Overall Career

Roger Moret (born Rogelio Moret Torres) streaked across the skies of Red Sox Nation during the early 1970s like a comet with a stutter step: often brilliant but sometimes wild. Possessing obvious talent, he had some difficulty in harnessing it. Once established with the Boston Red Sox in 1973, he alternated two excellent seasons with a mediocre one. Still, he was able to compile an admirable cumulative ERA (3.43) and a 41-18 record with the Red Sox, ranking him among the best pitchers of the decade for Boston. Twice he led the American League in winning percentage (1973, 1975). Then he went away from us, traded first by the Red Sox then, slowly and tragically, leaving baseball and sliding into the dark morass of mental illness.

Moret's Moments in the Sun

• In his three full years with the Red Sox (1973-1975), he fashioned a 36-15 record.
• Moret’s Fenway Park record of 18-7 was one of the very best records ever for a Red Sox lefthander

Trivia

• His first major league win occurred on his 21st birthday, against the Yankees on September 16, pitching four innings of shutout ball in relief of Sonny Siebert.
• Bernie Carbo's home run in the 8th inning of Game 6 of the 1975 World Series came as a pich-hitter for Rogelio Moret. Moret had just pitched a 1-2-3 inning in relief of Luis Tiant
