Stephen Russell Braun (born May 8, 1948) is a former Major League Baseball outfielder, third baseman, and designated hitter.
Braun was drafted by the Minnesota Twins in the 10th round of the 1966 Major League Baseball Draft. He did not play baseball in 1968 or 1969 as he was on baseball's military list from September 6, 1967, until September 23, 1969.[1] Braun made his Major League Baseball debut with the Minnesota Twins on April 6, 1971. He appeared in his final regular season game on October 6, 1985.
Braun was a member of the St. Louis Cardinals team that defeated the Milwaukee Brewers in the 1982 World Series.
He is one of the few players with over 100 pinch hits.
After his playing career, Braun became a hitting coach, working on the Cardinals' Major League staff in 1990 and then spending 12 years (1991–2002) as a minor league coach and hitting coordinator for the Boston Red Sox.
