one of the top pitchers in baseball. In 1997 he went 17–8 for Montreal and led the league in half a dozen pitching categories, including a 1.90 ERA, 305 strikeouts and 13 complete games, becoming the only Expo ever to win the National League Cy Young Award. An eight-time All-Star, he won three Cy Young Awards (1997, 1999, 2000), finished his career with a 2.93 ERA, and was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2015 in his first year of eligibility.
