Francisco Rodriguez (born December 11,1972) is an American former professional baseball pitcher who played in Major League Baseball.
Rodriguez won the Dick Howser Trophy in 1991. At the time of the award,Rodriguez was playing for Howard Junior College in Big Spring,Texas. As the equivalent of the Heisman Trophy for college football,The Dick Howser Trophy is the annual national award for the outstanding collegiate baseball player. Since 1991,no other junior college baseball player has won the award. Rodriguez was an outstanding shortstop and pitcher for the Howard College Hawks and he led his team to the 1991 National Junior College World Series Championship held annually in Grand Junction,Colorado.
Rodriguez was drafted as a shortstop by the Boston Red Sox in the second round of the 1990 amateur draft. An agreement was reached a few weeks into the 1991 season,after which he was assigned to the Class A-Short Season Elmira Pioneers. When his new teammates greeted him at the Elmira-Corning Regional Airport,the Brooklyn native was wearing clothes that bore the New York Yankees logo. After Rodriguez advanced to Class A Lynchburg Red Sox,the Red Sox realized he had greater value as a pitcher,a position he quickly began playing. He made his major league debut for the Red Sox in 1995.
Soon after,he was traded to the Minnesota Twins for closer Rick Aguilera. He did not pitch well for the Twins,posting a 25–32 record with the team in over three years of service. The Seattle Mariners claimed him off of waivers in May 1999. He played for the Mariners through the end of the 2000 season. He played for the Cincinnati Reds in 2001 and has not pitched in the majors since. He has a career record of 29–39 and an ERA of 5.53.
In 2008,he returned to pro baseball playing for the Newark Bears of the Atlantic League where he pitched a 2–1 record,with a 7.79 ERA.
As of 2021 [update] ,Rodriguez is an assistant coach for the baseball team at SUNY Maritime College in the Bronx,New York. [1] [2]

An All-American team is an honorary sports team composed of the best amateur players of a specific season for each position—who in turn are given the honorific "All-America" and typically referred to as "All-American athletes",or simply "All-Americans". Although the honorees generally do not compete as a unit,the term is used in U.S. team sports to refer to players who are selected by members of the national media. Walter Camp selected the first All-America team in the early days of American football in 1889. In 1950,the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) selected its first All-American baseball team. It has since chosen All-American teams and a player of the year for each division. Collegiate Baseball selects All-American,Freshman All-American and High School All-American teams. Baseball America magazine selects pre-season and post-season All-American teams and College Player of the Year honorees.
