}} Emilio Antonio "Tony" Fossas Morejon (born September 23, 1958) is a former left-handed Major League Baseball pitcher during the late 1980s and 1990s. He was signed as a 12th round pick by the Texas Rangers during the 1979 Major League Baseball Amateur Draft. The previous year he was drafted by the Minnesota Twins, but decided not to sign with the team, instead finishing his college studies and collegiate career at University of South Florida – Tampa. After nearly becoming a career minor leaguer, at the age of 31 he received a promotion to the Majors in 1988 with the Rangers,[1] who released him during the offseason. Although he only pitched 5⅔ innings that initial year, Fossas eventually became an entrenched yeoman setup pitcher with the Milwaukee Brewers from 1989 to 1990, the Boston Red Sox from 1991 to 1994, and the St. Louis Cardinals from 1995 to 1997. Fossas' greatest success came as a left-handed specialist reliever, or LOOGY, a pitcher who was brought in expressly to face one or two particularly dangerous left-handed batters (during Fossas's tenure, this included such players as Fred McGriff, Ken Griffey Jr., Barry Bonds, and George Brett). For example, against the hall of famers, Brett and Griffey, Fossas held them to only 6 hits in 42 at bats, which is a .143 batting average. As a left-handed reliever with an unorthodox delivery, he was well-suited to this role, and often faced only one or two batters in each appearance. With Boston in 1992, Fossas made 60 appearances, but due to his specialized use he pitched a total of less than 30 innings. In 1998 he pitched for the Seattle Mariners, Chicago Cubs and returned to the Texas Rangers in what would be his last full year before finishing his career with the New York Yankees in 1999. He became a pitching coach for Florida Atlantic University Owls in 2005. Tony lives in Florida with his wife Pura, daughter Keila, son Mark.[2] He became the pitching coach for the minor league Dayton Dragons in 2009.[3] References1. ^{{cite book|last1=Pietrusza|first1=David|title=Baseball : the biographical encyclopedia|date=2000|publisher=Total/Sports Illustrated|location=Kingston, NY [u.a.]|isbn=1892129345|page=371}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.fausports.com/sports/m-basebl/mtt/fossas_tony00.html|title=2019 Baseball Roster - Florida Atlantic University|website=www.fausports.com}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/roster/page.jsp?ymd=20100305&content_id=8688902&vkey=roster_t459&fext=.jsp&sid=t459|title=Dayton Dragons|website=MiLB.com}} External links{{Baseballstats|mlb=114325|br=f/fossato01|fangraphs=1004242&position=P|cube=Tony-Fossas}} or [https://web.archive.org/web/20051127005243/http://www.baseballlibrary.com/baseballlibrary/ballplayers/F/Fossas_Tony.stm Page on Baseball Library.com] or Stats at Baseball Almanac.com or Florida Atlantic University bio{{DEFAULTSORT:Fossas, Tony}} 24 : 1958 births|Living people|Sportspeople from Havana|Asheville Tourists players|Boston Red Sox players|Burlington Rangers players|Chicago Cubs players|Columbus Clippers players|Denver Zephyrs players|Edmonton Trappers players|Gulf Coast Rangers players|Iowa Cubs players|Major League Baseball pitchers|Major League Baseball players from Cuba|Milwaukee Brewers players|New York Yankees players|Pawtucket Red Sox players|Oklahoma City 89ers players|Oklahoma City RedHawks players|St. Louis Cardinals players|South Florida Bulls baseball players|Seattle Mariners players|Texas Rangers players|Tulsa Drillers players |
