Mark Redman

Mark Allen Redman (born January 5, 1974) is an American former professional baseball left-handed starting pitcher. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Minnesota Twins, Detroit Tigers, Florida Marlins, Oakland Athletics, Pittsburgh Pirates, Kansas City Royals, Atlanta Braves, and Colorado Rockies.

A 1992 graduate of Escondido High School in California, he played baseball and football before attending The Master's College in Santa Clarita, California for one year and then transferring to the University of Oklahoma.

In his sophomore year at Oklahoma, Redman set school records for strikeouts (136) and innings pitched (135.1) during the regular season and posted a 5-0 record in post-season play as he helped the Sooners win the 1994 College World Series title.

Redman named 1st Team All-Big Eight, Big Eight Newcomer of the Year, NCAA All-Regional team and was a member of the College World Series All-Tournament team in 1994. In addition, he was selected as a 1st Team All-American in both of his seasons at Oklahoma.

Redman was selected by Detroit Tigers in 41st Round (1,148th overall) of the 1992 Major League Baseball draft, but did not sign with the team. He would get drafted again in 1995 by the Minnesota Twins in the 1st Round (13th overall).

He would make his Major League debut with the Minnesota Twins on July 24, 1999, pitching 4+23 innings, giving up 3 runs, and totaling 3 strikeouts and 3 walks, in 10–3 victory over the Seattle Mariners. Following his debut, he would be sent back down to the minors, before returning to the majors in mid-September, making 4 appearances out of the bullpen, where he gave up 10 runs in 8 innings pitched.

In 2000, Redman was named to the opening day roster, and began the season coming out of the bullpen again, before moving into the starting rotation in May, going on to make 24 starts for the Twins, finishing with a 12–9 record with a 4.76 ERA over 151+13 innings. He would finish in a 4-way tie for 6th place in AL Rookie of the Year voting, receiving a single vote.

The following season he made 9 starts for Minnesota, going 2–4 with a 4.22 ERA over 49 innings before being traded to the Detroit Tigers at the trade deadline.
