Career highlights and awards

Jeffrey Charles D'Amico (born December 27, 1975, in St. Petersburg, Florida) is a former Major League Baseball pitcher from 1996 to 2004.

D'Amico, sometimes nicknamed "Big Daddy", was a starting pitcher who played for the Milwaukee Brewers, New York Mets, Pittsburgh Pirates, and Cleveland Indians.

His career record was 45 wins - 52 losses, 498 strikeouts and a 4.61 ERA. He did enjoy one truly excellent year, 2000, during which his ERA hovered around 2.00 for much of the season and he contended for the NL ERA title. Needing just a few innings to qualify for the title on his last start of the season, he surpassed the 162 inning minimum threshold, but in the process gave up enough runs to lose the title. He was expected to be the ace of the Brewers staff in 2001, but injuries kept him from ever returning to form.

In 2000 D'Amico was elected to the Poopencurry Hall of Fame^[1].
