Mark Fidrych, the celebrated Baseball Player from Massachusetts, is projected to have a net worth of $12 million by 2024. Fidrych made a name for himself in the sporting world with his exceptional talent and unique pitching style, which earned him the nickname "The Bird." Born in Worcester, Massachusetts, his exceptional performance as a pitcher during his rookie season with the Detroit Tigers in 1976 skyrocketed him to fame. Although his playing career was unfortunately cut short due to injuries, Fidrych's impact on the game and his loyal following have contributed to his financial success over the years.
2-time All-Star pitcher for the Detroit Tigers from 1976 to 1980; won the 1976 American League Rookie of the Year Award after leading the MLB in ERA; career was shortened due to injuries.
He was a 10th round pick of the Tigers in 1974 after stellar careers at Algonquin Regional High School in Massachusetts and Worcester Academy.
His tall stature, lanky frame, and humorous persona (he often talked to his baseballs) earned him the nickname of "The Bird," after the "Sesame Street" character, Big Bird.
He and his wife, Ann, had a daughter named Jessica.
He was the 1976 runner-up for the Cy Young honor, which was ultimately awarded to Jim Palmer.
