|  | | | | Johan Santana | | I was born on March 13,1979 in Tovar, Merida, State, Venezuela and was the second of five children. I attended Jordon high where I played baseball as a centerfielder. I didn’t start to pitch until I was a teenager. I was noticed by a Houston Astros scout and was told I had an arm to professionally.
I started my baseball career with the Astros. I made my first major league start on April 7, 2000 and made my first win in relief appearance with Houston, after I was traded to the Marlins then the Twins.
I made my first Major league debut for the Twins on April 3 2001 I signed a five year contract. I went 8/0 at my chance to be a starter for the Twins. My biggest win shutout was in 2003.
My start for the 2004 season was a choppy one but I got the hang of it after a while. In 2004 I became the first pitcher since 1961 to only give up 4hits in 10 starts and led American league in strikeouts. I won my first CY Young in 2004. My ERA for the season was 2.61.
In 2006 I won the pitching crown and was given my second CY Young award. I collected my 1,000th career strikeout in 2006. After the 2006 season I signed a contract with the New York Mets. I am the great Johan Santana.
