Eric James Byrnes (born February 16, 1976), is a baseball analyst and former professional baseball outfielder. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Oakland Athletics, Colorado Rockies, Baltimore Orioles, Arizona Diamondbacks, and Seattle Mariners. Byrnes retired from playing in 2010 and was an analyst for MLB Network until 2021.[1]
Byrnes was considered a player who relied on his speed and hustle.[2] He could hit for power, but tended to be a "free-swinger" and went through hitting droughts.[2] Byrnes was ranked in the top-three for best defensive left fielders in John Dewan's publication, Fielding Bible.[3][4] Byrnes was selected to the All-Time great Oakland A's 50th Season team in 2018.
