Shane David Halter (born November 8, 1969) is a former Major League Baseball infielder/outfielder and right-handed batter.

High school years

Halter attended Hooks High School in Hooks, Texas and was a letterman in football, basketball, baseball, track, and golf. Halter played for the Norfolk Tides, a minor league baseball team located in Norfolk, Virginia.

Major League Baseball career

Halter played for the Kansas City Royals (1997–1998), New York Mets (1999), Detroit Tigers (2000–2003), and Anaheim Angels (2004). Although he was essentially a backup player, he had notable power and he was adequate defensively in all infield and outfield positions.^{[citation needed]}

In his 644-game career, Halter batted .246, with 45 home runs and 197 runs batted in.
