American minority pitchers

So I'm watching this ULL vs. Jackson State game and the pitcher from Jackson state has some good movement on his stuff.
It got me thinking, and I'm sure I'm missing a few obvious ones, but are there any really good American born black pitchers in the majors?
I understand the flash and razzle-dazzle of football and basketball but what has truly been the cause of the decline in numbers from the past?

There's some. Mostly middle to late inning pitchers. Wouldn't say they're all that good...now the black hispanic ones are good.lol.

He fell off big time. Don't know if it was an injury that caused it or being traded. But he got real bad.

He had all kinds of mental problems, like depression and anxiety and stuff like that

Edwin JAckson is in his 12th MLB Season

Willis also made out with $40m. Not too bad for not playing past 30 
From ROY, to Cy runner up, no hitter... to terrible. Sad.

He isn't there yet but Taijuan Walker is gonna be a beast
Posted on 5/30/14 at 6:59 pm to ChallboiMatt
Taijuan Walker is a top 5 prospect and will be joining the rotation after his rehab assignment. He looked good in a few starts last year.

Actually he's not African-American, he was the first Canadian to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
