José Núñez (right-handed pitcher)

José Núñez Jiménez, born on January 13, 1964, is a Dominican former professional baseball pitcher. He was signed by the Kansas City Royals as a free agent in 1983 and pitched in Major League Baseball for the Toronto Blue Jays from 1987 to 1989 and for the Chicago Cubs in 1990. After leaving the major leagues he enjoyed a long and prosperous career in Asia, playing for the Uni-President Lions from 1993 to 1995, the Fukuoka Daiei Hawks from 1996 to 1997, Taichung Agan in 1998 and the Hanwha Eagles in 2001. He shares the Taiwanese professional baseball record for the most wins in a single season, 22 in 1993, with Chen Yi-Hsin. He is now a pitching coach in the Milwaukee Brewers minor league system. The Major League Baseball player register lists him as a right-handed pitcher born in Jarabacoa, which separates him from the left-handed José Núñez born in 1979.
