Who is Héctor Wagner?

Héctor Raul Guerrero Wagner is a former Major League Baseball pitcher for the Kansas City Royals from 1990 to 1991.

Wagner originally signed with the Kansas City Royals as an amateur free agent on May 13, 1986. He began his professional career the following year, 1987, as a member of the Royals' rookie minor league team, the GCL Royals. He pitched in 13 games that season, starting 12 of them, and had a win-loss record of 1-3 and an earned run average of 3.06. The following season, Wagner was promoted to the Eugene Emeralds of the Northwest League. He pitched a no-hitter through seven innings in a match against the Spokane Indians on August 14 in a 5-1 victory. He finished the season having pitched 15 games for the Emeralds, going 4-9 with a 3.68 ERA.

The Royals invited Wagner to spring training to start the 1989 season, and although he did not make the final roster, the team noted that he had a shot to make the roster later that season. He spent the season with the Appleton Foxes of the Midwest League, where he pitched in 24 games, won 6 and lost 11, and finished the season with an ERA of 4.56.
