Former major league pitcher Reyes Moronta, who dominated out of the San Francisco Giants’ bullpen for two seasons, died Sunday. He was 31.
According to multiple reports, Moronta died in a traffic accident in his home country of the Dominican Republic.
Moronta’s death was confirmed on social media early Monday morning by the Mexican Baseball League and by the Bravos de Leon, his former team in the league.
Moronta spent parts of seven seasons with four different major league teams, including four-plus seasons with the Giants, from 2017 to 2023. The right-hander appeared in two games last season with the Los Angeles Angels before signing earlier this year with the Bravos de Leon, who released him last week.
