Chad Robert Bentz (born May 5, 1980 in Seward, Alaska) is a Major League Baseball pitcher who is currently a free agent. Bentz grew up in Juneau, and he made history on April 7, 2004 by becoming the second pitcher, after Jim Abbott, to play in the major leagues after being born without one of his hands. Bentz fields and catches with his glove the same way Abbott did when he played in the 1980s and early 1990s. Like Abbott, Bentz has a deformed right hand. As a freshman in college, Bentz met Abbott who became his mentor. Bentz played for the Charlotte Knights (Chicago White Sox Triple-A), Louisville Bats (Cincinnati Reds Triple-A), and Chattanooga Lookouts (Cincinnati Reds Double-A) in 2006. In 2007, Bentz was invited to spring training with the Colorado Rockies, but did not make the team. In 2008, he pitched for the Bridgeport Bluefish of the independent Atlantic League before being released on July 2. He briefly pitched for the American Defenders of New Hampshire of the Canadian American Association of Professional Baseball, but was released June 12, 2009.
