From the baseball-rich nation of Mexico, Teddy Higuera made history as the first Mexican to win 20 Games in MLB, a season where he was the American League Cy Young runner up and the leader for bWAR by Pitchers. Higuera’s career in MLB was not relatively long, but it was spent only with Milwaukee where he was named an All-Star in 1986. Two years later he would lead the American League in WHIP with a 0.999 tally.
Higuera dealt with a litany of injuries, which shortened his career, but he still left the game with a career record of 94-64 and 1,061 Strikeouts.
