Former major league relief pitcher Reyes Moronta, a standout for the San Francisco Giants whose career included stints with the Dodgers and Angels, died Sunday. He was 31.
Moronta reportedly died in a vehicle crash in his home country of the Dominican Republic. The Mexican Baseball League and Bravos de León, one of Moronta’s former teams in the league, confirmed his death in separate social media posts Sunday night.
Moronta also played several seasons in the Dominican Republic winter league, and his former teams, the Estrellas Orientales and Gigantes del Cibao, honored him in Instagram posts Monday morning.
