Enrique Burgos (born November 23, 1990) is a Panamanian professional baseball pitcher for the Arizona Diamondbacks of Major League Baseball (MLB).

Early life

Enrique Burgos was born in Panama City, Panama. His father, Enrique Burgos, is a left-handed pitcher who played in the minors and majors over a period of 17 years.[1] The younger Burgos preferred soccer to baseball, but took up the latter sport at age 14 and signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks as a non-drafted free agent on July 19, 2007 at the age of 16.[1][2][3]

Career

Burgos was a starting pitcher during most of his seven-plus years in the minor leagues, where he demonstrated the ability to strike out batters but also had a high walk rate. His ERA during his first four seasons was 5.93.[1] In 2012 the Diamondbacks moved him to the bullpen, where his ERA decreased to 2.35 in 2012 and 3.88 in 2013.[1] Between 2013 and 2014, he cut his walk rate over 50 percent, from more than one walk per inning in Low-A South Bend to 4.3 walks per nine innings in High-A Visalia.[4] He was added to the Diamondbacks 40-man roster on October 21, 2014.

He was promoted to the major leagues on April 29, 2015.[5] That night, he retired all three batters that he faced in the ninth inning of a Diamondbacks 9-1 win over the Colorado Rockies.[2]
