MLB Players: The All-Time Cuban-American Team

Pitchers: My righty would definitely be South Florida’s own Alex Fernández, the ex-UM star won more than 100 games during his 10-year career although he never was selected to a midsummer classic he did finish sixth in 1997 Cy Young. During that same season he was a key component to the Florida Marlins world championship run. If his career wasn’t cut short by arm injuries he might have been at least a borderline HOFer

Gio González is my southpaw, the Hialeah, Florida native is arguably one of the best lefties of his generation. During his 12 year run in the big leagues he’s won 130 games and led the National League in wins with 21 in 2012. His 3.68 earned run average more than 1,800 K’s have been stellar. By the time all is said and done González might just reach the 200 win plateau.

Another ex-Um star is my closer, Chris Pérez was dominant for the Cleveland Indians 2010-2014 saving at least 20 or more games a season during that span and also garnering two all-star selections. In total the righty posted a 3.51 ERA and save more than 130 games during his brief career which was derailed by drug problems.
