Steven Michael Parris (born December 17, 1967), is a former Major League Baseball pitcher for four teams from 1995-2003. He played for 14 years, including his time in the minors.

Amateur career

Parris attended Joliet West High School in Joliet, Illinois and the University of St. Francis. In 1988, he played collegiate summer baseball in the Cape Cod Baseball League for the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox.

He was drafted in the 5th round of the 1989 Major League Baseball draft by the Philadelphia Phillies.

Professional career

His best major league season was 1999, when he posted an 11-4 record with a 3.50 ERA for the Cincinnati Reds.

He was the losing pitcher in a 5-0 Reds loss, eliminating the team from the playoffs.
