Where did all the Latin American starting pitchers go?

Where did all the Latin American starting pitchers go?

The best Latin American starting pitcher in baseball signed out of Venezuela for just $25,000. He never ranked as a Top 100 prospect, he’s never made an All-Star team, and like many of his peers, turned to pitching as a matter of pure practicality.

“The thing is, there are too many position players in Latin America,” Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Ranger Suárez said. “So, I went opposite. A pitcher. It helped me stand out a little bit.”

Suárez, 28, leads the Majors with a 1.70 ERA. After 13 seasons of professional baseball, he has slowly but surely traced an increasingly rare path: one that goes from Latin America to the top of a Major League rotation.

Numbers from the league office show roughly 25 percent of Major League players come from Latin America and the Caribbean, but less than 15 percent of starting pitchers belong to that demographic. The position player leaderboard is loaded with Latin American superstars (20 of the top 50 according to FanGraphs WAR), but only eight of the top 50 starting pitchers in ERA are Latin American.

The imbalance defies surface-level expectations. In the age of Juan Soto, Ronald Acuna Jr., and Elly De La Cruz, baseball lacks an obvious heir to Félix Hernández and Pedro Martinez as the next great Latin American ace. Twelve of the 25 hardest-throwing position players are Latin American, and so are 11 of the 25 hardest-throwing pitchers, so why aren’t more of them starting pitchers?

The top American players tend to both pitch and hit at least through high school, and many emerge as legitimate pitching prospects only after their bodies and skills further develop in college. Justin Verlander, who grew up in Virginia and is now one of the best starting pitchers of his generation, went undrafted out of high school but was the second overall pick after three years at Old Dominion University.

Few Latin American players have an opportunity to follow that path. They often sign as young as 16 years old, and many Latin American big leaguers — even the ones with the strongest arms — tell stories of choosing a position when they were very young, then staying there. As long as they can hit, even the strongest throwers are shunted away from the mound.

Today Kenley Jansen is one of the most accomplished relief pitchers of all time with the fifth-most saves in Major League history, but when Jansen was signed out of Curacao as a 17-year-old in 2004, he was a catcher, and remained so for years despite his electric arm. When he finally moved to the mound in 2009, he was in the big leagues within a year.

“If I were an American kid, I would not be a catcher in the minor leagues,” Jansen said. “Some coach would have already turned me into a pitcher. I would have never hit in professional baseball. They would have recognized the arm.”

Although his career has been wildly successful – four-time All-Star, two-time National League Reliever of the Year – Jansen said he wonders if he might have become a starter had he converted sooner with more time and instruction to develop his secondary pitches. He’s surely not alone. The league’s numbers show that 45.3 percent of Latin American players are pitchers, but a disproportionate number are relievers. Some of that disparity is a financial issue.

Two decades ago, elite Latin American pitchers generated some of the largest signing bonuses on the international market. Hernández, Ervin Santana, Francisco Rodriguez and Francisco Liriano signed for nearly seven figures at a time when such hefty deals were rare. Bonuses of that size have dwindled since Major League Baseball and the MLBPA agreed to cap international amateur spending at $5 million per club in the collective bargaining agreement struck after the 2016 season. The new rules caused teams to become more risk-averse, a calculus that favors hitters.

Executives involved in international scouting, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they aren’t authorized to discuss the issue,  say position players — especially when they’re scouted and signed as teenagers, which most Latin American players are — are seen as far safer bets than pitchers. If a young hitter loses athleticism, he can still advance as a bat-first outfielder or first baseman. If his bat doesn’t develop, he could carve out a role as an elite defender or versatile utility man. There’s little fallback plan for pitchers, and even the most promising young arms can flame out quickly if they get hurt or develop poorly.

“The position players are the ones that are getting the signing bonuses,” said one big league executive with experience scouting in Latin America. “They become pitchers because they didn’t hit enough, or they can’t run enough, or they didn’t move well enough.”

In baseball, there’s a popular saying often attributed to players from the Dominican Republic: “You don’t walk your way off the island.” It speaks to a mentality that Latin American players have to hit to be signed. Plate discipline alone won’t do it, and these days — especially for those who want to sign for big money — neither will pitching. We’ll never know, but the best Latin American pitcher today just might be the guy playing shortstop or right field.

“It’s sort of funny,” San Diego Padres right fielder Fernando Tatis said. “In (the Latin American academies) everyone is a shortstop. They just get a couple pitchers to bring in so they can throw to you.”

