Face of a Franchise

Seattle Pilots

26-year old LHP Alex Vizcaino
2-time All-Star, Season 1 AL Rookie of the Year
About Alex:
An inaugural member of the Pilots, Vizcaino is very talented for being so young. He is a dominant pitcher, Vizcaino suffered a devastating tear of the labrum in Game 6 of the ALCS, he managed to still receive a bittersweet ring. Boasting ridiculous statistics including 7.35 K/9 during the regular season and a 7.41 K/9 in the post-season, it is amazing that he has not won a Cy Young Award yet. After his injury, he may not be able to pitch nearly as many innings as in the past, but he is still young enough to recover and put up the statistics necessary to earn him a first-ballot HOF entry as well as several Cy Young awards and maybe even some post-season hardware to go with those on his mantle.

CAREER STATS
Regular Season
41-18, 468.0 IP, 382 K, 1.02 WHIP, 2.56 ERA
Post-Season
6-1, 68.2 IP, 56 K, 0.92 WHIP, 1.83 ERA
