Marc Richard Sagmoen is a former Major League Baseball outfielder. He was drafted by the Texas Rangers in the 13th round of the 1993 amateur draft and signed on June 8, 1993. Sagmoen was the last new player authorized by the commissioner of baseball to be issued the number "42"; the number was retired for every major league team on April 15, 1997 because of Jackie Robinson.
Sagmoen is one of the few (and perhaps only) players to record his first Major League base hit as an inside-the-park home run. It would also be the only home run he hit. This came on April 17, 1997 at Kauffman Stadium against the Kansas City Royals in the top of the 5th inning versus Tim Belcher. The Rangers won the game 5 to 1.
