Luis Antonio Peñalver [pay-nyahl-verr'] (born November 20, 1941) is a former Venezuelan professional baseball pitcher. Listed at 5' 11" (1.82 m.), 170 lb. (77 k.), he batted and threw right handed. Born in Cumaná, Sucre, Peñalver proved to be a reliable and durable pitcher in a long career that spanned from 1960 through 1983, playing for several teams in different leagues across the United States, Mexico and Venezuela. Considered a workhorse who could pitch every year in different leagues, Peñalver relied on an array of breaking pitches and pinpoint control on his straight four-seam fastball. But Peñalver never tried to finesse batters, he did try to intimidate them by using a high leg kick during his windup that resembled Juan Marichal.
