Tony Armas - Biography
Antonio José Armas (born April 29, 1978), better known as Tony Armas, Jr., is a former Major League Baseball right-handed pitcher. He last appeared in a Major League game in 2008. He spent most of his active career with the Montreal Expos/Washington Nationals.
Armas used a low-90s moving fastball and a sharp-breaking curve to establish what he wanted to do with each hitter. He had an effective slider, a splitter, and a changeup to keep opponents out of balance.
He was sent to the Montréal Expos in 1997 along with pitcher Carl Pavano in exchange for Pedro Martínez.
Various injuries held him back until 2003, when he was the team's Opening Day starter, shutting down the Atlanta Braves at Turner Field, 10–2. But the strong start turned into a breakdown weeks later, after he was diagnosed with injuries in his arm and shoulder which required season-ending surgery. At that time, Armas had a record of 2–1, 23 strikeouts and a 2.61 ERA, with a WHIP of 1.065 and not allowing a home run until his fifth and last start.
In April 2009, he was signed by the Atlanta Braves and assigned to the Triple-A Gwinnett Braves. On July 25, 2009, the Braves released Armas.
Armas is the son of former All-Star outfielder Tony Armas, and a nephew of former first baseman Marcos Armas. Tony's father broke into the Majors with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1976.
