Kevin Paul Mmahat (Mama-Hat) (born 9 November, 1964) was a Major League Baseball (MLB) player in the late 1980s.

Born in Memphis, Tennessee, Mmahat graduated from and pitched for Tulane University. He was drafted by the Texas Rangers as a left-handed pitcher in 1987, but sold to the New York Yankees a year later without playing a game.

He is married to the former Gina Tedesco with whom he has three children. Two daughters, Gabrielle, and Abigail and one son, Garrett.
