Randy Niemann is an American professional baseball coach and a former pitcher who appeared in 122 Major League games, all but ten in relief, in 1979–80 and 1982–87 for the Houston Astros, Pittsburgh Pirates, Chicago White Sox, New York Mets and Minnesota Twins. Niemann, a southpaw pitcher, originally signed with the New York Yankees after he was selected in the second round of the secondary phase of the 1975 MLB draft, and his active career spanned fourteen pro seasons. In the Major Leagues, he worked in 200 innings pitched, and allowed 219 hits and 82 bases on balls, with 102 strikeouts, three saves and three complete games. He won seven of fifteen decisions (.467) and compiled a career earned run average of 4.64. As a hitter, Niemann posted a .267 batting average with two runs and two bases on balls in 33 plate appearances. Defensively, he handled 53 total chances without an error for a perfect 1.000 fielding percentage. Ed Lynch is an American former professional baseball pitcher and executive who played in Major League Baseball, and then became the General Manager of the Chicago cubs. During his career, he pitched and batted right- handed, and his pitch selection included a fastball, slider, changeup and slurve. Lynch debuted with the Mets on August 31, 1980 against the San Francisco Giants, and gave up four earned runs in just 1.1 inning out of the bullpen. He won his first major league start on September 13 against the Chicago Cubs, snapping a thirteen-game losing streak for his club. For the season, Lynch was 1–1 with a 5.12 ERA in four starts. In 1985 Lynch went 10–8 with a 3.44 ERA in a career high 191 innings pitched. Baseball writer Bill James said at that time that Lynch had the best control of any National League pitcher other than LaMarr Hoyt.
