Alfonso Pulido

Alfonso Pulido Manzo (born January 23, 1957) is a Mexican former Major League Baseball pitcher. Pulido played parts of three seasons in Major League Baseball, with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1983–1984 and with the New York Yankees in 1986, appearing in 12 career games with a 1–1 record.

Before signing with Major League Baseball, Pulido originally pitched for the Mexico City Reds of the Mexican League. In 1983, he won 17 games for the Reds while only losing three. After winning three games in the Mexican League playoffs, the Pittsburgh Pirates signed him to a contract, and brought him into the major leagues at the end of August 1983, saying that he had "Valenzuela-type stuff". in his only appearance that season. He spent most of the 1984 season in the minor leagues with the Hawaii Islanders, winning 18 games, losing six, and posting an earned run average (ERA) of 2.54. In his lone major league appearance of 1984, he pitched for two innings against the Cardinals, allowing two runs on three hits. He made his season debut later that month and pitched ten games in his final major league season. He played his final major league game on September 1, finishing the season with a win and a loss in ten appearances, with a 4.70 ERA. He spent the full 1987 season with the Clippers, playing in 34 games, winning nine and losing five.

After 1987, Pulido returned to the Mexican League, and by 1990 he was out of baseball.
