EVANSVILLE, Ind. - The Evansville Otters have finalized a deal to send right-handed pitcher Felix Baez to the Road Warriors of the Atlantic League for a player to be named later.
"Felix has been a huge part of the Otters' success the last two seasons," Otters manager Andy McCauley said. "He has been given an opportunity to play closer to family and he wants to challenge himself in the Atlantic league.
"We wish him the best of luck."
A San Juan, P.R. native, Baez appeared in 10 games and made five starts for Evansville in 2016. He finished 1-0 with a 3.94 ERA in 32 innings on the mound and struck out 38 batters.
Last season, Baez went 5-4 with a 3.69 ERA in 15 starts for the Otters and he pitched 85.1 innings while striking out 104 batters.
"The way the fans always supported and cheered for us, that was the best thing," Baez said. "You didn't see that with other teams in the league."
Baez played for the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff and later played for the Indios de Mayaguez in the Puerto Rican Winter League.
