}} Michael Blair Choice (born November 10, 1989) is an American professional baseball outfielder who is a free agent. Choice played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Oakland Athletics and Texas Rangers, and in the KBO League for the Nexen Heroes. Choice played college baseball at the University of Texas at Arlington before the Athletics made him their first round draft pick in 2010. He made his MLB debut with the Athletics in 2013, and played for the Rangers in 2014 and 2015. Amateur careerChoice attended Mansfield Timberview High School in Arlington, Texas. He played for the school's baseball team as a catcher and pitcher.[1] He had a .506 batting average during his senior year.[1] Though universities in the Big 12 Conference scouted Choice, he received his only scholarship offer from the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA),[1] where he played college baseball for the Texas–Arlington Mavericks baseball team of the Southland Conference. Due to the number of catchers and middle infielders on the team, Choice played as a center fielder.[4] As a freshman in 2008, Choice led the team in with a .376 batting average, seven home runs, and 51 runs batted in (RBIs). That year, Choice was named Second Team College Freshman All-American Outfielder and Southland Conference Freshman of the Year. In 2009, he was named Southland Conference All-Star Outfielder. In the summer of 2009, he played for the United States national baseball team in the World Baseball Challenge.[1] As a junior in 2010, Choice hit .393 with 16 home runs, a .568 on-base percentage, and a .704 slugging percentage.[1] He was named First Team College All-American Outfielder,[2] Southland Conference All-Star Outfielder, and Southland Conference Player of the Year. He was also named a semifinalist for the Golden Spikes Award, which is given to the best amateur baseball player of the year.[1] In his three years at UTA, Choice batted .392 and hit a school-record 34 home runs.[1] Professional careerOakland AthleticsThe Oakland Athletics selected Choice with their first round pick, tenth overall, in the 2010 Major League Baseball Draft.[1] Choice was the first UTA player to be drafted in the first round, and the highest selection in Southland Conference history, tying Ben Sheets of Louisiana-Monroe, who was selected tenth overall in 1999.[3] Choice signed with the Athletics on July 30 for a $2 million signing bonus.[4] That season, he played for the Arizona League Athletics of the Rookie-level Arizona League and Vancouver Canadians of the Class-A Northwest League. In 2011, he played for the Stockton Ports of the Class-A Advanced California League, where he batted .283 with 30 home runs, along with 82 RBIs. Playing center field for the Midland RockHounds of the Class-AA Texas League, he batted .264 with six home runs and 43 RBIs in the first 69 games of the season, as he was named to appear in the 2012 All-Star Futures Game.[5] His season ended prematurely due to a broken hand suffered when he was hit by a pitch in July.[6] Choice spent the 2013 season with the Sacramento River Cats of the Class AAA Pacific Coast League (PCL), where he batted .302 with 14 home runs and 89 RBIs in 132 games. The Athletics selected his contract on September 1, 2013.[7][8] He made his major league debut the following day.[9] Texas RangersOn December 3, 2013, the Athletics traded Choice and infielder Chris Bostick to the Texas Rangers for outfielder Craig Gentry and pitcher Josh Lindblom.[10][11] Choice made the Rangers' Opening Day roster.[12] He hit his first career home run against the Houston Astros off of Kevin Chapman, becoming the first Rangers' player to hit his first career home run in a pitch-hit at-bat.[13] Struggling with a .177 batting average, the Rangers demoted Choice to the Round Rock Express of the PCL in July.[22] The Rangers promoted Choice back to the major leagues in August.[14] His season ended when he strained his hamstring in September; he batted .182 for the Rangers.[15] Choice competed in spring training to become the Rangers' starting left fielder, but he struggled and was reassigned to minor league camp during the competition.[16] Choice spent the 2015 season with Round Rock, and was designated for assignment on August 18.[17] Cleveland IndiansThe Rangers traded Choice to the Cleveland Indians in exchange for cash considerations on August 21, and the Indians optioned him to the Columbus Clippers of the Class AAA International League.[18] Choice finished the 2015 season with Columbus, and was designated for assignment after the season.[19] He cleared waivers and was sent outright to Columbus, and invited to 2016 spring training as a non-roster player. Baltimore OriolesChoice began the 2017 season in the Baltimore Orioles organization. They assigned him to the Norfolk Tides of the International League, where he batted 1-for-26 in 10 games before he was released. Milwaukee BrewersOn May 5, 2017, Choice signed a minor league deal with the Milwaukee Brewers. He played for the Biloxi Shuckers of the Class AA Southern League.[20] Nexen HeroesOn July 22, 2017, the Brewers sold Choice's contract to the Nexen Heroes of the KBO League.[21] Choice re-signed with the Heroes for $600,000 on November 24, 2017.[22] Choice batted .307 with 17 home runs in 46 games for Nexen, and was resigned for the 2018 season. He batted .258 with 17 home runs in 96 games, and Nexen released Choice on August 7, 2018.[23] Diablos Rojos del MéxicoOn August 16, 2018, Choice signed with the Diablos Rojos del México of the Mexican League.[24] He became a free agent following the season.
