Michael Sodders

Michael "Mike" Sodders is a former minor league baseball pitcher who attended Plant City High School and then the University of Alabama. He was the all-time strikeout and wins leader for the University of Alabama until 2002, when the records were broken. He still holds the record for games started and the undesired record for most losses.
He was originally drafted by the Montreal Expos in the 25th round of the 1987 draft, but he did not sign. He was then drafted by the Chicago Cubs in the 29th round of the 1988 draft, and this time he did sign.
Perhaps Sodders is most well known for being the player the Los Angeles Dodgers received in exchange for Kal Daniels on June 27, 1992.
From 2007 until 2009, Sodders was head coach at Plant City High School with a three year record of 24-47 (winning percentage of .338). However, after a miserable 8-16 record in 2009—including losing 9 of 10 home games as well as his final five games in a row--he was let go.
