Johan Santana Biography

At his best, there was no pitcher harder to hit than Johan Santana.  Santana was a four-time All-Star and two-time Cy Young Award winner.  In 2006, he won the first Major League Pitching Triple Crown since Dwight Gooden in 1985.  Santana achieved all of his early-career success with the Minnesota Twins but signed the richest pitching contract in baseball history at the time in 2008 with the New York Mets.  He threw the first no-hitter in Mets history in 2012.  Santana was discovered in Venezuela in 1994 and originally signed by the Houston Astros.  The Twins picked him up in the 1999 Rule 5 Draft.  He is one of just a handful of players to go on to success being selected in the Rule 5 Draft.  The Johan Santana Foundation has contributed to many different charitable causes since it was established in 2006.
