Pat Neshek (Trading Card Database)It might have been a case of “no coaching is the best coaching.”

Steve Farley, Pat Neshek’s college baseball coach at Butler University, said he spent a lot of time trying to fix a couple of mechanical issues Neshek had with his unorthodox sidearm delivery.

But at the end of Neshek’s sophomore year in 2000, Farley told him, “I’m going to stop trying to change your mechanics. What you do, Pat, works for you. It’s funky, but it works!”

Indeed, it did. Dealing from the right side with a distinctive submarine-sidearm motion that reminded at least one sportswriter of someone zipping a frisbee, Neshek set Butler records for strikeouts in a game and a season. Drafted in the sixth round by his hometown Minnesota Twins in 2002, he went on to average nearly a strikeout an inning in a 13-year career as a reliever with seven major league clubs, compiling an ERA of 2.82. Twice, he was named to the National League All-Star team, and he pitched in five games for Team USA as it won the 2017 World Baseball Classic tournament. Along the way, he became a leading collector of baseball memorabilia and was among the first in the majors to establish his own website.

“Pat was ahead of the times when it came time for technology,” remembered Farley. “Before I ever knew what the internet was, Pat and his baseball roommate designed their own Butler Baseball website with action photos, team trivia, and more. Pat was the first player I had who took a laptop computer with him on the bus on road trips.”

***

Patrick John Neshek (pronounced NEE-shek) was born in Madison, Wisconsin, on September 4, 1980. His father, Gene, was a mechanical engineer for companies like Unisys and Donaldson.

His mother, Paula (née Plourde), managed a group home for developmentally disabled adults. They met while students at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville. Pat had two brothers, Paul and Jacob (Jake), two and three years behind him. Just a year after Pat’s birth, his father took a new engineering job and the family moved from Blue Mound, Wisconsin, to Melbourne, Florida. When Neshek was five, another promotion took the family to Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, a suburb of Minneapolis where Pat grew up.

“My dad was not a ballplayer,” Neshek remembered, “but he had lived in Waukesha, Wisconsin, outside Milwaukee and was a big Brewers fan. He would come home from work and pitch to us in the yard. My brothers would pretend to be Paul Molitor, and I would be Robin Yount. A lot of neighborhood kids would play, too.” Those family games led to neighborhood tee-ball and coach-pitch teams featuring kids from the neighboring suburbs. Neshek’s dad would pitch or umpire. “It was so cool he would spend time with us,” Pat remembered. “It made us feel like we were the best in the world.”

In 1992, when Pat was 11, his Little League team won the Minnesota state title, defeating Duluth. But they lost in the national regionals at Indianapolis to a team from Ohio. The next year, his brother Paul’s team made it all the way to the Little League championships, so Pat and

the Neshek family got to experience Williamsport, Pennsylvania, up close and personal. “The games were on ESPN,” remembered Pat. “We felt like big shots.”

Even at this young age, Neshek was developing a lifelong love of baseball. He was a Twins fan, and his favorite player was future Hall of Famer Kirby Puckett, who happened to be a neighbor. Pat recalled knocking on the Puckett door at Halloween, and on another occasion, selling candy bars in a fund raiser to Puckett’s wife Tonya. “Puckett liked the candy bars. Tonya bought the whole box,” he remembered.

Often, the senior Neshek took his boys to downtown Minneapolis to see the Twins play. “It wasn’t very far from our house,” Pat recalled. “Dad drove our Mitsubishi van to the games, and we got autographs and chased after foul balls. We had season passes, but the Twins were so bad the gate attendants didn’t even check your ticket. You could just walk in. They gave us certificates for free soft drinks at a Super America gas station. It was a blast.”

In 1999, his senior year, Pat earned All-State honors as a star shortstop and pitcher on the Park Center Senior High School team in Brooklyn Park.

That season also proved critical to Neshek’s eventual success as a major league pitcher. While batting against Maple Grove High School, an inside pitch smacked him on his throwing wrist, damaging tendons in his arm. “I went down to first base,” he remembered. “It didn’t seem that bad, but when I tried to throw overhand, it really hurt. I couldn’t feel my fingertips. But when I dropped down and threw sidearm, it felt fine.” Ironically, that wayward fastball—or, by another account, a line drive that struck his forearm1—led to his trademark dip-down sidewinder delivery.

