Michael Thomas Kohn (born June 26, 1986) is an American professional baseball pitcher who is currently a free agent. He was drafted by the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in the 13th round (409th overall) of the 2008 Major League Baseball Draft after playing college baseball at the College of Charleston. He made his MLB debut with the Angels in 2010.
Kohn made his major league debut on July 26, 2010 against the Boston Red Sox at Angel Stadium of Anaheim. He finished the season appearing in 24 games, going 2-0. In 2011, Kohn struggled with control, walking 9 in 12.1 innings and allowing 10 runs. He spent the entire 2012 season on the disabled list due to Tommy John surgery. Fully healthy in 2013, Kohn was a bullpen mainstay for the Angels, appearing in a career high 63 games. On September 2, 2014, Kohn was designated for assignment. On September 8, 2014, Kohn chose free agency rather than accepting a demotion to the minors.
On October 16, 2014, Kohn signed a major league contract with the Tampa Bay Rays. He was designated for assignment on November 20.
On December 4, 2014, Kohn was signed to a minor league deal by the Atlanta Braves, a deal that included an invite to Spring Training.
