Félix Hernández
Félix Abraham Graham Hernández García (born April 8, 1986), nicknamed "King Félix", is a Venezuelan-American professional baseball pitcher in the Atlanta Braves organization. He previously played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Seattle Mariners. Hernández made his MLB debut in 2005. On August 15, 2012, Hernández threw the 23rd perfect game in MLB history against the Tampa Bay Rays in a 1–0 victory at Safeco Field. It was also the first perfect game in Seattle Mariners franchise history. His perfect game remains the most recent in Major League Baseball. On April 23, 2016, Hernández claimed the record for most strikeouts by a Mariners pitcher when he struck out Rafael Ortega of the Los Angeles Angels for his 2,163rd strikeout as a Mariner pitcher. The previous record of 2,162 strikeouts had been held by Randy Johnson. His 146th win, which occurred on May 9, gave him the club record in that category as well, surpassing Jamie Moyer.

Felix Hernandez opts out of Orioles deal; has he thrown his final MLB pitch?

Veteran right-hander Felix Hernandez has opted out of his minor-league contract with the Baltimore Orioles and become a free agent, the team announced Monday. Hernandez suffered an elbow injury early in spring training, and although he recently threw a bullpen session, he simply ran out of time to win a spot in the O's rotation.

Felix Hernandez: Parts ways with O's

Hernandez (elbow) opted out of his minor-league contract with the Orioles on Monday and became a free agent, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. After joining the Orioles for camp as a non-roster invitee, Hernandez appeared to be tracking toward a spot in the Opening Day rotation, but an elbow injury suffered two weeks ago scuttled those plans. Though Hernandez has since resumed throwing off a mound, he apparently wasn't interested in sticking around at the Orioles' alternate training site to complete his rehab program. Once healthy, Hernandez could look to rejoin the Orioles if no better offers emerge for the 2010 American League Cy Young winner.

Felix Hernandez opts out of contract with Orioles

Felix Hernandez has chosen to opt out of his contract with the Baltimore Orioles and become a free agent, per MLB Network’s Jon Heyman (via Twitter). For awhile this spring, it looked like King Felix would indeed win an opportunity to begin the season in the Orioles rotation, but an elbow injury knocked him out of action in mid-March and undermined his efforts. Had he made the roster, he would have been in line for a $1M salary.
