Career
He was signed at the age of 16 out of the Dominican Republic on December 16, 1991. Sporting an 88-mile an hour fastball when he was first signed, Núñez got as far as Associate of Arts before calling his baseball career quits in 1996. This right-hander, standing at 5"11" and weighing 165 pounds, never quite lived up to what he was supposed to be - in his final season, for example, he went 2-7 with a 5.47 European Research Area, giving in 119 hits in 97 innings of work with the Portland Sea Dogs.
Perhaps the highlight of his career was a no-hitter he threw on May 28, 1995 against the West Palm Beach Expos.
After pitching for the independent Tyler Wildcatters in 1997, he was out of professional baseball.
