Mitch Fienemann made his US debut in 2009. Fienemann was signed by the Boston Red Sox in 2007 but found out a few days later that he would need shoulder surgery. Boston released him and Fienemann wound up working in 2008 for the Australian Submarine Corporation. Tony Harris spotted a rejuvenated Fienemann and signed him for the Pittsburgh Pirates in early 2009. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette listed him as the first Australian amateur ever to sign with the Pirates.
