Yunesky Maya

Yunesky Maya, born in 1981, was a professional baseball pitcher who played in Major League Baseball (MLB) from 2010 to 2013. He made his major league debut on September 7, 2010, and concluded his career on May 21, 2013. Maya's time in the big leagues was marked by his transition from the Cuban leagues, where he had established himself as a talented pitcher, to the competitive environment of MLB. During his career, Maya recorded a win-loss record of 1-5 with an earned run average (ERA) of 5.8. He struck out a total of 27 batters but did not achieve any saves. Despite these modest statistics, Maya's journey highlighted the increasing presence of Cuban players in the major leagues during the early 2010s, a period characterized by the growing internationalization of baseball. Although he faced challenges in establishing himself as a consistent performer in MLB, Maya's story is a testament to the talent and resilience of players from Cuba seeking to make their mark in American baseball.
