Mark Allen Redman (born January 5, 1974) is a retired Major League Baseball left-handed starting pitcher.
A 1992 graduate of Escondido High School in California, he played baseball and football before attending The Master's College in Santa Clarita, California for one year and then transferring to the University of Oklahoma.
In his sophomore year at Oklahoma, Redman set school records for strikeouts (136) and innings pitched (135.1) during the regular season and posted a 5-0 record in post-season play as he helped the Sooners win the 1994 College World Series title.
Redman named 1st Team All-Big Eight, Big Eight Newcomer of the Year, NCAA All-Regional team and was a member of the College World Series All-Tournament team in 1994. In addition, he was selected as a 1st Team All-American in both of his seasons at Oklahoma.
Redman was selected by Detroit Tigers in 41st Round (1148th overall) of the 1992 amateur draft, but did not sign with the team. He would get drafted again in 1995 by the Minnesota Twins in the 1st Round (13th overall).
He would make his debut with the team on July 24, 1999. In 2000, he made 24 starts for the Twins, finishing with a 12-9 record. The following season he made 9 starts for them and was later traded to the Detroit Tigers, for which he only made 2 starts that season due to injury.
In his lone full season with the Tigers, he made 30 starts for the first time and finished with an 8-15 record and a 4.21 ERA. In the offseason, Redman was traded to Florida for three prospects.
