Álexander Manuel Colomé Pérez (born December 31, 1988) is a Dominican professional baseball pitcher for the Tampa Bay Rays of Major League Baseball (MLB).
Professional career
Colomé signed with the Tampa Bay Rays as a free agent. The Rays added him to their 40-man roster on November 18, 2011.[1]
The Rays promoted Colomé to the major leagues on May 29, 2013.[2] He started 3 games, posting a 2.25 earned run average (ERA).
On March 24, 2014, Colomé was suspended 50 games for failing a random drug test.[3] Colome ended the year 2-0 with a 2.66 ERA in 5 games, 3 of which were starts. Colomé saw his first significant playing time in 2016, most of it due to a switch to the bullpen, where he finished with 43 appearances and a 3.94 ERA.
In 2016, Colome was named the full-time closer for the Rays due to an injury to Brad Boxberger. He kept the role as closer. He finished the season with 37 saves, fourth in the AL, and ended the season with a 1.91 ERA.[4] Colome was also selected to his first career All-Star game.
Personal life
He is the nephew of former Rays reliever Jesús Colomé.[5]
