Player Profile: Denny Bautista

I have five cards of Denny Bautista. This one is from 2006 Upper Deck.

Playing career: Denny Bautista pitched for six major league teams from 2004 to 2010. In 131 games (21 starts) he went 11-15 with a 4.23 ERA.

Where he is now: Pitching for the Hanwha Eagles in Korea.In 26 games this season he is 6-7 with a 4.12 ERA. He last pitched on Saturday, giving up two runs in five innings against the Samsung Lions.

Interesting facts: He is a second cousin of former Red Sox pitcher Pedro Martinez.

My memories: I would hear of him and would automatically think of Danny Bautista. I would think of him as an outfielder as a result and not a pitcher.

Google Autocomplete results: He is fifth when you type Denny Ba, between Denny Backhaus, a graphic designer, and Denny Bales, a Texas jeweler. There do not appear to be any other prominent Denny Bautistas.

Coming up next: The next profile will be Jose Bautista (the pitcher).
