Cristian Javier Baseball Card Autograph 2021 Panini Prizm No. 249 - PSA Authenticated, See Photos. Cristian Javier, nicknamed "El Reptíl" for his cold-blooded composure on the mound, is a right-handed pitcher who has spent his entire professional career with the Houston Astros. He is best known for his "invisible" fastball and a devastating slider, a combination that allowed him to make history as the starter for two combined no-hitters—including the only combined no-hitter in World Series history during Game 4 of the 2022 Fall Classic. After signing a five-year, $64 million extension in 2023, Javier’s career faced significant hurdles due to health. He underwent Tommy John surgery in June 2024, missing over a year of action before making a successful return in August 2025. As of May 2026, Javier is navigating a setback in his recovery; after starting the season in the Astros' rotation, he was placed on the 60-day Injured List in April due to right shoulder strain, with the club hoping their veteran starter can return to his dominant form for the second half of the year.