Cincinnati Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz, from the Dominican Republic, is 6-foot-5 with one of the strongest arms in baseball, but said he hasn’t pitched since he was very young. Rays center fielder Jose Siri, also from the Dominican and another of the hardest throwers in the game, was more specific: He hasn’t pitched since he was 9. Mets Dominican-born right fielder Starling Marte was once asked to pitch at an amateur tryout but refused.

“I was never interested in that,” Marte said. “I saw other pitchers get hit hard, and I didn’t like that. I remember a couple games where I was in the outfield and I saw guys get hit, and I said, ‘Damn, I don’t want to go through that.’”

Why would he? This January, more than 35 international amateurs received signing bonuses of at least $1 million, but none were pitchers. The big money went to hitters, while even the most highly touted arms settled for six or even five figures.

“Teams are afraid to invest money on pitching, because of the injuries, the risk factor,” one executive said. “You end up signing a lot of good, decent arms. But most of them are throwers or relievers, guys that throw hard.”

This thinking extends to the domestic amateur draft, where only three high school pitchers have ever been selected first overall, and two of them never reached the majors.

On the international market these days, teams tend to splurge on a few promising hitters while spreading smaller bonuses to a handful of young pitchers in hopes that one or two will eventually emerge.

The handlers, known as buscones, who train and promote amateur Latin American players – and also receive a cut of their signing bonuses – recognize this spending disparity and, according to several executives and players with knowledge of the international market, sometimes push elite Latin American players away from the mound. A player like Verlander, had he been born in the Dominican Republic, might have been showcased as a center fielder with the size to hit for power and the arm strength to handle right field. He might never have been guided to the mound.

“They try to train position players so they can get more money,” Cincinnati Reds Dominican-born starter Frankie Montas said. “If you can hit, they’re going to want you to stick with hitting as long as you can.”

Red Sox right fielder Wilyer Abreu, who has another of the strongest throwing arms of any position player in the majors, said he was initially scouted in his native Venezuela as a two-way player, and for a while he thought he might sign as one, but around the time he turned 16 and the scouting intensified, the various people running showcases and workouts told him to stop wasting time on the mound.

“With time, the scouts just told me they didn’t want to see me any more as a pitcher,” Abreu said. “Just focus on being a position player, and that’s when everything changed.”

Abreu was the age of an American high school sophomore, throwing left-handed, with a fastball that some scouts already clocked at 90 mph. Yet there was little interest in seeing how far he could go on the mound. Abreu is now 24 years old and said he can’t remember which offspeed pitches he threw because it’s been so long since he even tried.

Had Abreu stayed on the mound, his opportunity to develop his secondary pitches might have been limited outside of America. The developmental infrastructure — both in facilities and personnel — simply isn’t the same. Driveline, which stands at the leading edge of American pitching development, has a minimal presence in Latin America, and few Latin American players end up pitching for elite college programs that have state-of-the-art facilities and technology for pitching development.

“You’re asking a 15, 16-year-old kid to be at the same level, in a different country, as an American guy who has been to college (and) learned so much,” Mariners star center fielder Julio Rodriguez said. “It’s different. It’s definitely different.”

The imbalance can create even greater disparity.

“It’s also part of the culture,” said retired slugger Nelson Cruz, who served as the general manager for the Dominican Republic in the 2023 World Baseball Classic. “When you grow up, you want to [play] shortstop or center field. That’s the beauty of hitting home runs and playing defense and all that. A lot of it is having someone to look up to in the big leagues.”

Mexico counts former Los Angeles Dodgers ace Fernando Valenzuela among its most iconic baseball players, and since 2000, nearly 65 percent of the Mexican major leaguers have been pitchers. In Puerto Rico, though, right fielder Roberto Clemente is a national hero and there’s a proud tradition of catchers (Ivan Rodriguez, Jorge Posada, the Molina brothers) and middle infielders (Roberto Alomar, Francisco Lindor, Carlos Correa), but Puerto Rican pitchers are far less iconic. Puerto Rican players are draft-eligible and thus unaffected by the rules and quirks of international free agency, yet since 2000, 73 percent of Puerto Rican-born players (107 of 146) have been position players. Jansen said he sees the same thing in his native Curacao, where kids once dreamed of following the footsteps of center fielder Andruw Jones and now want to be the next Andrelton Simmons or Ozzie Albies in the middle infield.

