What is Bartolo Colon’s career?
Colon signed an amateur free agent contract with the Cleveland Indians in 1993, and he began his career in their minor league system. He was a star at all levels of the minors, winning the Lou Boudreau Award as the Indians’ Minor League Player of the Year in 1995 and being voted the league’s Pitcher of the Year despite missing part of the season due to an injured elbow.
On April 4, 1997, Bartolo Colon made his MLB debut, and his first season was marked by uneven performances. But he gradually improved, winning his only start in the 1998 American League Championship Series and tossing a one-hitter against the Yankees in 2000.
He played with the Cleveland Indians until 2002 when he was traded to the Montreal Expos in a package deal along with Tim Drew for Cliff Lee, Grady Sizemore, Brandon Phillips, and Lee Stevens.
Colon later played for the Chicago White Sox in 2003, the Anaheim Angels from 2004 to 2007, the Boston Red Sox in 2008, the Chicago White Sox again in 2009, the New York Yankees in 2011, the Oakland Athletics from 2012 to 2013, and the New York Mets between 2014 and 2016.
From there, he signed with the Atlanta Braves in 2017 but was designated for assignment after only 13 starts. The 44-year-old pitcher then signed a minor league contract with the Minnesota Twins and was promoted to the majors, where he became the oldest American League pitcher to throw a nine-inning complete game since 45-year-old Nolan Ryan in 1992. His final season in the majors came in 2018 with the Texas Rangers.
In 2020, Colon signed with the Acereros de Monclova club of the Mexican League. The season was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but it resumed in 2021, allowing Colon to make his regular-season debut. He announced in 2022 that he would play one more season of winter league baseball in the Dominican Professional Baseball League with the Aguilas Cibaenas before retiring permanently.
