Pedro Jaime MartÃnez is a Dominican Republic-born former Major League Baseball pitcher. He is an eight-time All-Star, three-time Cy Young Award winner, and 2004 World Series champion. At the time of his 200th win in April 2006, MartÃnez had the highest winning percentage of any 200-game winner in modern baseball history. His WHIP is the lowest of any live-ball era starting pitcher in MLB history, and his ERA+ is the best of any starting pitcher in MLB history.
Officially listed at 5 ft 11 in and 195 pounds, MartÃnez was unusually small for a modern-day power pitcher, and he is believed to be somewhat smaller than his officially listed height and weight.
