Remember That Guy: Kelly Wunsch

“Has absolutely the worst delivery I have ever seen, except possibly Floyd Youmans.”

- From The Neyer/James Guide to Pitchers (2004)

In the year 2000…

A funky sidearming lefty made his MLB debut on opening day, then went on to tie for the MLB lead with 83 appearances for the season.

That would be Kelly Wunsch. Born July 12, 1972, in Houston, Tex., Wunsch was drafted twice. First, he was drafted out of high school by the Braves in the 54th round in 1990, but opted for college. The Brewers came calling in 1993, when they selected Wunsch in the first round (26th overall) out of Texas A&M, where he majored in mechanical engineering.
