He pitched his entire career for the Detroit Tigers (1976–1980).Known for his quirky antics on the mound, Fidrych led the major leagues with a 2.34 ERA in 1976, won the American League (AL) Rookie of the Year award, and finished with a 19–9 record.
Shortly thereafter, however, injuries derailed his career, which ended after just five seasons in the major leagues.
