Biographical Information[edit]
Mike Brumley was a journeyman infielder who saw action with six teams between 1987 and 1995. He saw action in a career best 92 games with the 1989 Detroit Tigers, but meager returns (.198/.251/.255 in 212 at bats) relegated him to organizational depth.

After his major league career, Brumley became a manager in the Arizona Diamondbacks (1998-1999) and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (2001-2004) minor league systems. He was a minor league bunting instructor for the Chicago White Sox in 2000. From 2005 to 2007, he was the minor league field coordinator for the Texas Rangers. Brumley returned to the field to manage the Ogden Raptors in 2008. In 2010, he became the third base coach of the Seattle Mariners. In 2014, he was named assistant hitting coach of the Chicago Cubs. He coached for the Uni-President 7-Eleven Lions of the CPBL in 2016. He was the Atlanta Braves' minor league hitting coordinator from 2018 to 2022.
