Career
Ynoa with the Mets in 2015

New York Mets

Ynoa signed with the New York Mets as an international free agent in November 2009. He made his professional debut that season with the Dominican Summer League Mets. Pitching for the Savannah Sand Gnats in 2013, Ynoa was named the South Atlantic League Pitcher of the Year, after winning 15 games and recording a 2.72 earned run average (ERA).[1] Ynoa started 2014 with the St. Lucie Mets and was promoted to the Double-A Binghamton Mets during the season.[2]

Ynoa was called up to the major leagues for the first time on August 13, 2016.[3] That night, he pitched a perfect 11th inning against the San Diego Padres at Citi Field to record a win in his major league debut.[4]

Baltimore Orioles

On February 10, 2017, Ynoa was traded to the Baltimore Orioles for cash considerations.[5] Ynoa made his debut with the Orioles on May 5 after being brought in from the bullpen in the first inning after Orioles' starter Wade Miley left the game with a wrist contusion. Ynoa threw six scoreless innings, allowing six hits while striking out five batters. It was Ynoa's longest career outing. He earned the victory in a 4-2 Orioles win. He missed the entire 2018 season with a right shin stress reaction. He was outrighted on November 1, then signed a minor league deal for the 2019 season.

Ynoa started the 2019 season with the Norfolk Tides. The Orioles promoted him to the major leagues on April 21.[6] When his record fell to 1–10 as a result of a 3–2 defeat to the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre on September 25, he and David Hess became the first pair of teammates with double-digit losses and no more than one win since Jack Nabors and Tom Sheehan of the 1916 Philadelphia Athletics.[7] Ynoa was outrighted off the Orioles roster on November 4, and elected free agency.[8]

Tokyo Swallows

On December 6, 2019, Ynoa signed with the Tokyo Yakult Swallows of Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB).[9]

On June 23, 2020, Ynoa made his NPB debut. On October 12, 2020, he became a free agent.[10]

CTBC Brothers

On December 27, 2020, Ynoa signed with the CTBC Brothers of the Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL).[11]
