Jamie Moyer (born November 17, 1962) is an American professional left handed baseball

pitcher who is currently a free agent. At the time of his last game to date (in June 2010), he
was the oldest player in the major leagues and had the most wins, losses, and strikeouts of
any active Major League pitcher. He has been likened to Phil Niekro.[1][2][3]
Moyer has pitched for the Chicago Cubs, Texas Rangers, St. Louis Cardinals, Baltimore
Orioles, Boston Red Sox, Seattle Mariners and Philadelphia Phillies. He made the All-Star
team in 2003, while with the Mariners. Moyer has won numerous awards for philanthropy
and community service, including the 2003 Roberto Clemente Award, the 2003 Lou Gehrig
Memorial Award, the 2003 Hutch Award and the 2004 Branch Rickey Award. Moyer is one
of only 29 players in baseball history to date to have appeared in Major League games in
four decades.

Amateur career

High school
Moyer attended Souderton Area High School in Souderton, Pennsylvania, where he played
baseball, basketball, and golf.
College
Moyer pitched at Saint Joseph's University where in 1984 he set the school's single-season
records in wins, with 16, ERA, with 1.99, and strikeouts, with 90.[4] In 1997 he became the
only Saint Joseph's baseball player to have his jersey number, number 10, retired,[4] and
was one of three inductees into the first class of the St. Joseph's Baseball Hall of Fame.
He was drafted by the Chicago Cubs in the sixth round of the 1984 amateur draft, and
completed his college degree from Indiana University in 1996.
Professional career
1986–1996
Moyer was selected a New York – Penn League All-Star in 1984. He made his major league
debut with the Chicago Cubs on June 16, 1986, against Steve Carlton and the Philadelphia
Phillies, and got his first win. Later that year, on August 16, he threw his first shutout against
the Montreal Expos. He was also the starting pitcher for the Cubs on the day that Greg
Maddux made his major league debut.
In 1987, Moyer ranked tenth in the National League in strikeouts with 147, while winning 12
games. Following his then-best season in 1988, he was traded to the Texas Rangers as
part of the 9-player Rafael Palmeiro for Mitch Williams trade.[2]
Moyer was on the disabled list with a sore left shoulder for much of a disappointing 1989
season. 1990 saw Moyer spend time in the bullpen before regaining a spot in the starting
rotation.
Moyer was released as a free agent after the 1990 season and was signed by the St. Louis
Cardinals. He made seven starts for the Cardinals in 1991 before being sent to the minor
leagues on May 24, and was released on October 14.
In 1992, Moyer went to spring training with the Chicago Cubs, but was released and spent
the rest of the season in the minor league system of the Detroit Tigers. On December 18,
1992, Moyer signed with the Baltimore Orioles.
Moyer began the 1993 campaign in the Oriole minor leagues, before being called up on
May 30. He tied his career-high total in wins with 12 and a new career-low ERA of 3.43. The
strike-shortened 1994 season was disappointing for him, but he was third on the staff in
innings pitched. In 1995, Moyer again found himself in the Baltimore bullpen, but worked his
way back into the starting rotation. He was released following the 1995 campaign, but his
contract was picked up by the Boston Red Sox on December 22. Moyer started the 1996
season in the Boston bullpen, but made seven starts for the Red Sox by year's end.
