Mike Johnston (born March 30, 1979) is a baseball player, currently playing for the San Diego Padres. In 2004, Johnston made the Pirates team out of spring training despite never previously pitching above the AA level. By doing so, Johnston became the second known person with Tourette syndrome to play in Major League Baseball, after Jim Eisenreich. In October 2006, Johnston underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum. That November, he signed a minor league contract with the San Diego Padres.
