William Michael (Mike) Stanton (born June 2, 1967 in Houston, Texas) is a left-handed specialist relief pitcher in Major League Baseball for the Cincinnati Reds.
From 1989 through 2006, Stanton has posted a 67-60 record with a 3.81 ERA and 84 saves in 1109 games pitched. He made the American League All-Star team in 2001.
Despite being a set-up man, Stanton has a consistent "entrance song" like many Major League Closers. Stanton usually enters to Aldo Nova's Fantasy. With the Mets, he had entered to Metallica's Enter Sandman during save situations as an obvious tribute to Mariano Rivera.
