About Andy Benes
Andy Benes was a 14 year veteran baseball pitcher with the San Diego Padres, Seattle Mariners, St. Louis Cardinals, and Arizona Diamondbacks. Benes was an All-Star in 1993, won 155 games and had 2,000 strikeouts in his career. His best season was 1996, when he went 18-10 with a 3.83 ERA and finished third in the Cy Young Award balloting. Due to a contract loophole, Benes signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks prior to their inaugural season in 1998 and threw out the first pitch in franchise history. He was the first overall pick of the 1988 MLB Draft out of the University of Evansville. Andy’s brother, Alan was also a major league pitcher and they were teammates two separate times during their careers. In his post-baseball life, Benes has been a high school coach and still participates in several charity efforts in the St. Louis area. He co-hosts a children’s show on Fox Sports Midwest called “Cardinals Kids” and does various other work for the network.
