Michael John Remlinger (born March 23, 1966 in Middletown, New York) is a relief pitcher in Major League Baseball. Remlinger has played with the San Francisco Giants (1991), New York Mets (1994-95), Cincinnati Reds (1995-98), Atlanta Braves (1999-2002, 2006), Chicago Cubs (2003-2005), and the Boston Red Sox (2005). He bats and throws left-handed.
A Dartmouth College graduate, Remlinger led the nation with a 1.59 ERA during his sophomore season. He was selected by the Giants with the 16th pick of the first round in the 1987 amateur draft.
In a 16-season career, Remlinger compiled a 53-54 record with a 3.89 ERA and 20 saves in 634 games. He made the National League All-Star team in 2002.
Remlinger often pitches better against right-handed hitters, which is unusual for a left-handed pitcher.
On May 25, 2005 Mike Remingler was placed on the 15 day Disabled List by the Chicago Cubs after breaking his left pinkie by getting it caught in a chair. At the time Remlinger was pitching quite poorly and many speculated the injury was a way of clearing roster space without putting Remlinger on waivers. Steve Stone, a baseball analyst and former Cubs broadcaster, often refers to having players "sit in the Remlinger chair" when they are playing badly during a season.
Remlinger signed a one-year minor league contract with the Atlanta Braves in January of 2006 after being released by the Red Sox. The Braves invited him to Spring Training as a non-roster invitee, and later he was added to the 25-man roster.
The Braves designated Remlinger for assignment and later released him on June 25, 2006.
