Yoervis Medina, a former pitcher for the Seattle Mariners and the Chicago Cubs, has died. He was 37.
Authorities received a call regarding a traffic incident on the night of Friday, Oct. 30, near the Via Veneto Shopping Center in Carabobo, Venezuela, according to local outlet Radio America.
A preliminary report stated, per the outlet, that Medina suffered a heart attack while driving his vehicle, causing him to crash into others that were parked at the shopping center. Upon arrival, authorities confirmed that the "citizen" was without vital signs.
On Oct. 31, Medina's former team, the Everett AquaSox, confirmed his death. "Sad news coming out of Venezuela, former AquaSox pitcher Yoervis Medina (2010) has passed away at the age of 37," the team wrote on X. "He pitched in the Major Leagues between 2013 and 2015. RIP."
Medina, who signed with Seattle as an amateur free agent out of Venezuela in 2005, moved to the U.S. to play for the AquaSox for the 2010 season.
He was then called to the big leagues midway through the 2013 season and spent the next three seasons playing for the Seattle Mariners, where he posted a 2.82 ERA in 141 relief appearances. He totaled 140 strikeouts in 137 innings for Seattle.
"We are saddened to hear of the passing of former Mariners pitcher Yoervis Medina," the Mariners wrote in an Oct 31 social media statement. "We extend our deepest sympathies to his family and friends."
