A three-time Cy Young Award winner, a one-time Players' Coach Award Winner for overall Player of the Year (1999) and four-time Players' Choice Award winner for Outstanding Pitcher in his league (1997, 1998, 1999, 2000), Pedro won 20 games for the second time in his career in 2002 and was the Cy Young Award runner-up to Barry Zito.

A teammate of his older brother Ramon when he joined the Dodgers in 1992, Pedro was traded to the Expos before the 1994 season and soon emerged as one of baseball's most feared pitchers, with a sensational mix of fastball, curveball and split-fingered fastball. Pedro won double-figure games from 1992 to 2000. In 1999, his best all-around year, he was the runner-up in the MVP voting to Ivan Rodriguez after he went 23-4 with a miniscule 2.07 ERA.

He pitched Boston all the way to the ALCS, where the Red Sox fell to the Yankees. Pedro has led his league in ERA four times and is the active leader in that department with a career mark of 2.62. He has led his league in strikeouts three times and has earned All-Star status six times, including 1999, when he captured All-Star Game MVP honors in a game played at his home stadium of Fenway Park.

Pedro had pitched three one-hitters in his career and fanned a career-high 17 batters in one game twice - September 10, 1999 and May 6, 2000.
