Keith Mitchell

Keith Alexander Mitchell (born August 6, 1969) is an American former professional baseball player and coach. He played parts of four seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Atlanta Braves, Seattle Mariners, Cincinnati Reds and Boston Red Sox. He also played in the KBO League for the Haitai Tigers.

Career Mitchell was drafted by the Braves in the fourth round of the 1987 MLB draft. He debuted with the Braves on July 23, 1991, and hit .318 in 48 games that season, but that was his only MLB season with Atlanta. He did, however, earn some playing time as the left fielder for the Braves in that year's postseason.

In 128 games over four seasons, Mitchell posted a .260 batting average with 38 runs, 8 home runs and 29 RBI. 2006–07, Mitchell served as the Quad Cities' manager. In 2008, he was the hitting coach of the Palm Beach Cardinals.
