[edit] Biographical Information

Before the All-Star break in 1990, Jack Armstrong went 11-3. He was named the starting pitcher in the All-Star Game, but then only won one more game the rest of the season, against six losses. By the time the post-season rolled around, he had been bounced from the Cincinnati Reds' starting rotation, but he did make one appearance in the 1990 World Series, pitching 3 innings of one-hit relief in Game 2, which the Reds won in 10 innings. He was selected by the Florida Marlins in the 1992 Expansion Draft.

He threw a low-90s fastball, a curve and a slider.
