Los Leones del Escogido, DeLeón's team in the Dominican Winter League, said he died Sunday evening at Cedimat hospital in Santo Domingo.
Selected by the Pirates in the third round of the 1979 amateur draft, DeLeón made his major league debut on July 23, 1983, striking out nine over eight innings in a 5-2 win over visiting San Francisco.
