David Alexander Liddell (born June 15, 1966 in Los Angeles, California) is a former Major League Baseball catcher. He caught one game for the New York Mets in 1990.[1] He hit a single in his only Major League at bat, on June 30, 1990, giving him a lifetime batting average of 1.000.[1][2] His Major League slugging percentage and on-base percentage are also 1.000.[1] His at bat came in the 8th inning of a June 3, 1990 game against the Philadelphia Phillies as a pinch hitter for Mets' catcher Mackey Sasser against pitcher Pat Combs.[3] His hit came on the first and only Major League pitch he ever faced; author George Rose estimates that his Major League career as a hitter thus lasted only about 20 seconds.[3] He scored a run later in the inning.[3] He also caught one inning with one putout for a lifetime fielding percentage of 1.000.[1] After the 1990 season, he was signed by the Cincinnati Reds as a free agent, but he never played in the Reds' system.[1][1]

Liddell was a 4th round draft pick of the Chicago Cubs in 1984 - the 83rd overall pick in the draft - after attending Rubidoux High School in Riverdale, California.[1][4][5] He was traded to Mets with minor league pitcher Dave Lenderman on June 30, 1986 in exchange for pitcher Ed Lynch.[1] He also played in the Milwaukee Brewers' and Baltimore Orioles' organizations.[1] In 529 minor league games between 1984 and 1992 he had a batting average of .215 with 24 home runs and at least 109 runs batted in in 1505 at bats.[1] He had a minor league slugging percentage of .309.[1] He also pitched in one game for the unaffiliated Reno Silver Sox in 1998, giving up one run in 2/3 of an inning.[1] He also played as a first baseman in 13 games over the course of his minor league career.[1] Liddell played in 18 games for the 1986 South Atlantic League champion Columbia Mets and 32 games for the 1991 American Association champion Denver Zephyrs.[1]
