Before BYU

Prepped at Edgewood High where he was All-Sierra League two years in a row and All-CIF and All-San Gabriel Valley ... drafted in June 1980 by the St. Louis Cardinals but came to Provo instead

After BYU

After converting from an infielder to pitcher in his three seasons at BYU, Aguilera was chosen in the third round of the 1983 draft. The right-hander went on to become a two-time World Series champion, first with the Mets in 1986 and again with the Twins in 1991 in a career spanning 16 seasons. A three-time All-Star from 1991-93 who began his career as a starter before moving to a reliever, Aguilera earned 318 saves, good for eighth in MLB history at the time he retired. In 2008, Aguilera was inducted into the Minnesota Twins Hall of Fame.
