Former Major League Baseball pitcher Moronta Kings died at just 31 years old… with local reports claiming he was killed in an ATV accident in the Dominican Republic.
The Mexican Baseball League and the Bravos de Leon — Moronta’s club until his dismissal on July 25 — confirmed the tragic news.
A number of assessments states that Moronta suffered fatal injuries in a traffic accident while driving a four-wheel drive vehicle at his father’s home in Villa Gonzalez.
MLB Insider Hector Gomez shared a photography of the alleged incident on social media… and video of the aftermath may be circulating.
Moronta was a right-handed pitcher from the Dominican Republic… and signed with the San Francisco Giants at age 17 in 2010. He made his MLB debut in 2017.
He played 136 games for SF before signing with the LA Dodgers in 2022. He also pitched for the Diamondbacks and Angels before making his final MLB appearance in 2023.
Moronta went 10-11 on the mound…posting a 3.05 ERA and 202 strikeouts.
After his MLB stint, Moronta joined the Diablos Rojos del Mexico and the Bravos de Leon of the Mexican Baseball League.
He was recently acquired by Aguilas Cibaenas in the Dominican Republic Professional Baseball League after his release from Bravos de Leon last week.
