Andy Benes is one of the most popular and richest Baseball Player who was born on August 20, 1967 in Indiana, Indiana, United States. Major league pitcher who is best known for his time with teams like the San Diego Padres and St. Louis Cardinals. He was named an All-Star in 1993 as a member of the Padres.
He played under manager and legendary outfielder Lou Pinella as a member of the 1995 Seattle Mariners.
Benes was the first player selected in the 1988 Major League Baseball draft after playing college baseball at the University of Evansville. Benes pitched well enough in his first year to make it to the majors and be named National League Rookie Pitcher of the Year by The Sporting News. Benes was an All-Star in 1993 during a 15–15 season with the Padres, and led the Majors in losses with 14 and in strikeouts with 189 the next season. Benes finished third in the Cy Young Award balloting in 1996 after an 18–10, 3.83 earned run average season. After the 1997 season, Benes agreed to sign a 5-year $30 million dollar contract to return to the Cardinals. Unfortunately, the contract was signed after the deadline for players to re-sign with their 1997 teams. Benes would then have to wait until May 1 to re-sign. Instead, Benes became one of the first players in Diamondbacks history when he signed as a free agent prior to the 1998 season and threw the first pitch in the history of the franchise.
In a 2004 column for The Sporting News, pitcher Todd Jones wrote that Benes had a habit of gritting his teeth when preparing to throw a slider, a tell that some hitters exploited.
His brother, Alan Benes, was a major league pitcher who was also his teammate on the St. Louis Cardinals.
