About Mike Torrez
Mike Torrez won 20 games for the only time in 1975, finishing 20-9 with a 3.06 ERA for Baltimore after the Orioles acquired him from Montreal. He completed 16 games in 270 2/3 innings, and on June 24 he had an altercation with Thurman Munson. Card #25 in the 1976 Topps set carries the Orioles, though Baltimore sent him to Oakland for 1976 in the Reggie Jackson trade.
Mike Torrez pitched for seven major league clubs during an 18-season career, starting 458 of his 494 appearances. The right-hander signed with St. Louis in 1964 for a $20,000 bonus. At Triple-A Tulsa in 1967, he worked with Warren Spahn on his curveball and put together 34 consecutive scoreless innings before reaching the Cardinals that September. He later pitched for Montreal, Baltimore, Oakland, the Yankees, Boston and the Mets. With New York's National League club near the end of his career, he mentored pitchers including Ron Darling and Jesse Orosco. Torrez finished with 185 wins and a 3.96 ERA. He completed 117 games and threw 15 shutouts in 3,044 innings.
