Samuel Deduno Lake (born July 2, 1983) is a Dominican professional baseball pitcher who is currently a free agent. He has played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Colorado Rockies, San Diego Padres, Minnesota Twins and Houston Astros.
Deduno was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Colorado Rockies in 2003. Deduno led the Texas League in strike outs in 2007, but missed the 2008 season with an injury.
Deduno was added to the 40-man roster for the Rockies after the 2008 season.
He was called up to the Rockies on August 26, 2010.
He was claimed off waivers by the San Diego Padres on January 28, 2011. On May 23, Deduno was designated for assignment to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for Blake Tekotte.
Deduno signed a minor league contract with the Minnesota Twins on November 17, 2011. On July 5, 2012, he had his contract purchased by the Twins. Deduno recorded his first win on July 22, in a game against the Kansas City Royals. In 2012, Deduno pitched 6-5 with a 4.44 ERA in 15 starts with 6.5 K/9 and 1.08 K/BB.
On November 5, Deduno signed a minor league deal with an invitation to spring training to stay with the Twins. Deduno made 18 starts with the Twins in 2013, and he was 8-8 with a 3.83 ERA, striking out 67 in 108 innings.
Deduno opened 2014 in the Twins bullpen after he lost the 5th starter spot to Kyle Gibson. He made 7 appearances in the bullpen, having a 2.89 ERA in 18.2 innings before being moved to the rotation to replace the injured Mike Pelfrey. Deduno didn't fare so well in the rotation, where in 8 starts, he was 3-5 with a 6.52 ERA and a 1.603 WHIP in 38.2 innings, or less than 5 innings per start. He was moved back to the bullpen on June 17 in favor of Yohan Pino.
