Daniel Missaki (born April 9, 1996) is a Brazilian professional baseball pitcher who is currently with the Tochigi Golden Braves of Baseball Challenge League.

Career

Missaki represented Brazil at the 2013 World Baseball Classic, and was the youngest player in the tournament, at just 16 years old. Following the tournament, on June 19, 2013, Missaki signed as an international free agent with the Seattle Mariners.[1]

After signing with Seattle, Missaki made his professional debut that season with the AZL Brewers, going 0-1 with a 6.23 ERA in 13 innings pitched. In 2014, he played with the Pulaski Mariners where he pitched to a 6-3 record and a 2.76 ERA in 11 starts, and in 2015, Missaki pitched for the Clinton LumberKings. On May 1, 2015, Missaki and two relievers combined on a no-hitter for the LumberKings against the Cedar Rapids Kernels.[2] Later that month, he underwent Tommy John surgery that ended his season.[3] In six starts prior to the surgery, he was 1-2 with a 3.41 ERA.[4]

Following the 2015 season, the Mariners traded Missaki, Carlos Herrera, and Freddy Peralta to the Milwaukee Brewers for Adam Lind.[3] He missed both the 2016 and 2017 seasons after having another Tommy John surgery. In 2018, despite making a couple of appearances in spring training, Missaki did not pitch in a regular season game. He was released from the Brewers organization on September 18, 2018.

Missaki signed with the Tochigi Golden Braves of Baseball Challenge League on April 10, 2020.[5]

International career

He was selected for Brazil national baseball team at the 2013 World Baseball Classic Qualification, 2013 World Baseball Classic, 2019 Pan American Games Qualifier[6], and 2021 World Baseball Classic Qualifier.
