David William Telgheder (born November 11, 1966) is an American former Major League Baseball (MLB) pitcher who played for the New York Mets and Oakland Athletics from 1993 to 1998.

Telgedher was born in New York to Bill and Ruth Telgedher and raised on the fruit farm his parents owned in Slate Hill, New York.[1] As a youth, he idolized Catfish Hunter and Ron Guidry[2] and was a fan of the New York Yankees "until Steinbrenner started trading everybody," including Chris Chambliss, Graig Nettles and Sparky Lyle.[3]

Telgheder attended the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and in 1987 he played collegiate summer baseball with the Harwich Mariners of the Cape Cod Baseball League.[4] He was selected by the Mets in the 31st round of the 1989 MLB draft.
