Steven Kyle Waldrop (born October 27, 1985) is a professional baseball pitcher in the Minnesota Twins organization.[1]

Kyle Waldrop was the Twins' third pick in the first round of the 2004 Major League Baseball draft, when the Twins had five first-round picks.[2] He was the 25th player drafted that year.[3]

A native of Knoxville, Tennessee and a 2004 graduate of Farragut High School in Farragut, Tennessee, Waldrop has played for Twins minor-league teams in Elizabethton, Tennessee, Beloit, Wisconsin, Fort Myers, Florida, New Britain, Connecticut, and Rochester, New York.[1]

Waldrop missed the entire 2008 season due to a shoulder injury.[1]

In 2011, he was one of six pitchers not currently on the Twins' major league roster to be invited to the team's spring training camp in Fort Myers.[3]

On September 5, 2011, Waldrop was called up from Rochester with Brian Dinkelman.[4]
