Michael Brooks Kieschnick (born June 6, 1972 in Robstown, Texas) was a relief pitcher and left-handed pinch hitter who last played for the Baltimore Orioles. He was originally selected by the Chicago Cubs in the 1st round of the 1993 amateur draft as a hitter, but after bouncing around the major and minor leagues for a decade, revived his career by returning to pitching, at which he excelled in his years at the University of Texas at Austin. In 2003 and 2004, the Brewers have taken advantage of Kieschnick's versatility, using him as a pinch hitter, designated hitter, and left fielder in addition to his primary role in the bullpen. Before joining the Brewers, he played in the major leagues with the Cubs, Cincinnati Reds, and Colorado Rockies. In a total of 306 career at-bats, his batting average was .248. In his two seasons of pitching at the major league level, his earned run average was 4.59.

On February 15, 2006, Kieschnick announced his retirement.
