After being traded to the Florida Marlins, Dontrelle Willis made his first major league start in 2003. Dontrelle's wacky delivery and wicked fastball caused huge problems for opposing hitters. He was selected to the National League's All-Star team and was named the N.L. Rookie Of The Year after finishing the season with a record of 14-10. Willis finished off an incredible rookie season by helping the Florida Marlins defeat the New York Yankees in the 2003 World Series. After a sophmore slump in his second year, Willis returned to his dominating form in 2005. Willis led the National League with 22 wins and became the first black pitcher in 15 years to win 20 games. This feat made Willis the 13th member of the Black Aces - the elite club of African-American pitchers who have won 20 or more games. Dontrelle's strange high-leg delivery continues to bewilder even the toughest hitters and has made him a favorite to win the 2005 National League Cy Young Award.
This black Rawlings PRO200-9JB glove was used by Dontrelle Willis during the 2006 baseball season. Embroidered on the thumb in red with "D.Will", this glove exhibits moderate evidence of use (wear in the pocket, broken in). There is a removable Rawlings sweat band that has been added to the wrist strap. A great game used glove from one of the most exciting young pitchers in the game today.
