Michael Dennis Dunne (born October 27, 1962) is an American former professional baseball player who pitched in the Major League Baseball(MLB) from 1987–1990 and in 1992. He was a member of the 1984 U.S. Olympic Baseball Team.
Dunne had a fine rookie season with the Pirates, going 13–6 with a 3.03 ERA and allowing just 143 hits in 164 innings.[6] Those numbers led to him finishing second in the National League Rookie of the Year voting to Benito Santiago.[7] On April 21, 1989, he was traded by the Pittsburgh Pirates with minor leaguer Mark Merchant and Mike Walker to the Seattle Mariners for Rey Quiñones and Bill Wilkinson. [8]
Injuries hampered much of the rest of his career. He was dealt to Seattle Mariners, and later pitched for the San Diego Padres and the Chicago White Sox. His last big league game was in 1992 for the White Sox.
Dunne's big league career covered five years and he finished with a 25–30 record and a 4.08 ERA. He pitched in 85 games, 76 of them as a starter, allowed 471 hits in 474 innings, fanned 205 and walked 225.[9]
Dunne became a coach at Bradley University in 2000[1] and has also coached youth baseball and basketball.[2]
