Deshaies is a municipality located in the south of the island Guadeloupe proper otherwise called Basse-Terre which is part of the Guadeloupe archipelago, belonging to France. It covers an area of 31.11 kmē, and as of 1999, has a population of 4,154.
Deshaies was a mainstay on the Astros' rotation from 1986 to 1991, pitching in 26 or more starts in those years.
That year, Deshaies was 15-10 with a 2.91 ERA and 153 strikeouts.
Deshaies wore #43 with the Astros, and had a strong penchant for keeping first base runners close to the bag, making several throws to the first baseman when a runner was on.
One of several promising young pitchers traded away by the impatient Yankees in the 1980s, Deshaies pitched a no-hitter for Nashville (Southern League) in 1984 before leading the International League in ERA at Columbus the same season.
Deshaies struggled in 1987, but still posted an 11-6 record, and in 1988 he lowered his ERA to 3.00, although his record slipped to 11-14.
Deshaies breaks the major-league record of 7, last tied by Joe Cowley on May 28th.
