Oswaldo Peraza

Oswaldo Peraza

Oswald José Peraza [pay-RAH-za] (born October 19, 1962 in Puerto Cabello, Venezuela) is a former starting pitcher in Major League Baseball who played for the Baltimore Orioles (1988). He batted and threw right-handed.

Peraza was a hard thrower with a fastball in the 94-95 range. He also had a good slider and a fine change-up. On August 31, 1987, Peraza was traded to the Baltimore Orioles for pitcher Mike Flanagan by the Toronto Blue Jays and He debuted with Baltimore in 1988, then missed the following season with arm problems which were serious enough to affect the rest of his career. In his rookie season, Peraza posted a 10-14 record with 61 strikeouts and a 5.55 of ERA in 86 innings pitched.

Peraza, who was once one of the more highly-touted prospects in the game, couldn't make it out of Triple-A ball and he retired for good after three injury riddled years (1990–92).
