Career highlights and awards

Dontrelle Wayne Willis (born January 12, 1982), nicknamed "the D-Train",[1] is an American former professional baseball pitcher. A left-hander, he played in Major League Baseball for the Florida Marlins, Detroit Tigers, Arizona Diamondbacks, and Cincinnati Reds. Willis was notable for his success during his first few years in the major leagues and for his unconventional pitching style, which included a high leg kick and exaggerated twisting away from the batter.[2] He was named the 2003 National League Rookie of the Year and won the World Series in the same year.

Willis joined the television broadcast team of the Los Angeles Dodgers in May 2022. He is also a regular studio and game analyst for Fox Sports 1 and AppleTV+.[3]