“I think everybody in Curacao now wants to be a shortstop or a second baseman,” Jansen said. “Nobody wants to pitch, and we have so much great arm talent.”

There is considerable value, though, for teams that successfully tap into that talent pool.

In recent years, the Houston Astros have leaned on a slew of low-cost Latin American starters — Framber Valdez, Cristian Javier, José Urquidy, Luis Garcia and Ronel Blanco — to keep their rotation competitive amid a streak of seven straight American League Championship Series appearances. The Phillies (Suárez), Atlanta Braves (Reynaldo López) and Chicago Cubs (Javier Assad) have benefited from strong seasons from Latin American starters this season.

Those are outliers, though. Since 2015, only one Latin American pitcher has won an ERA title and only two rank in the top 25 in starting pitcher WAR. The Astros, New York Mets and Miami Marlins are the only teams to have used as many as three Latin American starters this season; the vast majority of teams have used one or zero. The entire National League West has used only three Latin American starters this season, and two of those were one-game-only spot starters.

Even those who have thrived on the mound might secretly wish they still had a chance to hit.

“I liked (pitching),” said Mets starter Luis Severino, who converted from the outfield as a 15-year-old. “I liked the adrenaline, the competition.

“But if I had to choose, I would definitely be a position player.”

World Cup Buzz: Neymar Out For Brazil’s Match Against Morocco On Saturday

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

The wait is officially over. The FIFA World Cup has arrived.

For the first time ever, three nations—the United States, Mexico, and Canada are co-hosting the tournament. It is also the largest FIFA World Cup in history, expanding to a 48-team field. Squads from around the world have arrived in North America with one ultimate goal: capturing the iconic World Cup trophy.

Here’s the latest look at some of the most notable news surrounding the World Cup.

June 12:

Official Injury Update On Neymar

Brazilian star Neymar Jr. will officially miss Brazil’s opening match against Morocco on Saturday. Neymar was named to Brazil’s 2026 FIFA World Cup squad despite a calf injury, and now won’t be available early on. Manager Carlo Ancelotti said that “Neymar is working very hard to recover as quickly as possible.

“The expectation is that he will recover and rejoin the group next week.”

United StatesGoogle Doodle Has World Cup Fever

In case fans didn’t already have World Cup fever, they can open their web browser.

Google is officially ready for USA’s opener against Paraguay, as the home page features a custom, USA-themed Google Doodle.

The Doodle features red text with a blue outline, as well as a soccer ball along with an interchanging USA crest replacing the “O’s” in Google.

United StatesJames Cordon Stretches With Christian Pulisic

James Corden joined Christian Pulisic and the United States men’s national team for a training session ahead of their World Cup opener against Paraguay.

After meeting with head coach Mauricio Pochettino and going through a film session with the players, Corden and Co. hit the pitch for practice, where he helped serve as a water boy.

Corden tried to help Pulisic stretch out his legs after practice before he was stopped by a member of the coaching staff. As Corden walked off, Pulisic sprayed him with a water bottle.

Congo DRDR Congo Arrives to the World Cup in Style

The DR Congo men’s national team isn’t set to play until Wednesday, June 17, against Portugal in Group K, but they’ve already made a statement upon arrival in Houston, Texas. 

The squad arrived in style, stepping off the plane in striking black, jaguar-inspired outfits that quickly turned heads. The bold look fits their nickname, Les Léopards, and sets the tone for their World Cup presence before they even face Portugal. 

DR Congo may be heavy underdogs, but they’re already winning where it counts off the pitch, taking the fashion battle before kickoff.

CanadaCanada’s Jesse Marsch Takes Dig At USA

The Canadian men’s national team is set to face Bosnia and Herzegovina on Friday afternoon. Ahead of the match, head coach Jesse Marsch took a subtle jab at the United States men’s national team during his remarks on Thursday.

“In the U.S., we had to beg players to sing the national anthem,” Marsch said.

The United States conducted a months-long search for a new head coach in 2023, with Marsch emerging as the frontrunner and making it clear he wanted the job. Instead, they chose to rehire Gregg Berhalter, a decision that may have left Marsch with some lingering resentment.

Marsch’s subtle jab could take on added stakes if the United States and Canada meet during the FIFA World Cup. The two nations could potentially face off as early as the Round of 32 or the Round of 16.

