Johan Santana (Amazing Athletes)

By Jeffrey Zuehlke

Book Overview

Growing up in rural Venezuela, shy Johan Santana didn't seem like a natural athlete. But Johan loved baseball. He practiced often and developed a powerful throwing arm. While still a teenager, Johan moved to the United States to play in the minor leagues. After a trade landed him with the Minnesota Twins, Johan worked to move up the team's roster. This Cy Young Award winner has since become the Twins' ace starting pitcher with some of the best stats in baseball. Book jacket.
