Featuring Matias Carrillo with the Florida Marlins, this Matias Carrillo autographed 1995 Donruss #255 Florida Marlins card represents the Mexican-born outfielder during his final Major League season. Carrillo's professional career extended well beyond his time in the Majors, with much of his success coming in the Mexican League.
Carrillo originally signed with the Pittsburgh Pirates organization and made his Major League debut with Pittsburgh in 1991. He appeared in 16 games for a Pirates club that captured the National League East championship and advanced to the NLCS.
After returning to the Mexican League, Carrillo received another Major League opportunity with the Florida Marlins in 1993, the franchise's inaugural season. He appeared in 52 games that year while contributing as an outfielder and pinch hitter.
Carrillo remained with Florida through 1994, appearing in 42 games during the strike-shortened season. Although this 1995 Donruss issue pictures him with the Marlins, his final Major League appearances came the previous year. He subsequently returned to Mexico and continued a lengthy professional playing career.
Carrillo appeared in parts of three Major League seasons with Pittsburgh and Florida and became particularly well known for his accomplishments in Mexican baseball. The 1995 Donruss #255 is an appealing addition for Marlins collectors, Matias Carrillo fans, Mexican baseball collections, early Marlins collections, 1990s Donruss collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
