Camilo Pascual left Cuba in 1951 at the age of 17, and a year later, he was part of the Washington Senators farm system. Pasucal was impressive, and he made the main roster in Washington in 1954.

Pascual was largely unimpressive for his first few years, but he had his coming of age in 1959 when he went 17-10 and led the American League in Complete Games (17) and FIP (2.44).  The Cuban was an All-Star for the first time and would be in four of the next five seasons.

The Senators relocated to Minnesota, becoming the Twins in 1961, and in the first three years of the franchise's relocation, he was the league-leader in Strikeouts.  The Twins won the American League Pennant in 1965, of which Pascual was a part of, but he was no longer the same Pitcher by this time.

He was traded back to the city of Washington and the new version of the Senators at the end of the 1966 season, and he had a pair of 12 Win years.  He finished his career with Cincinnati, Los Angeles, and Cleveland, retiring in 1971 with a 174-170 record with 2,167 Strikeouts.
