Brad Komminsk (born April 4, 1961 in Lima, Ohio), is a former Major League Baseball outfielder. Despite a sterling record in the minor leagues, he never played well in the majors. He is currently the hitting coach of the Norfolk Tides, the Class-AAA affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles.

He was nicknamed "The Phenom".

Since the end of his playing days, Komminsk has been a minor league coach and manager with several teams, including the Kinston Indians.

Fast facts

• On June 5, 1979, he was drafted by the Atlanta Braves in the 1st round (4th pick) of the 1979 amateur draft.
• On January 20, 1987, he was traded by the Atlanta Braves to the Milwaukee Brewers for Dion James.

• When he was a member of the Braves he once hit a grand slam that ended up winning $100,000 for a lucky listener whose name was randomly drawn in a radio contest. The contest was sponsored by Goody's Headache Powders and an excited Ernie Johnson (Sr.) made the call on the Braves Radio Network

In 1994 and 1995 Komminsk played for the Italian baseball team of the Rimini Pirates : he led the league in HR and RBI in 1994, when he was a treath for the Triple Crown there.
