Dinesh Patel

Dinesh Patel

Dinesh Patel (born May 8, 1989 in Lucknow, India) is a right-handed baseball pitcher that played in the Pittsburgh Pirates organization. Along with Rinku Singh, he is the first Indian national ever to sign a contract with a major American sports club.[1]

Patel and Singh had never thrown a baseball before besting over 37,000 competitors in The Million Dollar Arm, an Indian reality television show designed to find new baseball talent.[2]

Patel, along with Singh, played for the Pirates' Gulf Coast League team in Bradenton, Florida.[3] He had a successful, if brief, 2009 season for the Pirates, picking up a victory on August 13 (exactly one month after his countryman Singh got his first, and only, win of the year) and finishing with a 1-0 record and 1.42 ERA, allowing two runs (one earned) on six hits in 6.1 innings.[4]

Patel's 2010 season was less successful, allowing seven earned runs in 7 1/3 innings over nine games; he was released in November.[5]
