Chadwick Lee "Chad" Bradford (born September 14, 1974) is a former
Major League Baseball (MLB)
relief pitcher. He was well known for his extreme
submarine-style pitching, and his success in MLB despite his unconventional delivery and the slow speed at which he threw the ball (his fastball was only in the mid 80-mph range). This led to him figuring prominently in the
Michael Lewis book
Moneyball, which in 2011 was made into the
film of the same title. Bradford is played by actor
Casey Bond in the film.
