Rafael Santana Stats

Rafael Santana was born on Friday, January 31, 1958, in La Romana, La Romana, Dominican Republic. Santana was 25 years old when he broke into the big leagues on April 5, 1983, with the St. Louis Cardinals. His biographical data, year-by-year hitting stats, fielding stats, pitching stats (where applicable), career totals, uniform numbers, salary data and miscellaneous items-of-interest are presented by Baseball Almanac on this comprehensive Rafael Santana baseball stats page.
"What makes the National League more tough is you see so many great arms. From what I've seen in this league, there are a bunch of guys who, when it's 3-2 in the count, will throw the breaking ball. This league depends more on the breaking ball. The fourth or fifth started over there (N.L.) might be second or third over here." - Rafael Santana in Baseball Digest (September 1988)
