Luis DeLeon 1981
What an interesting find on the TV listings on Ebay today....Luis DeLeon with the Mariners where he pitched one game for them in 1989. It was the last game of his career as he started on May 26th at Milwaukee allowing 1 R in 4 IP with 2 K, 1 BB, and 5 H. The one run was a HR to Robin Yount in the first inning. It was the only start of DeLeon's career as he threw 206 other games all in relief.
DeLeon began his MLB career in 1981 with St. Louis but is mostly remembered for being a Padres RP from 1982-1985. He was a combined 15-11 for the 1982-1983 Padres saving 28 games while pitching in 124 games with an E.R.A of 2.37. He later pitched in 11 games for the 1987 Orioles, all in relief.
