A handy utility infielder, de la Hoz never had 200 at-bats in a season. The hustling Cuban pinch hit in 40% of his games. As a Milwaukee Brave on July 8, 1965, he hit a pinch-homer in the eighth inning, singled to tie the game in the ninth, and singled and scored in the 12th to give his club a 9-8 victory over the Astros.
