Michael Anthony Napoli (born October 31, 1981) is an American former professional baseball first baseman, catcher, and first base coach.
He was selected in the 17th round (500th overall) of the 2000 Major League Baseball Draft, then played in MLB for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Texas Rangers, Boston Red Sox, and Cleveland Indians. Napoli was primarily a catcher from 2005 to 2012, before spending the remainder of his career as a first baseman and designated hitter. He holds the all-time single-season records for most strikeouts by both a Red Sox player and an Indians player. In 2009 he led all American League catchers in errors, and in 2016 he led all AL first basemen in errors.[1]
