A pitcher, he won the Cy Young Award in 2005 and was a player on four MLB All-Star teams (1998, 2005, 2013, and 2016). Bartolo grew up in Altamira, Dominican Republic, where he met his future wife at the age of 13. From the age of 9 to 14, he worked alongside his father harvesting coffee beans and fruit.
