Andrew Warren Brackman (born December 4, 1985) is an American former Major League Baseball (MLB) pitcher who played for the New York Yankees in 2011.

[1][2] Brackman attended North Carolina State University where he played two seasons as a dual-sport athlete, in basketball and baseball.

[4] He was starting pitcher of the first game of the 2005 ACC baseball tournament, striking out five batters in seven innings to earn the victory against the Miami Hurricanes.

[6] After the Wolfpack was defeated in the 2006 NCAA tournament second round by Texas,[7] Brackman chose not to return to the basketball team the next season, and instead focused on developing his pitching with hopes of doing well in professional baseball.

[8] Brackman suffered a stress fracture to his hip in his sophomore year of baseball, limiting him to only seven games and a disappointing 1–4 record with a 6.09 ERA.

[9][4] In the summer of 2006, he pitched for the Orleans Cardinals in the Cape Cod League earning a 1–0 record with a 1.09 ERA.

[11] Brackman's junior year at NC State saw a return to his freshman-year numbers: in 13 games he struck out 74 batters in 78 innings with a 3.81 ERA and a record of 6–4.

[15] The club also held options over Brackman for the 2011, 2012, and 2013 seasons which would have boosted the total value of his contract over $13 million if he met his bonus requirements.
