Darwin Harrikson Cubillán Salom [coo-be-yahn' / sah-lom'] (born November 15, 1972) is a Venezuelan former Major League Baseball right-handed relief pitcher.
Career
Originally signed as a free agent by the Yankees in 1993, Cubillán has played in the MLB for the Toronto Blue Jays (2000), Texas Rangers (2000), Montreal Expos (2001) and Baltimore Orioles (2004). In three-season career, Cubillán compiled a 1–0 record with 54 strikeouts and a 6.85 ERA.
Cubillán played in Japan for the Hanshin Tigers of the Central League, Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) from 2005 until 2007. He played using his first name "Darwin", because his last name Cubillán sounds like "Kubi yan" (クビやん) meaning "He is fired, isn't he?" in Japanese Kansai dialect, and "Darwin" has the same spelling as the last name of an English naturalist, Charles Darwin. In 2008, he signed with the SK Wyverns in South Korea, but was released during the season.
Cubillán also pitched winter ball for the Tigres de Aragua and Leones del Caracas clubs of the Venezuelan Professional Baseball League.
