Matthew John Wise (born November 18, 1975), is an American former professional baseball player. A right-handed pitcher, he played all or part of eight seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) between 2000 and 2008. He is currently the bullpen coach for the Los Angeles Angels.

Career

Playing career

Wise attended Pepperdine University and Cal State Fullerton. In 1995, he played collegiate summer baseball in the Cape Cod Baseball League for the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox.[1]

Wise was drafted in the sixth round of the 1997 MLB draft. He made his MLB debut on August 2, 2000 with the Anaheim Angels. After missing the entire 2003 season due to injury, he was released by the Angels and signed with the Milwaukee Brewers. The New York Mets signed Wise to a one-year contract on December 18, 2007.

In 209 career appearances, he had an ERA of 4.23. His two best pitches were an 89-92 mile per hour fastball and he is known for his changeup because of his deceptive arm action.

Retirement

Wise announced his retirement from MLB at the relatively young age of 33 on March 6, 2009.

Coaching career

Wise was named the bullpen coach for the Los Angeles Angels on January 1, 2020.

gollark: Yes, with a new world.

gollark: Indeed.

gollark: I could cheat in some midgameish stuff, but that would be cheaty.
