Hiram Burgos (born August 4, 1987) is a Puerto Rican professional baseball pitcher who is currently a free agent. He attended the Puerto Rico Baseball Academy and High School and Bethune-Cookman College. In 2013, he made his Major League Baseball debut with the Brewers.
Early life
When he was three years old his parents, Hiram Burgos Delgado and Ivette Irizarry Arce, introduced him to the sport by visiting baseball parks.[1] Burgos expected to be selected in the 2008 Major League Baseball draft after recording a 9-1 season while pitching for Bethune-Cookman University, but was disappointed after going undrafted.[1] As a consequence of this, he decided to complete his bachelor's degree following the insistence of his mother.[1]
Professional career
Burgos was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 6th round of the 2009 Major League Baseball draft. The Brewers added him to their 40-man roster after the 2012 season.
The Brewers promoted Burgos to the major leagues on April 19, 2013[2] and subsequently made his major league debut on April 20, 2013. His first career start came the same day at home against the Chicago Cubs. On May 11, Burgos had an ineffective start against the Cincinnati Reds, allowing 12 runs (10 earned) in just 3 innings pitched. A day after his sixth start of the season on May 21, Burgos was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a right shoulder impingement.[3]
Burgos was released by the Brewers on September 2, 2014, and signed a minor league contract with them on January 30, 2015.[4]
