Brian Michael Daubach (born February 11, 1972) is a retired Major League Baseball player and current minor league baseball coach. During his playing career Daubach served as a first baseman, outfielder, and designated hitter. He is currently the hitting coach of the Triple-A Syracuse Chiefs of the International League.
Daubach was selected by the Mets in the 17th round of the 1990 amateur draft. He toiled for seven years in the Mets' minor league system without breaking through to the majors before being granted free agency. In 1997, he signed with the Florida Marlins organization and made his major league debut in 1998. Later he played for the Boston Red Sox (1999-2002, 2004) and Chicago White Sox (2003).
During his time with the Red Sox, Daubach was involved in a bench-clearing brawl that occurred during a game between Boston and the Tampa Bay Rays on August 29, 2000. During the fight, Daubach unintentionally injured teammate Lou Merloni, who would have to go to the hospital. As the game continued, Rays pitchers would go on to throw at Daubach six times, hitting him twice. In all, eight members of the Rays team were ejected from the game, which Boston won, with Red Sox pitcher Pedro Martinez nearly throwing a no-hitter.
He started 2005 with the Norfolk Tides, a Triple-A affiliate of the Mets in the International League. On June 16, 2005, he finally made his debut with the club that drafted him fifteen years earlier. He played for the Memphis Redbirds, the AAA-affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals in 2006.
