Michael Anthony Magnante (born June 17, 1965, in Glendale, California) is a former left-handed relief pitcher in Major League Baseball.
On August 22, 1997, Magnante struck out three batters on nine pitches in the ninth inning of a 6-3 win over the Cincinnati Reds. Magnante became the 20th National League pitcher and the 29th pitcher in major league history to accomplish the feat.
Magnante was also discussed in Moneyball, in which he was prevented from receiving his retirement benefits - only a few days from retirement - by the acquisition of Ricardo Rincon.
