Michael Brooks Kieschnick (born June 6, 1972) is a former American baseball utility player and pitcher.
The only player to win the Dick Howser Trophy twice, he is a College Hall of Fame inductee and he later played six Major League Baseball (MLB) seasons.
He played the majority of his career for the Chicago Cubs and the Milwaukee Brewers, and also played for the Cincinnati Reds and Colorado Rockies from 1996 to 2004.
He batted left-handed but threw right-handed.
During the initial part of his major league career, he was exclusively a position player, playing the outfield; for his final two seasons in the big leagues, he served primarily as a relief pitcher who also occasionally doubled as an outfielder and pinch hitter. Kieschnick played college baseball at the University of Texas at Austin for the Texas Longhorns from 1990 until 1993, when he was drafted by the Chicago Cubs.
After two seasons with the team, he was selected by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in the 1997 expansion draft.
However, he never played a major league game for them and played only in the minor leagues during his tenure with the organization.
Although he was originally projected to be a hitter, he eventually revived his career by returning to pitching, which he excelled at during his years with the Texas Longhorns.
He was signed by the Milwaukee Brewers in 2003 and played his final major league game for them on October 3, 2004.