June 11:

Erling HaalandNorway

The pressure of competing in the 2026 FIFA World Cup is high, but that hasn’t stopped players from enjoying some downtime with their teammates. Norway star Erling Haaland was spotted at the Stanley Cup Final between the Vegas Golden Knights and the Carolina Hurricanes.

Haaland appeared to be enjoying himself as the Hurricanes secured a Game 5 victory, taking a 3-2 series lead over the Golden Knights. The Manchester City striker drew plenty of attention from fans in attendance as he took in the action from the stands.

The Norway star was seen celebrating in the stands before turning his attention back to international duty, with Norway set to face Iraq in Group 1 play on Tuesday, June 16.

AustraliaAustralia Coach Popovic Signs Extension

Australia coach Tony Popovic has signed a contract extension through early 2027 on the eve of his team’s World Cup opening match against Turkey on Saturday.

Football Australia said Friday that the 52-year-old Popovic’s deal now extends through the Asian Cup, which will take place in January and early February in Saudi Arabia.

The former Australia international was hired in September 2024 and led the Socceroos to qualification for the 48-team tournament.

“I’m proud to lead my country into a World Cup, but most importantly, I want to ensure that our team is fully prepared and focused on our group matches against Turkey, the United States, and Paraguay,” he said of Australia’s opponents in Group D.

CanadaCanada Captain Sidelined For Opening Match

Canada’s captain and star defender Alphonso Davies will miss Canada’s World Cup opener against Bosnia and Herzegovina. Davies’ status has been questionable due to an ACL tear and other injuries during the club season, which limited Davies to appearing in two of Canada’s last 21 games.

Davies is one of the co-host’s more valuable players in terms of talent and experience, including 58 appearances in nine years with the national team. However, Davies’ injury does not rule him out of the entire tournament. His injury update and restraint from the opening match serves as a caution to heal his injury as the group stage unfolds.

After playing for the Vancouver Whitecaps in the MLS, Davies transferred to Bayern Munich, where he’s played since 2019.  Canada is set to play Bosnia and Herzegovina on June 12, followed by Qatar on June 18 and Switzerland on June 24.

JapanCaptain Wataru Endo Withdraws From World Cup

Just ahead of Japan’s opening match against the Netherlands on June 14, captain and midfielder Wataru Endo has withdrawn his name from Japan’s World Cup squad and paired it with his national team retirement, per his statement on X. Endo has been dealing with an ongoing ankle/foot injury since February. 

Endo has played for the Japan national team for over a decade, where he made 73 appearances and scored four goals. As a veteran anchor in the midfield, Endo has also served as Japan’s captain since their previous World Cup in 2022, where they reached the Round of 16.

As for Endo’s professional career, he first played for Shanon Bellmare from 2010-15, followed by the Urawa Red Diamonds from 2016-19, VfB Stuttgart from 2019-23 and has played for Liverpool FC since 2023. With Liverpool, Endo played a prominent role in the team’s Carabao Cup victory in 2024. 

With Endo out, Japan has officially called Borussia Mönchengladbach midfielder Shuto Machino to join the 26-man roster. Machino is entering his second World Cup and his fifth year with the Japan national team.

ArgentinaMarco Senesi Called Up To 26-Man Roster

Following the injury of defender Leonardo Balerdi, Argentina has officially called up defender Marcos Senesi to the 26-man roster. Argentina is set to open their World Cup campaign on June 16 against Algeria. 

Senesi has been training prior in case of a last-minute call-up, and was named to the roster after Balerdi’s muscle injury was ruled out. Senesi has played professionally since 2016, playing for clubs like San Lorenzo, Feyenoord, AFC Bournemouth and is currently with Tottenham Hotspur. 

Joining Senesi in the back are defenders Lisandro Martínez, Nicolás Otamendi and Cristian Romero. 

In what’s likely to be Lionel Messi’s last World Cup, Argentina will look to repeat their historic 2022 World Cup win this tournament.

United StatesTyler Adams, USA Celebrate Shocking Knicks’ W

Tyler Adams, United States’ midfielder, is a fan of the National Basketball Association’s New York Knicks. The Knicks are in the NBA Finals, on the eve of the start of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, so members of the United States’ squad gathered together to watch what turned out to be the largest NBA Finals comeback in history, with the Knicks coming out on top.

When New York won, the room erupted, with Adams especially going wild. And we know this because the reaction was caught on camera in the moment.

