I'll be reviewing this—I don't know anything about baseball so if something in this review is extremely wrong then pardon me
Infobox and lead
Infobox says he was born in
Santa Clara, Cuba, but prose says he was born in
Las Villas; while both locations are related, it's best to leave it consistent
I don't see where MLB wins leader is mentioned on prose
Ref 2 alone supports the second, third, and fourth statements alone, so ref 3 isn't needed
"drawing attention from
Major League Baseball (MLB) scouts." – ref 2 says that he "was heavily followed by Cuban and American scouts", but does not state specifically MLB scouts (neither does ref 3)
"with 220 innings pitched."[9] – where is this mentioned at
9
You click the category at the top to organize by the leaders in it. Innings pitched is denoted by the abbreviation IP.

I'm not sure how the second and third sentences of the seventh paragraph are supported by ref 8—only ref 2 there seems fine to me
""He’s a lot faster and has come with quite a scroogie," the hitter observed." > "The hitter said that ""he's a lot faster and has come with quite a scroogie"."
"the
Philadelphia Phillies collapsed" – remove the wikilink since PP has already been linked before
Finished a review of the first section; second coming soon.

Houston Astros (1965-68)
"posted an 0.72 ERA" – where is this number mentioned at
ref 15
For these gamelogs, you can get the statistics over a range of dates by clicking on two of them. If you click the first and the fifteenth game, a pop-up window will arise, showing you (among other things) what his ERA was over that span.

""I've created a monster" bragged manager
Grady Hatton after Cuellar posted a 1.29 ERA in his first four starts." > "After Cuellar posted a 1.29 ERA in his first four starts, manager
Grady Hatton said: "I've created a monster"."
""For a while, all Cuellar wanted to do was throw screwballs," Hatton explained. "But this year," > "Hatton explained: "For a while, all Cuellar wanted to do was throw screwballs. But this year,"
"He came into the contest in relief of Chris Short in the 11th. Of the seven batters he faced, the only baserunner he allowed in the two shutout innings he pitched was Carl Yastrzemski, who recorded a 12th-inning single." – where is this mentioned at
ref 27
It's a summary of info recorded in the numbers, as well as in the paragraphs from AMERICAN LEAGUE 11TH through NATIONAL LEAGUE 13TH.

Baltimore Orioles (1969-76)
Looks good! I'm surprised to see this
California Angels (1977), later career
The third paragraph is unsourced
Pitching style
"his excellent
screwball" – attribute this statement to the writer of
ref 45 since it's subjective
"By cleverly selecting" – again, 'cleverly' is subjective, attribute this statement
""To watch him pitch was amazing," recalled fellow Oriole pitcher Dick Hall. "It seemed" > "Fellow Oriole pitcher Dick Hall recalled: "To watch him pitch was amazing. It seemed"
"Sports Illustrated said" – wikilink Sports Illustrated to
Sports Illustrated
""Cuellar's screwball is a pitch nobody else in baseball throws, and he can change speeds on it," observed Ken McMullen of the Angels." > "Ken McMullen of the Angels opined that "Cuellar's screwball is a pitch nobody else in baseball throws, and he can change speeds on it;""
Personal life
"his first marriage was falling apart," > "he was breaking up with his first wife" and specify the name of the wife if possible
""“He was like an artist,” Palmer remembered. “He" > ""Palmer remembered him as "like an artist. He" – without the curly quotation mark
The first two statements of the second paragraph are sourced by
ref 118, but how exacly? This source apparently doesn't even mention the name "Cuellar"
Note: this represents where the article stands relative to the
Good Article criteria. Criteria marked are unassessed
Prose is at times unencyclopedic, like it's from a story-telling; refs do not meet MOS; and subjective statements are asserted as facts.
It does have its problems but is quite close to GA. It has gone unreviewed for months though, so it's probably better than when you first nominated it.

It seems like all the issues have been addressed; looks like a nice ✓Pass to me.
