He made it to the majors in 1992 with the California Angels and played 4 seasons. In total he played over 14 years of professional baseball.
The 2015 season marked his 30th year in professional baseball. In 2014 Angels pitchers set a franchise record with over 1,300 strikeouts.
The Angels tweeted out their respects to Butcher for his contributions.
