  • No-hitter versus Baltimore Orioles on April 15, 1987

Juan Manuel Nieves Cruz (born January 5, 1965 in Las Lomas, Puerto Rico) is a former pitcher in Major League Baseball who, on April 15, 1987 versus the Baltimore Orioles, became the second-youngest player in major league history to throw a no-hitter, and so far the only Milwaukee Brewer to do so. [1]

After playing for the Milwaukee Brewers from 1986 to 1988, he suffered a career-ending arm injury. He was signed by the Brewers after graduating from Avon Old Farms school in Connecticut. He is currently the bullpen coach for the Chicago White Sox.
