Mike Felder, known for his speed and defensive skills, played Major League Baseball primarily as an outfielder. Born on November 18, 1962, in Vallejo, California, Felder's journey to the major leagues began when he was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the third round of the 1981 MLB Draft. He spent several years honing his skills in the minor leagues before making his MLB debut with the Brewers on September 11, 1985.

Felder's time with the Brewers showcased his abilities as a reliable outfielder and a threat on the base paths. Standing at just 5 feet 8 inches tall, he was often one of the smaller players on the field, but he used his stature to his advantage, becoming known for his agility and quickness. During his tenure with Milwaukee, Felder primarily played center field but was versatile enough to cover all outfield positions when needed.

In 1991, Felder was traded to the San Francisco Giants, where he continued to demonstrate his defensive prowess and speed. His role with the Giants often saw him coming off the bench as a pinch-runner or defensive replacement, roles in which he excelled. Felder's ability to steal bases and cover ground in the outfield made him a valuable asset to the Giants during his time with the team.

After his stint with the Giants, Felder went on to play for the Seattle Mariners and the Houston Astros. With the Mariners, he continued to be a reliable option in the outfield, contributing both defensively and offensively when called upon. His time with the Astros marked the final chapter of his major league career, where he played his last game on August 11, 1994.

Throughout his career, Felder was known for his speed, accumulating a total of 161 stolen bases. His batting average over his career was .249, with 15 home runs and 128 RBIs. While not a power hitter, Felder's ability to get on base and create scoring opportunities was a valuable asset to the teams he played for.

Felder's career in Major League Baseball spanned nearly a decade, during which he played in 1,019 games.