Many have attempted to describe it. Chris Umpierre of the Fort Myers News-Press said, “Pat Neshek starts his delivery by bending down at the waist. His glove nearly kicks up dirt. Then Neshek straightens up and flings the ball home at a side-armed angle.”2 Another writer suggested Neshek finishes with “an exaggerated wiggle of his hand that has bothered more than one frustrated opposing batter.”3

By then, the eventually 6-foot-3, 220-pound athlete with a broad smile was attracting big league interest. The Twins selected him in the 45th round of the June 2000 amateur draft. But Neshek had his eye on college and a potential degree in finance. He narrowed his choices to two smaller schools—Creighton University in Omaha and Butler in Indianapolis, a city he and his dad had visited during the Little League regionals, and site of the Indy 500 auto race his dad admired. “Other guys wanted to go to Division I schools,” Neshek said. “But they might be red-shirted and maybe never play much.”

Butler coach Farley recalled how Neshek became a Bulldog. “I was on vacation, watching Pat and other players at a Cincinnati Reds summer camp in Brooklyn Park. Pat stood out to me as having above average arm strength, but I didn’t know his name or anything about him. I think he threw 86 miles per hour with his fastball—solid for a high school pitcher—and he threw from a low three-quarters delivery that created some good tailing action.

“As I walked to my car, Pat came up to me and asked if I’d gotten his letter of interest. I hadn’t because I was on vacation when he mailed it.”

Once back in his office, Farley read the letter. Neshek ultimately rejected the Twins’ offer and enrolled at Butler.

“It would have been a disaster to have signed with the Twins,” recalled Neshek. “Steve taught me so much. That first year I really learned how to pitch. I was thrilled to get innings as a freshman.”

At first, Neshek wanted to play shortstop and get to bat in every game, but Farley saw his potential as a pitcher. “He was tall and lanky,” Farley said. “Pitchers with that kind of body usually get bigger and stronger during their college days.

“During practice in the fall of 1999 when Pat started his freshman year, I worked with him on how to throw a slider instead of the loopy high school curveball he had, and I tried to fix a couple of mechanical issues with his delivery.”

Neshek agreed he had work to do. “Mechanically I was a mess,” he said. “My left leg popped out and I flailed my glove. But when Steve taught me that slider, that was a game changer.”

Neshek also developed a four-seam fastball to go with his two-seamer.

“His good fastball and his nasty slider presented a tough challenge for college hitters,” said Farley. “By the time he finished his career at Butler, he had set the school record for strikeouts in a game (18 against Detroit Mercy) and strikeouts in a season (118).”

Control was a problem in Neshek’s freshman year (he walked nearly as many batters as he struck out). By his sophomore year he had refined his control dramatically. “I couldn’t walk anybody if I tried,” he remembered.

“He was a tough competitor and fearless in clutch situations,” Farley added. “He wanted to pitch against the best teams on our schedule. I remember him pitching a one-hitter on a spring trip game against South Carolina, a nationally ranked team.

“Thank heavens I attended that tryout camp!”

Neshek’s teammate and longtime friend Paul Beck echoed Farley’s comments. In a front-page article on Neshek in the Butler Collegian by sports editor Sawyer Goldwein, Beck said, “His competitiveness and confidence are what really stand out. He always pitched in the big games for us. He never backed down and really made us all feel like we could beat anyone at any time.”4

Beck added that he often faced Neshek in batting practice but never made good contact against him.

Neshek was inducted into the Butler University Athletic Hall of Fame in 2018.5

While at Butler, Neshek filled his summers playing baseball in the two amateur leagues, making a name for himself on both circuits. In 2000, after recovering from a broken jaw suffered when he was hit by a line drive in the NCAA tournament, he joined the Wausau (Wisconsin) Woodchucks in the wood-bat Northwoods League. He was instrumental in helping Wausau record its best won-lost record up to that time: 34-29. Neshek pitched in 11 games, going 4-5, with an ERA of 3.23. He struck out 38 batters in 64 innings pitched.6

The next year, Neshek went east and signed with the Wareham Gatemen of the Cape Cod League. The Gatemen won the league championship and Neshek led the pitching staff with a 4-2 record and six saves. Remarkably, he gave up only one earned run in 14 games, for an ERA of 0.41. He was elected to the Cape Cod Baseball League Hall of Fame in 2024.7

Summer baseball gave Neshek a chance to hone his game. It also deepened his love of baseball and all its trappings—a joyful appreciation of the game he’s carried throughout his career and into retirement. “I lived with four other guys,” he remembered about his Northwoods League summer. “They were from California and all over. It was great to have 2,000 fans at a game, and an announcer.” Even the long bus rides to places like Minot (North Dakota) were memorable. “It felt like we were in the big leagues.”

