Sean Runyan

Sean David Runyan (born June 21, 1974 in Fort Smith, Arkansas) is a former Major League Baseball player.

After attending Urbandale High School in Urbandale, Iowa, Runyan was drafted by the Houston Astros in the 5th round of the 1992 amateur draft. [cite news | title=Padres deal off Eischen, Lopez | work=Copley News Service | first=Bill | last=Center | date=March 17, 1997] After several seasons in the minors with the Quad City River Bandits, the Astros traded to the San Diego Padres in 1997 for Luis Lopez [cite news | title=Angels' Finley out; Elsewhere | work=Austin American-Statesman | date=March 17, 1997 | page=C4] , but was drafted by the Detroit Tigers in the Rule 5 draft that same year.

Runyan's major league debut came on March 31, 1998. He would be used as a left-handed specialist out of the Tigers bullpen, and would go on to lead the American League in appearances with 88. The 88 appearances were 2 short of the American League record, but were enough to set the record for rookies.

After dealing with arm troubles, Runyan pitched his final game on September 9, 2000. For his career, he pitched parts of 3 seasons, all in Detroit, and was out of baseball by 2003.
