Warren Dale Newson (born July 3, 1964) is an American former professional baseball outfielder. He played all or part of eight seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) from 1991-98. He played for the Chicago White Sox (1991–1995), Seattle Mariners (1995) and Texas Rangers (1996–1998). He also played for the Kia Tigers of the KBO League in 2002.[1]
The San Diego Padres drafted Newson out of Middle Georgia College in January 1986.[2] The Padres traded him, Joey Cora, and Kevin Garner before the start of the 1991 season for pitchers Steve Rosenberg and Adam Peterson.[3] He debuted in late May, working regularly as a pinch hitter in his rookie season.[4]
Newson was given the nickname "The Deacon" by White Sox play-by-play announcer Ken Harrelson.[5][2] Newson possessed exceptional strike zone judgment, prompting Bill James to herald him as a freely-available player who could help many teams win.[citation needed]
On July 18, 1995, the White Sox traded Newson to the Mariners for a player to be named later, with Jeff Darwin going to Chicago after the season.[6] Newson hit .292 down the stretch for Seattle and batted 0-for-1 in the postseason.[1] After the season, he signed with the Rangers.[7]
In 2000, Newson was the Mexican League batting champion, hitting .386 with 39 home runs for Algodoneros de Unión Laguna.[8]
