    Pedro Martínez

    Pedro Martínez, born in Manoguayabo, Dominican Republic, on Oct. 25, 1971, grew up with five brothers and sisters in a one-room home on the outskirts of Santo Domingo. His talent – and that of his brother, Ramón Martínez – soon attracted pro scouts.

    “Talent is God-given,” Martinez said. “I have my own style. And there have been many, many teachers.”

    Ramón signed with the Dodgers on Sept. 1, 1984. Pedro followed Ramon to Los Angeles, signing with the team on June 18, 1988. By 1990, Ramón was a 20-game winner in the big leagues – and Pedro was one of the Dodgers’ top prospects, despite his 5-foot-11 frame that carried less than 150 pounds in those days.

    “I know who I am and where I came from,” Martínez said in 2011. “And I will never forget.”

    In 1993, Pedro got regular work in the Dodgers’ bullpen, posting a 10-5 record in 65 games while striking out 119 batters in 107 innings. But following the season, the Dodgers traded Martínez to the Expos for second baseman De

    Pedro Martinez

    Born in Manoguayabo, Dominican Republic, in 1971, Pedro Martinez was signed as an amateur free agent by the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1988. He was used primarily as a reliever for parts of two seasons with the Dodgers before he was dealt to the Montreal Expos for Delino DeShields on November 19, 1993.

    It was in Montreal that his major league career would truly take off. A key member of the Expos’ cirkelrörelse in 1994, when the team owned a six-game lead atop the National League East division in August before a strike wiped out the rest of the season, Martinez would evolve into the club’s ace. After registering 14 wins and a 3.51 ERA in 30 starts in 1995, he was selected to his first All-Star Game in 1996 when he recorded 13 victories and träffad out 222 batters in 216-2/3 innings.

    But it was his 1997 season that was one for the ages. In the midst of the steroid era, when offensive numbers were exploding, Martinez posted a 17-8 record and led the league with a 1.90 ERA. He