In 2002, the Twins came calling again, drafting him in the sixth round of the June amateur draft. Neshek decided to forgo his senior year at Butler and signed for a $132,000 bonus. “They offered $120, 000,” Neshek remembered. “I struck up a conversation with their minor league director about how I would sign if they bucked up the money a little bit, and he agreed. I signed on the spot.” (He took online courses to finish his degree in finance from Butler in 2024.)

“Pat was ready to sign when the Twins drafted him after his junior year at Butler,” said Farley. “He had punched his ticket by pitching very well in the summer Cape Cod League and had been dominant in our games in the 2002 season. I told Pat we’d love to have him back at Butler but told him I definitely thought he was ready to take that next step into pro ball.”

The Twins assigned him to Elizabethton, Tennessee, in the Appalachian League. At age 21, in his first season as a pro, he pitched in 23 games and was 0-2 but had an ERA of just 0.99. He struck out 41 batters in 27.1 innings. “It was a fun team,” he remembered. “Our pitching coach, Jim Shellenback, drove us to a hotel and told us we had two free nights, then we had to find our own place to stay.”

Neshek made the Appalachian League All-Star team. By this time, his pro mentors had determined that with his unusual windup and delivery point, he was best suited for the bullpen, especially coming in as a reliever against right-handed hitters. In fact, over his entire professional career, right-handers batted just .193 against him, with an on-base percentage of .243 and a slugging percentage of .311.8

In 2003, the Twins sent Neshek first to Quad Cities in the low-A Midwest League, then to Fort Myers in the high-A Florida State League, and finally to New Britain in the AA Eastern League. Overall, he went 8-4 and worked a total of 71.1 innings in 53 games, striking out 87 and recording an ERA of 1.77.

He was back at New Britain and Fort Myers in 2004, going 2-2 for the year with an ERA of 3.52. He appeared in 42 games, pitched 53.2 innings and struck out 57. In 2004, he met his wife-to-be, Stephanee Finger, who was living in Jacksonville, Florida, and had pitched for the softball team at Mercer University in Macon, Georgia. They were married in Las Vegas in 2006 and had four children. The first, Gehrig John, tragically died within 24 hours of his birth in 2012. A son named Hoyt was born in 2014; daughters Shae and Skye followed in 2015 and 2017.

In 2005, Neshek spent the entire year at New Britain. He was 6-4 with 24 saves and an ERA of 2.19, and he struck out 95 hitters in 82.1 innings in 55 games.

Neshek felt he was working as hard as he could and when he was invited to the Twins spring training camp in 2006, he thought he’d done enough to make the team. But the Twins sent him to Rochester in the Triple A International League. Neshek remembered Twins manager Ron  Gardenhire telling him, “Pat, that’s the way it works.”

He didn’t sulk about being cut and put up impressive numbers with the Red Wings. By July he had compiled a 6-2 record with 14 saves, striking out 87 in 60 innings and recording an ERA of 1.95. Those achievements earned him first-half all-league honors and a plane ticket to join the pennant-chasing Twins. He debuted on July 7, 2006, against the Texas Rangers at Ameriquest Field in Arlington.

Although the Twins lost 9-4, Neshek faced just seven batters over two innings, gave up one hit (to Kevin Mench), and struck out one (Mark DeRosa). “I was nervous,” he remembered. “It was hot—100 degrees—and I didn’t feel right. One batter hit one to the warning track. But I had to pinch myself to be sure this was for real.”

In Neshek’s second major league game, on July 17, he was on the mound in the Metrodome in Minneapolis, one of his favorite ballparks with its sagging “Hefty bag” wall in right field, just 327 feet from home plate. Facing Tampa Bay, he struck out one in a clean seventh inning and the Twins won 6-3. He faced the Devil Rays three days later and struck out the side. “I felt I was on my way,” he said.

The Twins were hot, enjoying one of their best years since coming to Minnesota from Washington, DC, in 1961. They went 71-33 after the first week of June and won 96 games. They bested the White Sox 5-1 on the last day of the season to pass the slumping Detroit Tigers and claim the American League Central Division championship.

