Orioles minor league pitcher Miguel Gonzalez died Monday from injuries sustained in a car accident in the Dominican Republic on Saturday.
Gonzalez was just 21 years old. “Our organization is deeply saddened by the tragic passing of Miguel Gonzalez,” Orioles executive vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette said in a statement. “Miguel was beloved by his teammates and coaches in the Dominican Republic. Our thoughts are with his family and friends during this very difficult time.” Gonzalez joined the Orioles as a non-drafted free agent in 2014. He pitched for the club’s Dominican Summer League team for the past three seasons.
