Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox baseball biography David Paul Wainhouse (born November 7, 1967) is a Canadian former professional baseball player who pitched for seven seasons in Major League Baseball. A right-hander, Wainhouse was primarily a middle reliever.

Amateur career

Wainhouse attended Mercer Island High School in Mercer Island, Washington, where he played varsity baseball in his senior year. He attended college at Washington State, where he joined the baseball squad as a walk-on. Wainhouse had a strong season in his junior year, finishing with a 7–0 record.

The Montreal Expos selected Wainhouse with their first-round pick of the 1988 Major League Baseball Draft, making him the first Canadian-born player picked the first round as well as the highest-ever pick out of Washington State.

Later that summer, prior to making his professional debut, Wainhouse was named to the Canada's Olympic baseball team. At the Seoul Games, baseball was a demonstration event. Canada finished the preliminary round with a 1–2 record and failed to qualify for the medal round.

Professional career

Wainhouse made his pro debut in Шаблон:Baseball year with the West Palm Beach Expos of the Single-A Florida State League. He progressed rapidly through the Expos farm system, earning a promotion to the Jacksonville Expos of the Double-A Southern League in Шаблон:Baseball year. The Шаблон:Baseball year season saw Wainhouse start with the Harrisburg Senators of the Double-A Eastern League, get promoted to the Triple-A Indianapolis Indians and, as a September call-up, see a two-game stint in Montreal.

While playing with Indianapolis in Шаблон:Baseball year, Wainhouse suffered a knee injury that put him on the disabled list for the remainder of the season. That offseason, the Expos traded him to the Seattle Mariners (along with Kevin Foster) for Frank Bolick and a player to be named later. He only appeared in three games for the Mariners at the start of the Шаблон:Baseball year season before getting demoted to the minors.

A back injury kept Wainhouse out of action in Шаблон:Baseball year. He spent the following season in the minor league systems of the Toronto Blue Jays and Florida Marlins, failing to return to the majors until Шаблон:Baseball year, with the Pittsburgh Pirates. He split time in Шаблон:Baseball year and Шаблон:Baseball year between the Pirates and their Triple-A affiliate, the Calgary Cannons. At the end of the 1997 campaign, Wainhouse signed with the Colorado Rockies. Just as he did in Pittsburgh, Wainhouse spent Шаблон:Baseball year and Шаблон:Baseball year shuttling between the major league club and their Triple-A farm team, this time the Colorado Springs Sky Sox.

Wainhouse signed with the St. Louis Cardinals in Шаблон:Baseball year, once again splitting time between Triple-A and the majors that year. He appeared in nine games with the Cardinals before an injury ended his season.

Wainhouse retired after the Шаблон:Baseball year season. In a seven-season major league career, he compiled a career record of 2–3 in 85 games with an ERA of 7.37. Wainhouse now lives in Kent, Washington with his wife and two children. He currently operates a baseball academy and has been named as the assistant coach of the Seattle University Redhawks baseball program.
