Octavio Dotel, a former MLB pitcher known for his longevity and impact as a reliever, has died at the age of 51 after being injured in the tragic collapse of the Jet Set nightclub in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Dotel was among the 160 people injured in the incident, which claimed at least 44 lives, including Nelsy Cruz, the governor of Montecristi and sister of MLB All-Star Nelson Cruz.
Dotel’s death marks the loss of one of baseball’s most reliable journeyman relievers, whose 15-year career spanned 13 teams — a Major League record. Debuting with the New York Mets in 1999, Dotel quickly became a strikeout artist with a blazing fastball and dominant presence on the mound.
