(June 17, 2024) — Former Major League Baseball player Mike Brumley died in a car crash on Saturday night in Mississippi, according to Field Level Media. Brumley was 61 years old.
Brumley’s MLB career spanned from 1987 to 1995, during which he played for six teams. Drafted by the Red Sox in 1983, he continued his baseball journey as a coach, most recently with the Braves organization, where he developed close relationships with several players, including Austin Riley.
Riley, who was awoken at 2:30 a.m. with the news, expressed his sorrow on Sunday. The Mariners, a team Brumley played for in 1990 and later coached, also paid tribute.
“We are saddened by the passing of former Mariners player and coach, Mike Brumley,” the team posted on X. “Our hearts go out to his family, friends, and loved ones. Mike’s impact on the field, in our organization, and across baseball, was felt by generations of players.”
