    Kristin James Benson (born November 7, 1974, in Superior, Wisconsin) is a Major League Baseball right-handed starting pitcher who is currently in the Philadelphia Phillies minor league system pitching for the Lehigh Valley IronPigs Benson pitched for the Pittsburgh Pirates from to , New York Mets from 2004 to , and Baltimore Orioles in .

    High School
    Benson attended Sprayberry High School in Marietta, GA and graduated in 1993 with honors.

    College career



    Benson attended Clemson University from 1993 to 1996. He won Dick Howser Trophy for the National Collegiate Baseball Player of the Year and the Rotary Smith Award in 1996 and still holds many school pitching records. His teammates included fellow future major-leaguers Billy Koch and Matthew LeCroy both of whom played with him in the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia, USA where they won the bronze medal. He also was honored as the ACC Male Athlete of the Year in 1996.

    Professional career
    Benson was the first pick of the Major League Baseball Draft. His best season came in 2000 with Pittsburgh when he posted career bests in earned run average, strikeouts, innings pitched, and games pitched as well as his only double-digit strikeout games and his career-best three-hit complete game despite the fact that he is a groundball pitcher. After , he needed Tommy John surgery and missed the entire season. The New York Mets acquired him near the trading deadline of the 2004 season. On January 21, 2006, Benson was traded to the Baltimore Orioles for pitchers Jorge Julio and John Maine. Benson missed the entire season with a torn rotator cuff. The Orioles agreed to terms on a one-year deal with Steve Trachsel, who replaced Benson in their starting rotation, before being traded to the Chicago Cubs for minor league players. On November 1, 2007, the Orioles released him as a free agent by declining to pick up his $7.5 million option and by paying a $500,000 buyout.

    On February 13, 2008, the Philadelphia Phillies agreed to sign Benson to a minor league deal, and is currently listed on the roster of the clubs Triple-A affiliate Lehigh Valley IronPigs, in Allentown, Pennsylvania. On June 29, 2008, Benson made his Triple A debut for the Lehigh Valley IronPigs, throwing 73 pitches
