A hard-throwing 205-pound right-hander, Estevis was a standout at Pan American College in the late 1950s who went on to post some great years in the minor leagues.
An Alamo native, Estevis hurled for the Broncs from 1956-58 and then went to the pros, winning Texas League Pitcher of the Year award in 1963 with 16 wins, a 3.74 ERA and 196 strikeouts for the Albuquerque Dukes, a minor league team in the Los Angeles Dodgers organization. That year he amassed a league-high 238 innings and struck out 13 batters against El Paso in a game in May.
The year before, Estevis had won 19 games for three teams, with a 3.06 ERA pitching part of the year in the American Association for the Omaha Dodgers.
He later went to Mexico and had two strong seasons with the Vera Cruz Aguilas. Estevis won 52 games in the American minors with a 3.68 ERA and 449 strikeouts.
