Career
editAfter attending Oklahoma State University, he was selected by the Cleveland Indians in the 17th round of the 1990 amateur draft. Mlicki was primarily a starting pitcher in the major leagues, but did earn one major league save. On June 21, 1996, he pitched 3 shutout innings to nail down a 9–4 victory over the Reds, saving the win for middle reliever Jerry Dipoto.[1]
On June 16, 1997, he led the New York Mets to a 6–0 win over the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium in the first ever non-exhibition game played between the two teams, pitching a complete game shutout.[2] On October 10, 2001, he made his only postseason appearance, being credited with the loss in Game 2 of the National League Division Series despite not giving up an earned run in the five innings he pitched.[3] Mlicki failed to make the Milwaukee Brewers roster during spring training in 2003, and retired shortly afterward.[4]
