Kameron Kraig 'Kam' Mickolio (/mɪkəˈlaɪ.oʊ/; born May 10, 1984) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles of Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB). He has previously pitched for the Hiroshima Toyo Carp of NPB, and the Baltimore Orioles and Arizona Diamondbacks of Major League Baseball.

Mickolio graduated from Belgrade High School in 2002, but did not play baseball because Montana did not sanction the sport. Instead he was with the local American Legion Baseball team named the Belgrade Bandits, which finished in third place with a 32–20 record in state competition. He went 9–2 with 115 strikeouts in 88 innings pitched. He registered five shutouts and complete games each in his eleven starts. He also batted .386 with six home runs.

Mickolio attended the College of Eastern Utah for two years. He was the 46th-round pick of the St. Louis Cardinals in the 2003 MLB Draft, but did not sign a contract. Mickolio completed his college career at Utah Valley State College.
