Michael Blair Choice (born November 10, 1989) is an American professional baseball outfielder who is currently a free agent. Choice made his Major League Baseball debut with the Oakland Athletics on September 2, 2013.
Choice played college baseball at the University of Texas at Arlington before the Athletics made him their first round draft pick in 2010. He was traded from the Athletics to the Texas Rangers for Craig Gentry and Josh Lindblom on December 3, 2013.
Choice attended Mansfield Timberview High School in Arlington, Texas. He played for the school's baseball team as a catcher and pitcher. He had a .506 batting average during his senior year.
Though universities in the Big 12 Conference scouted Choice, he received his only scholarship offer from the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA), where he played college baseball for the Texas–Arlington Mavericks baseball team of the Southland Conference. Due to the number of catchers and middle infielders on the team, Choice played as a center fielder. As a freshman in 2008, Choice led the team in with a .376 batting average, seven home runs, and 51 runs batted in (RBIs). That year, Choice was named Second Team College Freshman All-American Outfielder and Southland Conference Freshman of the Year. In 2009, he was named Southland Conference All-Star Outfielder. In the summer of 2009, he played for the United States national baseball team in the World Baseball Challenge.
