Juan Jaime, a pitcher who made several appearances for the Atlanta Braves in 2014 and ’15, has died of a heart attack, according to MLB reporter Hector Gomez.
Jaime was 37.
A native of San Cristobal in the Dominican Republic, Jaime first signed as an amateur free agent with the Montreal Expos at the end of 2004, right before they officially moved to Washington and became the Nationals.
The right-hander pitched in the Nationals’ minor league system from 2006-09 but his career was derailed by arm injuries.
