Michael Bruce Warren (born March 26, 1961 in Inglewood, California) is a former Major League Baseball pitcher for the Oakland Athletics. Though he made just 27 starts in his career, he pitched a no-hitter at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum against the Chicago White Sox on September 29, .〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Oakland A's 3, Chicago White Sox 0 )〕 Warren was drafted by the Detroit Tigers in the twelfth round of the 1979 Major League Baseball Draft out of Fullerton Union High School in Fullerton, California. After going 5-16 with a 5.60 earned run average over two seasons in which he never pitched at higher than the A-ball level, the Tigers released him. He was signed by Oakland shortly afterwards, but was selected by the Milwaukee Brewers rule 5 draft after just one season in their organization. He and fellow minor leaguer John Evans were traded back to the A's for infielder Rob Picciolo at the start of the minor league season. Warren rewarded the A's with a breakout season for the Modesto A's in 1982, going 19-4 with a 3.00 ERA and 154 strikeouts to lead his team to the California League Championship.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cleveland Settles for 'Second Choice' )〕 He made the jump from double A to the majors in 1983 thanks in part to a rash of injuries suffered by Oakland pitching.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Oakland A's )〕 He was ineffective in two relief appearances, and was optioned to triple A Tacoma. He went 6-3 with a 3.53 ERA for the Tacoma Tigers to earn a call back to Oakland that August, this time as a starting pitcher. He was 1-3 with a 6.54 ERA when he won his final four starts of the season with a 1.85 ERA. The no-hitter came in his final start of the season, and was the thirteenth no-hitter in major league history by a rookie. Warren suffered from a lack of run support as the A's managed to score just two runs in his first two starts of the season. When Oakland's bats finally heated up, Warren began suffering control issues. He was moved into the bullpen, and eventually optioned back to Tacoma in June with a 3-6 record and 5.09 ERA.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A's Return Mike Warren to Minor Leagues )〕 He returned to the team briefly in July and again when rosters expanded that September. His record stood at 1-4 with a 7.92 ERA in when he was relegated to "mop up duty" by manager Jackie Moore. He was shipped to Tacoma to make room on the major league roster when the A's signed Tommy John. He signed a minor league contract with the Kansas City Royals in , but never returned to the majors. ==See also== *List of Major League Baseball no-hitters 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mike Warren (baseball)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
