Biographical Information

Luís Fiuza never played professionally but starred for the Cuban national team a few times. In the 1950 Central American and Caribbean Games, he went 2-0 for the Gold Medalists. He was 2-0 again for Cuba in the 1951 Pan American Games, helping them win the first Pan American Games baseball Gold. He led the team in wins, but was one behind tourney leader Stanley Johnson. He went 3-0 with a 1.78 ERA when Cuba won the 1953 Amateur World Series; he was again one win shy of the tournament pacesetter, in this case Andrés Quintero.
