About Len Picota
- Lenin Alberto Picota (born July 23, 1966 in Panama) is a former professional baseball pitcher.
- He played two seasons in the Korea Baseball Organization for the Hanwha Eagles in 2002–2003.
- During his career, Picota has gone by multiple names, his full name (Lenin) as well as two shortened versions (Len or Leny). Picota — a 6 feet 1 inch (1.85 m), 185 pounds (84 kg) right-hander — was a starting pitching prospect in the St.
- Louis Cardinals farm system who got as high as AAA but never reached the majors.
- He was signed as a free-agent on December 18, 1983. Perhaps his best season in the minors was 1986, with the Savannah Cardinals.
- That year, he went 6–2 with a 2.00 ERA in 85 innings.
- Although he walked 67 and struck out only 45, the fact that he gave up only 55 hits attributed to his success. 1988 was also a good season for him.
- With the St.
- Petersburg Cardinals, he went 11–10 with a 2.89 ERA in 143 innings.
- He only gave up 130 hits that year, but he only struck out 65 batters.
- Apparently, he was not a strikeout pitcher. In 2006 Picota represented Panama in the World Baseball Classic.
- He has played a lot of international ball, whether it be in Korea, Mexico or Chinese Taipei.
- He has also played independent baseball with the Nashua Pride. In 2007, he pitched three innings in the Pan-American Games, striking out two batters and allowing two runs. Picota was signed by the Montreal Expos at one point in his career after playing foreign ball for seven years.
- He was released before Opening Day. Picota was announced as manager for the Saraperos de Saltillo of the Mexican Baseball League for the 2017-18 season.
