Los Angeles Dodgers legend Fernando Valenzuela died in 1981, the second year after his Major League debut.

Major U.S. media reported on the 23rd (Korean time) that Valenzuela died at the age of 63 at a hospital in LA. The cause of death was not disclosed.

Earlier this month, it was reported that Valenzuela had collapsed from an unknown disease and was hospitalized. Since then, Valenzuela has turned its back on the world after less than a month.

Mexican-born Valenzuela made his Major League debut as a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1980. In 1981, his second year, he made a splash by playing the harness.

Valenzuela's stable is a screwball that is not thrown now. In 1981, Valenzuela won the National League Rookie of the Year and the Cy Young Award.

At that time, Valenzuela pitched 19 1/3 innings in 25 games, recording 13 wins and 7 losses with a 2.48 strikeout and 180 ERA. He won eight shutouts.

In addition, the team led the LA Dodgers to the top of the World Series that year. At that time, the LA Dodgers won the game with the New York Yankees by four wins and two losses.
Valenzuela continued to perform well after 1981, including being selected as an All-Star for six consecutive years until 1986, but has been in its prime since 1987.

Since then, Valenzuela has played for the California Angels, Baltimore Orioles, Philadelphia Phillies, San Diego Padres and St. Louis Cardinals.

In a career of 17 seasons, he pitched 2,930 innings in 453 games (424 starts), with 173 wins and 153 losses and a 3.54 strikeout average. 안전놀이터
Is it because he uses screw balls as his main weapon that can seriously impact his elbow? The heyday of Venezuela was not that long. He came down from his heyday in his mid-20s.

Since then, Valenzuela has been in charge of broadcasting the LA Dodgers in Spanish, but died at the age of 63 after suffering from chronic diseases such as diabetes.
