Pedro Jaime Martínez (born October 25, 1971 in
Manoguayabo, Dominican Republic) is a Major League
Baseball pitcher for the New York Mets. He has won
three Cy Young Awards and is considered to be one of
the top pitchers of his era. At the time of his
200th win in April 2006, Martínez had the highest
winning percentage of any 200-game winner. In 2007,
he became the 15th pitcher to reach 3,000 career
strikeouts.
Martínez, at 5 ft 11 in (1.80 m) and 170 pounds (77
kg), is unusually small for a modern-day power
pitcher, and he is believed to be somewhat smaller
than his officially listed height and weight.
