Michael Kohn

Michael Kohn is the sort of unsung arm I quietly respect. Reaching the majors from little Camden, South Carolina, by way of the College of Charleston and a 13th-round draft slot, then pitching for both the Angels and the Braves, is no small feat. Relief pitching is a brutal, one-pitch-from-disaster job, and the guys who survive it carry a particular grit. I like that he still posts on Instagram and X; it hints at a personality worth knowing beyond the box score. He's the kind of player whose career rewards a closer look than the headlines ever gave him.

Michael Thomas Kohn (born June 26, 1986) is an American former professional baseball pitcher. He was drafted by the Los Angeles Angels in the 13th round (409th overall) of the 2008 Major League Baseball draft after playing college baseball at the College of Charleston. He made his Major League Baseball (MLB) debut with the Angels in 2010, and also played for the Atlanta Braves.
