Mike Maroth

Michael Warren Maroth (born August 17, 1977) is a former American Major League Baseball (MLB) starting pitcher. Born in Orlando, Florida, and after attending the University of Central Florida, the left-handed Maroth made his Major League debut in 2002 for the Detroit Tigers.

Playing career

Early career

A third-round pick in the 1998 draft, Maroth spent his first two years of professional baseball playing for the Single-A Sarasota Red Sox in the Boston Red Sox organization. He led Sarasota's starting pitchers with 11 wins in 1999.

Detroit Tigers

Before the 2000 season, Maroth was traded to the Tigers organization for relief pitcher Bryce Florie and worked his way up from the Single-A Lakeland Tigers to the Triple-A Toledo Mud Hens by 2001. Maroth had a 4.65 earned run average (ERA) with Toledo. At the time of his promotion to the Tigers, he was also tied for second place in wins for the entire International League. Maroth was made a starter for the Tigers on June 8, 2002.

In 2003, Maroth lost 21 games for the Tigers—the first pitcher to lose 20 or more games in a season since Brian Kingman lost 20 for the Oakland Athletics in 1980. However, he led the Tigers in wins (9) and win-loss percentage (.300) while the team set the American League record of 119 games lost (43–119).

Famous quotes by Mike Maroth:

"I was leaving a lot of balls over the plate. I pretty much did what you don't want to do as a pitcher. It seemed like I was getting behind hitters, and when I did get ahead, I wasn't able to put them away."

"I was leaving a lot of balls over the plate. I pretty much did what you don't want to do as a pitcher."

"I wish I could pitch this well everywhere, ... especially at home this year."

"The bottom line is you go out there to win -- team wins, not individual wins. They've been helping me out."

"I think I was feeling a bit for my pitches in the first two innings. I started letting a couple pitches go a little bit later, and it helped out a lot. I was able to throw a couple harder than normal. It makes your offspeed stuff more effective. I don't know if my arm loosened up or what."

"After the first couple of innings, I started getting ahead of the hitters and was able to do a good job."

"I had been trying to aim the ball a bit. So I just threw as hard as I could. I wasn't worrying about trying to make a perfect pitch. I just wanted to throw it in the strike zone and give them a different speed. It was very effective."

"I've been getting a lot of runs. They've been scoring a lot of runs for me. They picked me up several times,"

"We've got a good offense. You can expect us to score runs. But there's going to be days where even the best hitting teams are going to get shut out."

"I've been getting a lot of runs. This is just one game, ... Obviously the past two games we haven't scored any runs. But that's going to"
