"David Anthony Fleming" is a former Major League Baseball pitcher who played from 1991 to 1995, mostly for the Seattle Mariners.

Fleming was born in Jackson Heights, Queens, New York, and went to high school in Mahopac, New York. He pitched for the Georgia Bulldogs/University of Georgia, leading them to a College World Series title in 1990.

Fleming was selected in the third round of the 1990 Major League Baseball Draft/1990 Major League Baseball Draft by the Seattle Mariners. He won a career high 17 games, including 9 in a row, for the Mariners in his rookie season of 1992. His earned run average/ERA that year was 3.39, and he took third place in the American League/AL Major League Baseball Rookie of the Year Award/Rookie of the Year voting (behind winner Pat Listach).

After going 29-15 in his first two MLB seasons, Fleming began to struggle with arm trouble. On 7 July 1995, he was traded by the Mariners to the Kansas City Royals for Bob Milacki. He pitched only 9 games for the Royals before undergoing surgery, and never pitched in the Major Leagues again.

He became a father-figure to me. He was a big part of my life.

I've known this family for a long time. And I want to tell you your father would be proud.

I would love to have coach Bowles there, but I'm looking forward to the whole weekend.

I had been an 800 runner and I loved the 1,500, but not the 5,000. He said I didn't have the pure leg speed for the 800 and if I wanted to excel after college I should run the longer distances.
