Dan Naulty (born January 6, 1970 in Los Angeles, California - ) is a former pitcher for the Minnesota Twins and New York Yankees in Major League Baseball.
Naulty was drafted by the Twins in the 14th round in 1992 after playing his college baseball at Cal State Fullerton. He debuted in 1996 and pitched for the Twins through the 1998 season. In the 1998 offseason, he was traded to the Yankees for minor league prospect Allen Butler, and he pitched his last season in the majors for the Yankees in 1999. Naulty made 130 career appearances in the majors and finished with a 5-5 career record.
In an article Naulty wrote for the New York Daily News he confesses that he used Performance enhancing drugs (PEDs), including anabolic steroids and human growth hormone.[1] Naulty said he had severe mood swings from the drug use, and says he contemplated suicide. He said he started talking PEDs in 1996 during spring training with the Minnesota Twins, though he had access to, but did not use, steroids as far back as high school.[1]
