Daniel Joseph Serafini is a left-handed pitcher for the Japanese team Orix Buffaloes. The Minnesota Twins drafted him in the first round of the 1992 amateur draft with the 26th overall pick. He made his major league debut for the Twins in 1996 and pitched for the team before being sold to the Chicago Cubs prior to the 1999 season. He last pitched in the majors for the Cincinnati Reds in 2003. He appeared in 101 games and has a career record of 15-16 with an ERA of 5.98 while playing for the Twins, Cubs, San Diego Padres, Pittsburgh Pirates, and Reds. His best year was 1997, when he appeared in six games for the Twins, posting a 2-1 record and a 3.42 ERA.
In July 2006, a Cubs fan with a blog entitled Serafini Says was mistaken for the actual Dan Serafini by the radio station which broadcasts Twins games. The station broadcast an extended interivew with the blogger without realizing its error.
