Jeffrey Michael Manship (born January 16, 1985) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the NC Dinos of the KBO League. He was the Minnesota Twins' 14th round selection of the June 2006 Major League Baseball draft and has also played for the Colorado Rockies, Philadelphia Phillies, and the Cleveland Indians.
Manship was member of Team USA's 16-under and 18-under Youth and Junior National Teams, winning a gold medal in 2001. At Ronald Reagan High School in San Antonio, he was an All-American with a 22–2 record and 0.65 earned run average his final two seasons (2002 and 2003) with four no-hitters (one perfect game), and a 7.9 strikeout-to-walk ratio. He was drafted by the Arizona Diamondbacks out of high school, but chose instead to attend Notre Dame. He missed his entire freshman season at Notre Dame following reconstructive elbow surgery on February 11, 2004.
In Manship's first season of professional ball (2006), his combined effort for the Gulf Coast League Twins and Fort Myers Miracle was 22 strikeouts in 15 innings pitched with only two earned runs for a 1.20 ERA. He began the 2007 season with the Beloit Snappers of the Midwest League, going 7–1 with a 1.51 ERA to earn a Midwest League All-Star nod, and a promotion back up to Minnesota's advanced A affiliate in Fort Myers.
