Michael Jay Fuentes (born July 11, 1958) is an American former Major League Baseball player. He attended Florida State University, where he won the Golden Spikes Award in 1981.
The Montreal Expos selected Fuentes in the second round of the 1981 Major League Baseball draft.[1] Fuentes was 25 years old when he broke into the big leagues on September 2, 1983, with the Expos. He played his only nine games in the majors that month, eight as a pinch hitter or pinch runner and one in left field. He went 2-for-8 at the plate, with no extra base hits or RBI.
In 1995, Fuentes was a replacement player in spring training for the Florida Marlins during the ongoing strike.[2]
Fuentes was elected to the College Baseball Hall of Fame in 2023.[3]