Working out of a bullpen that included Dennys Reyes, Juan Rincón, Jesse Crain and Joe  Nathan,9 Neshek went 4-2 with an ERA of 2.19 in 32 appearances. He struck out 53 in 37 innings pitched, walking only six. In nine appearances between July 30 and August 23, he gave up no runs. As he remembered, he’d pitch the eighth, Nathan the ninth, and they’d close out the win. Of the 16 pitchers the Twins used that season, Neshek’s ERA was the fifth best on the club. He says he felt he was finally on his way. “I was realizing a dream,” he said. “It was awesome.”

In the divisional playoffs, the Twins didn’t fare so well, losing three straight games to Oakland. Neshek appeared briefly, giving up one hit and one earned run in one complete inning pitched. He was the losing pitcher in Game Two, a 5-2 Twins loss.

But the best was about to come. In 2007, he went 7-2, appearing in 74 games and tossing a total of 70.1 innings. He struck out 74 and recorded an ERA of 2.94, pitching 17 scoreless innings between April 21 and May 26. The Twins were not as successful, however, dropping to 79-83 and finishing third in the AL Central Division.

Neshek almost made the All-Star team that year. He was one of five American League players chosen by fans to appear in the “Monster All-Star Final Vote,” which determined the last spot on the team roster. Ultimately, Red Sox pitcher Hideki Okajima won the balloting.10

Neshek always connected well with fans, both for his on-field performance and his interest in trading baseball cards and autographs. At one time he had a complete set of 1970s Topps cards and a unique Mickey Mantle collection. He traded autographs, sending fans his unique signature featuring a stitched baseball written into his name.11 “Send me an autographed card of any pro player and I’ll send you one of mine,” he would say.12 He continued his memorabilia collecting after his retirement, although eventually he said baseball card prices got too high and he focused on other sports.

In 2021, Twins Daily named him the best sixth-round draft pick the club ever made,13 and in 2007 and 2014 he won the Dick Siebert Award given by the Twins to the most successful athlete from the upper Midwest in honor of the legendary University of Minnesota baseball coach.14

At the end of Neshek’s 2007 season, the injury bug showed up. He began experiencing shoulder pain. In 2008 he tore the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow and pitched just 13.1 innings, his last on May 8.

He had Tommy John surgery in 2009 and missed the entire season. “After so much success, I had to sit out 18 months,” he said. “Some pitchers feel stronger after the surgery. But I felt like I had to learn to pitch all over again. My stuff just wasn’t there.”

His recovery in 2010 was hampered by an injury to his finger and throwing hand. He spent time rehabbing at Rochester and Fort Myers and finished his year with the Twins at 0-1 with an ERA of 5.00 in just nine innings pitched.

The next spring, the San Diego Padres claimed Neshek off waivers, and he alternated between the Padres and their AAA affiliate in Tucson. He became a free agent in September 2011 and Baltimore invited him to spring training, later assigning him to the AAA Norfolk Tides. In August 2012, the Orioles sent him in exchange for cash to the Oakland Athletics, who assigned him to their AAA affiliate Sacramento River Cats, and he spent the rest of 2012 and all of 2013 in the Oakland organization.

His fastball wasn’t what it once was, so he worked with Oakland catchers to reclaim his slider. “I was throwing the slider like 95 percent of the time,” he remembered. “It was slider, slider, slider.” He had modest success, going 2-1 in both 2012 and 2013, with ERAs of 1.37 and 3.37.

Neshek became a free agent at the end of the 2013 season. He wanted to sign with the Milwaukee Brewers—his dad’s favorite team. They weren’t interested, but the Cardinals were. They held spring training in Jupiter, Florida, not far from Neshek’s home in Melbourne Beach, and he qualified for a spot in their 2014 bullpen. He was encouraged by Cardinal ace Adam Wainwright and also worked with catcher Yadier Molina. “He was great,” said Neshek of Molina. “He made his pitchers sooo good. I had a lot of confidence with him.” At the same time, Neshek had gotten his fastball back to 92-93 mph and felt that his slider was sharp and on point. The Cards used him as an eighth-inning specialist and sometimes as a closer.

