Félix Abraham Hernández García, widely known as "King Félix," was born on April 8, 1986, in Valencia, Venezuela. While occasionally referred to by his middle name, Abraham, he is best known by his nickname, which reflects both his talent and commanding presence on the mound.
Baseball began as a hobby for Hernández before becoming his professional pursuit. Demonstrating extraordinary athletic ability from a young age, he frequently played against much older competitors. At just 14 years old, his pitching skills caught the attention of scouts, and by the age of 16, he had signed a professional contract with the Seattle Mariners.
Hernández made his Major League Baseball debut on August 4, 2005, with the Seattle Mariners, a team he remained loyal to throughout his career. His choice to join the Mariners was also influenced by the presence of his idol, a player he admired who was with the club at the time. Following his debut, his career took off, and he quickly emerged as one of the most dominant pitchers in the league.
As of the conclusion of the 2016 MLB season, Hernández held a win–loss record of 154–109. He maintained an earned run average (ERA) of 3.16 and had accumulated 2,264 strikeouts. Known for his skillful use of the sinker and slider, he became one of baseball’s most esteemed pitchers.
In 2004, he was named the Mariners’ Minor League Pitcher of the Year. Throughout his career, Hernández has received numerous accolades, including the AL Cy Young Award in 2010.
