Orlando HernndezOrlando Hernndez Pedroso (born October 11, 1965 in Villa Clara, Cuba), also nicknamed "El Duque", is a Major League Baseball right-handed starting pitcher. Hernndez decided to defect from Cuba in 1997, in order to play in the major leagues. He is the older half-brother of pitcher Livn, like Orlando, another defector in 1995. Before the 2005 season, the Chicago White Sox agreed to terms on a two-year contract with Hernandez, who had been with the New York Yankees (1998-2002, 2004). He also was on the Expos roster in 2003 but never played a game for them due to an injury. Hernndez enjoyed his best year in 1999, with a 17-9 record and setting career-highs in strikeouts (157) and innings pitched (214.1). After the regular season, he was selected the Most Valuable Player in the American League Championship Series. In a six-year career, Hernndez has a 61-40 record with 703 strikeouts and a 3.96 ERA in 876 innings.