That couch is destroyed, but at least no one watching the game ended up as damaged as it did after Adams went climbing and kicking all over it! If the United States ends up having a major comeback or win in the World Cup, maybe keep the players away from any obstacles like that, though. Just to be safe.

MoroccoMorocco Loses 2 Players To Injury Before World Cup

Morocco replaced two injured players in its World Cup squad ahead of an opening game against Brazil, including star winger Abde Ezzalzouli.

FIFA confirmed late Wednesday that former Barcelona player Ezzalzouli and Marseille defender Nayef Aguerd were withdrawn from the Morocco squad for the tournament.

Ezzalzouli helped Real Betis qualify for next season’s Champions League and was a potential breakout star at the World Cup. Aguerd was a cornerstone of Morocco’s historic semifinals team at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

They were replaced by Amine Sbai of French club Angers and Marwane Saadane, who plays in Saudi Arabia for Al Fateh.

Morocco opens against Brazil on Saturday at MetLife Stadium near New York, then plays Scotland on June 19 near Boston and finishes Group C against Haiti on June 24 in Atlanta.

Ezzalzouli injured his right knee in a warmup game against Norway last weekend, though initial tests suggested he could be retained in coach Mohamed Ouahbi’s squad to play in the knockout rounds.

AustriaSurprise World Cup Comeback For Austrian Midfielder

The last time Dejan Ljubicic played for Austria was nearly three years ago. Now a teammate’s injury has given him a surprise comeback at the World Cup.

Austria coach Ralf Rangnick called up Ljubicic late Wednesday to replace key midfielder Christoph Baumgartner, who injured his right thigh while warming up for a pre-World Cup friendly against Tunisia last week and needed surgery.

Ljubicic is set to join Austria at the team camp in Santa Barbara on Thursday, ahead of the team’s first game on Tuesday against Jordan. Austria also plays Argentina and Algeria in Group J.

He’s more of a defensive midfield option than Baumgartner, who scored 17 goals in all competitions for Leipzig in Germany last season and has remained in camp to support the team.

Ljubicic also plays in Germany on the Schalke team which secured promotion from the second division last month.

Ljubicic has nine games for Austria but none at a major tournament. His last appearance was in a friendly against Moldova in September 2023, and he wasn’t in the squad for any World Cup qualifiers.

Shohei Ohtani held out of starting lineup a day after leaving game with knee inflammation

Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani was out of the lineup Friday against the White Sox after exiting the game before with discomfort in the back of his left knee.

Manager Dave Roberts said Ohtani had imaging done on the knee and showed “the normal wear and tear.”

“He feels fine-ish,” said Roberts, who hopes Ohtani will be back in the lineup this weekend. Ohtani remains in line to make his next pitching start on Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Rays at Dodger Stadium.

Especially at this point in the season, the Dodgers have incentive to play it safe with Ohtani’s recovery. Pushing him to return early and exacerbating the injury would be a larger blow to a team seeking its third straight World Series championship.

With Ohtani out, left fielder Alex Call was in the leadoff spot, and Santiago Espinal served as the designated hitter.

2026 World Cup Odds: Teams Favored to Advance to Knockout Stage

2026 World Cup Odds: Teams Favored to Advance to Knockout Stage

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

With the largest World Cup field in the history of the tournament, 32 of the 48 teams will be fighting for a spot in the knockout stage. 

66.6% of nations will advance out of the group stage this summer, which is a massive upgrade from 50% in past World Cups. Because of this, sportsbooks have adjusted with less favorable odds.

Prior to the start of the tournament, Spain, Argentina, Brazil, England, and Germany entered with the strongest odds to advance from the group stage, supported by recent major-tournament success and talent-rich rosters.

All five nations are heavily favored at -10000 to advance to the knockout round.

The Spaniards are the defending European Champions while the Argentinians are looking to win back-to-back titles. Germany has not made it out of the group stage in the last two World Cups, but has always been a perennial contender— having won four titles in its history. And then of course there’s Brazil, which has more titles than any country with five. 

Now, after the conclusion of the first day of the World Cup, Mexico has joined the group at the top. El Tri has surged to -10000 to advance to the knockout stage after initially being just -1400. Mexico’s huge leap up the oddsboard is a direct result of its dominating 2-0 win over South Africa. 

With that in mind, let’s dive into the odds for each team to advance to the knockout stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup as of June 12.