Those improvements enabled Neshek to go 7-2 that year, with an ERA of 1.87, 68 strikeouts in

67.1 innings, and a career-high six saves. He pitched scoreless ball in 62 of 71 appearances. But what happened just before the All-Star game was special. As Tyler Mason reported for Fox Sports, “St. Louis Cardinals manager Mike Matheny gathered his team in the clubhouse earlier this month to announce that catcher Yadier Molina had made the All-Star team, followed by news that Adam Wainwright and Matt Carpenter would be joining him. Then he added that Neshek was also selected to the team that would be competing against the American League in Neshek’s hometown of Minneapolis. ‘My teammates were coming up and giving me high-fives, and they cheered really loud,’ Neshek recalled, pausing to gather his emotions as his eyes welled up….”15

Even though Neshek gave up three hits and two earned runs and was the losing pitcher as the American League won 5-3, his All-Star appearance was memorable. His family, including new baby Hoyt and Pat’s brother Paul, a groundskeeper at Target Field, gathered for photographs.16

He became a free agent after the 2014 season and signed a $12 million two-year contract with Houston, helping them to improve 16 games in 2015 and become runners up in the American League West. Neshek was 3-6 with an ERA of 3.62 that year, then 2-2 with an ERA of 3.06 in 2016.

In November 2016, Neshek was traded to Philadelphia for a player to be named later. But before the 2017 season started, in March, he represented the United States as a member of the American team at the World Baseball Classic. He said he hadn’t thought much of the WBC before, but the experience changed his mind. “It was a big deal,” he remembered. Attendance was strong, and he said each game felt like a World Series contest.

He enjoyed the experience. “It would be a fun team to play with all year because we have so many great guys,” he said. “It might cost a little money, but it would be so much fun.”17

Neshek pitched scoreless innings in five of the team’s games, as the US won the title, beating Puerto Rico in the championship, 8-0. He was never sure why he was chosen for the team and remembered being brought in against Japan with two on, two out and the US leading 2-1 in the eighth inning. The batter was left-handed power hitter Yoshi Tsutsugo. “I hung a changeup and he hit one to the warning track,” Neshek said, chuckling about it. “Manager Jim  Leyland came up to me afterwards and said, ‘That’s why we brought you in, Pat.’”

In a photo of the US victory celebration by Harry How of Getty Images, Neshek is shown running the team’s trophy and mascot—an ungainly statue of a bald eagle—onto the field after the final win.18

Neshek pitched very well for the Phillies, posting a won-lost record of 3-2, with an ERA of 1.12 and 45 strikeouts in 40.1 innings. For the entire season, he had a remarkable .087 walks per nine innings rate (led all relievers). He was named to the National League All-Star team, and at the All-Star Game, he tossed a scoreless second inning in the NL’s 2-1 loss to the American League.

Despite this success, on July 27, Philadelphia traded him to Colorado for three players—José Gomez, J.D. Hammer, and Alejandro Requena.19 Like many others, Neshek found the light air of Denver hard to pitch in. “Worst place in the world for pitchers,” he remembered. “The outfield is so big they bring the fielders in close for practice, so they don’t have to run so much.” Nonetheless, he did well. In 22 innings pitched, he compiled a record of 2-1 with an ERA of 2.45 and 24 strikeouts.

In December 2017, Neshek returned to Philadelphia, signing a two-year, $16.2 million contract, with a club option for 2020. Shoulder and hamstring injuries plagued him in 2018 and 2019.

When the Phillies declined his option for 2020, he retired. He had just turned 39 years old and was one of the oldest players in the league. “The kids were starting school,” he said. “It was time to go home.”

If there’s one thing Neshek loves more than baseball, it’s family. His dad was a good model—playing ball with his boys in the backyard, coaching their neighborhood and Little League teams, and driving them to Twins games.

As his own family grew, Neshek’s devotion to it deepened. His oldest child, Hoyt, plays in junior baseball, and Pat said he looks a lot like he did as a youngster— the same swagger and throwing abilities. “Pat sees himself in the way Hoyt grins after a big hit, in the sidearm motion that sometimes slips into his delivery, and the unshakeable joy he carries onto the field,” wrote Kaileigh Grieb for usabaseball.com in August 2025.20

Then there’s the glove—the floppy old black one he used during his entire career. As reported by Matt Breen in the Philadelphia Inquirer, Neshek bought the glove by mail order from Katz Baseball Gloves in 2001.21 As his career blossomed, Mizuno offered to provide him with a new glove and pay him $10,000 for using it. He preferred his old broken-in glove, but Mizuno convinced him to sew their company logo into the leather. Later—after the company withdrew the sponsorship—Neshek cut the logos off his and replaced one with the initials GJN in honor of his and Stephanee’s firstborn, Gehrig John Neshek. From 2012 to the end of his career, Neshek carried those initials with him on every pitch. “I thought it would be cool to have him out there with me,” he said.
