Clifford Michael "Cliff" Brumbaugh (born April 21, 1974 in Wilmington, Delaware) is an American baseball player. He currently plays for the Woori Heroes in the South Korean KBO Baseball League.
Brumbaugh was drafted by the Texas Rangers in the 13th round of the 1995 amateur draft[1]. He spent his career in the minor leagues before being called up to the Rangers and featuring in 7 games in 2001, hitting a solo home run in his first start. However, his major league career was mostly spent as a pinch hitter, and this would be the only home run of his major league career. He moved from Texas to the Colorado Rockies later that season, featuring in 14 further MLB games. He went back to the minor leagues, and signed with the Chicago White Sox in 2003. Despite performing well in the minors, he was never called up by the White Sox and moved to South Korea's Hyundai Unicorns later in 2003.[2]
He was a key player in the Hyundai Unicorns championship successes in 2003 and 2004 which earned him a move to the Orix Buffaloes in Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball in 2005. After two seasons in Japan he returned to Korea and the Unicorns in 2007.[3] He remained with the team in 2008 after Hyundai sold the franchise, which was renamed Woori Heroes and relocated from Suwon to Seoul.
