Career
[edit]Henriquez signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers as an international free agent in September 2018. He made his professional debut in 2019 with the Dominican Summer League Dodgers.[1] He did not pitch for a team in 2020 due to the season being cancelled because of the Covid-19 pandemic.[2]
Henriquez played for the Arizona Complex League Dodgers and Rancho Cucamonga Quakes in 2021 (4.93 ERA in 34+2⁄3 innings over 13 games) and remained with Rancho Cucamonga in 2022 (4.54 ERA in 35+2⁄3 innings over 14 games).[1] He missed the 2023 season after undergoing Tommy John Surgery.[3]
Henriquez returned from the injury in 2024 to pitch for Rancho Cucamonga (five games), Great Lakes Loons (eight games), Tulsa Drillers (16 games) and Oklahoma City Baseball Club (14 games).[4] Between the four levels, he had a 2.72 ERA in 53 innings with 88 strikeouts.[1]
Henriquez was promoted to the major leagues and made his MLB debut with one inning of relief against the San Diego Padres on September 24, 2024.[5] He struck out the first batter he faced, Donovan Solano.[6] Henriquez pitched in 3+1⁄3 innings over three games, and allowed one earned run while striking out five.[7] He also pitched in five innings in the postseason, one in the Division Series and four in the National League Championship Series, allowing four earned runs on eight hits.[7] He did not make the roster for the World Series.[8]
