Odalis Pérez, a former All-Star pitcher, passed away at his home in the Dominican Republic on Thursday. He was 44 🙏🏾
Pérez began his career with the Braves in 1998. During a postseason game for Atlanta that season, he became the first pitcher to earn a playoff win without winning a regular-season game.
Pérez’s stint with Atlanta came to an end when he was traded to the Dodgers in 2001 where he played in his only All-Star game in 2002, posting a 15–10 record and a 3.00 ERA that season. After Los Angeles, he was traded to the Royals in 2006, but was later sent to the Nationals on a minor-league deal in 2008.
Ahead of Opening Day in 2008, the Nationals declared Pérez as a starter, making him the first pitcher to throw a pitch at Nationals Park. After failing to report to spring training the next season, the Nationals released him, ending his MLB career.
