starting rotation. The Reds traded four players, including three prospects
, to acquire Latos before the 2012 season.

Latos suffered a knee injury in 2014, which reduced his effectiveness. The Marlins traded for Latos before the 2015 season and then traded him to the Dodgers in July 2015. He signed with the White Sox for 2016, but was released during the season, and finished the year with the Nationals. He briefly appeared with the Blue Jays in 2017.

Early life

Latos is the only child[1] born to Lisa and Rich Latos.[2] He is originally from Alexandria, Virginia.[3] When Latos was 12 years old, his grandfather insisted that he play in a baseball tournament rather than stay at his bedside the day he died.[4]

High school career

Latos attended Coconut Creek High School in Coconut Creek, Florida, despite being recruited to attend high schools with more prestigious baseball programs.[2] He was named the ace starting pitcher of the Coconut Creek baseball team's as a freshman. That year, he pitched to a 3–4 win–loss record and a 3.68 earned run average (ERA), with 41 strikeouts and 26 walks in 39+2⁄3 innings pitched. His fastball reached 88–89 miles per hour (142–143 km/h). He improved his fastball command and velocity as a sophomore, reaching 93 miles per hour (150 km/h) and his statistics improved to a 5–2 record, a 1.23 ERA, 89 strikeouts, and 21 walks in 68 innings.[5]

Heading into his junior year, Latos improved his training regimen and diet. He pitched to a 7–4 record with a 0.76 ERA as a junior with 128 strikeouts and 17 walks in 83 innings. Eleven of his thirteen starts were

honorable mention by the Florida Sports Writers Association for the All-State team.[6] As a senior, Latos had a 7–3 record with 110 strikeouts and a 0.64 ERA in 69+2⁄3 innings pitched.[7] He appeared in the Broward County Athletics Association All-Star Game,[8] and was named South Florida Sun-Sentinel's player of the year.[9]

College career

Latos committed to attend the University of Oklahoma to play college baseball for the Oklahoma Sooners baseball team. However, many scouts expected Latos to be a first-round pick in the 2006 Major League Baseball (MLB) Draft. SchoolSports.com ranked Latos the fifth-best high school pitcher available in the 2006 Major League Baseball draft.[5] The San Diego Padres selected Latos in the 11th round (333rd overall). He fell in the draft since his personality made him difficult to handle in high school, as he was considered immature, often yelled at teammates who made errors and reacted poorly when the umpire made a call with which he disagreed.[1]

After the draft, Latos demanded a $3 million

2007 MLB draft, they sent scout Joe Bochy to observe every start Latos made.[1] Latos had a 10–3 win–loss record and a 2.03 ERA.[10] Feeling that Latos was worth the gamble, the Padres paid Latos $1.25 million a few days before he would have re-entered the draft in 2007.[1][11]

Previously the mark had been set by Greg Maddux (1993–94) and Mike Scott (1986), who had such streaks lasting 14 starts.[24] On the season, Latos pitched to a 14–10 win–loss record in 31 games started, with a 2.92 (ERA), 1.08 walks plus hits per inning pitched (WHIP), and 189 strikeouts in 184+2⁄3 innings pitched.
