Teddy Higuera was a Mexican-born left-handed pitcher who played for the Milwaukee Brewers for most of his career. He was known for his excellent control and his ability to strike out batters. Higuera was signed by the Brewers in 1983 and made his major league debut in 1985. He quickly established himself as one of the best pitchers in the league, finishing second in the Rookie of the Year voting that year.

Higuera's best season came in 1986, when he went 20-11 with a 2.79 ERA and 245 strikeouts. He was named to the All-Star team and finished second in the Cy Young Award voting. Higuera continued to pitch well over the next few seasons, but injuries began to take their toll. He missed most of the 1989 season with a shoulder injury and was never quite the same pitcher after that.

Despite his injuries, Higuera remained a fan favorite in Milwaukee. He was known for his work ethic and his dedication to the team. He was also a mentor to many of the younger players on the team, including future Hall of Famer Robin Yount.

Higuera retired from baseball in 1995 with a career record of 94-64 and a 3.61 ERA. He was inducted into the Mexican Baseball Hall of Fame in 2002 and remains a beloved figure in Milwaukee to this day.
