Phillip Lee Huffman (born June 20, 1958 in Freeport, Texas), is a former professional baseball pitcher. He played two seasons in Major League Baseball, for the Toronto Blue Jays in 1979 and for the Baltimore Orioles in 1985.
Huffman played high school baseball in Texas for Brazoswood High School near his native Freeport, Texas.
Huffman was drafted out of high school in Texas in June 1977 by the San Francisco Giants as the team's second-round draft pick. In 1977, Huffman made 10 starts for the Great Falls Voyagers in the Pioneer Baseball League, a Class A rookie league, going 7-3.
On March 15, 1978, Huffman was part of a massive trade that sent him to the Oakland Athletics, along with Dave Heaverlo, Gary Alexander, John Henry Johnson, Gary Thomasson, Alan Wirth, $300,000 (and Mario Guerrero, who was named later), in exchange for Vida Blue.
Huffman began the 1978 season pitching with the Jersey City A's in the Eastern League AA league. Partway through the 1978 season, he was promoted to San Francisco's AAA Vancouver Canadians minor-league club.
On August 15, 1978, Oakland traded Huffman and Willie Horton to the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for Rico Carty. He was subsequently transferred to the Blue Jays' AAA Syracuse Chiefs farm club.
