Overall Career

Seanez, who made nine relief appearances for the Red Sox in 2003, posted a 7-1 record with a 2.69 ERA for the San Diego Padres in 2005, setting career highs in wins (7), games pitched (57), innings (60.1) and strikeouts (84), while his 2.69 ERA was his lowest since posting a 2.66 mark with the Dodgers in 1994. With only 22 walks issued, Seanez averaged nearly four strikeouts per walk. He limited opponents to a .222 batting average, including a .212 mark against right handed hitters, and compiled a WHIP of 1.18. He also ranked second among National League relievers with 12.5 strikeouts per nine innings and tied for second in the league with seven relief wins.

In a 15-season career, Seanez is 27-20 with 11 saves and a 4.12 ERA in 380 games. He has a 2.07 SO/BB (417-to-201), including an average of 9.5 SO/9.

But beyond the numbers, Seanez has shown the ability to overcome numerous injuries, combining weightlifting with some mixed martial arts during his offseason workout regimen. The reliever was one of several setup options for Boston manager Terry Francona in the 2006 season, few of which were effective. On August 19, 2006, Seanez was designated for assignment by the Red Sox. On August 31st, he signed with the San Diego Padres.

Seanez signed a minor league contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers on January 23, 2007.

Trains with professional Ultimate Fighting Championship fighters
Smiling Joe Hesketh made you love Rudy Seanez.
Could never decide which length sleeve to wear (long or short) so opted for the 3/4 length, raising the question: "Would a commitment to a traditional sleeve length have improved his pitching?"
