Patrick Theodore Joseph "Pat" Misch (born August 18, 1981 in Northbrook, Illinois) is a Major League Baseball left-handed pitcher for the San Francisco Giants. He is a graduate of Glenbrook North High School in Northbrook[1] and was twice named to the All-Mid-American Conference Second Team while attending Western Michigan University.[2] He was selected by Houston in the fifth round (161st overall selection) of the 2002 amateur draft, but opted not to sign with Astros. The Giants made him their seventh round selection (the 213th player selected) in the 2003 amateur draft and signed him June 8 of that year.[1]
In his first four seasons in the Giants farm system (through the end of 2006), Misch compiled a 30-28 won-lost record and a 3.52 ERA in 96 games (95 starts).[3] He made his major league debut September 21, 2006, pitching a scoreless inning of relief and striking out the first batter he faced—Milwaukee Brewers' rookie left fielder Drew Anderson.
Misch began the 2007 season pitching out of the bullpen of the Giants' triple-A, Pacific Coast League affiliate Fresno Grizzlies. He was recalled to San Francisco July 3 when reliever Vinnie Chulk was placed on the bereavement list.[4]
Misch was the starting pitcher for the Giants on August 4, 2007 against the San Diego Padres. It was in this game that Barry Bonds hit his 755th home run, tying Hank Aaron for most all-time career home runs.
