Edward Martin Herrmann (August 27, 1946 – December 22, 2013) was an American professional baseball player born in San Diego, California.

He played in Major League Baseball as a catcher for the Chicago White Sox, the New York Yankees, the California Angels, the Houston Astros and the Montreal Expos from 1967 through 1978.

[1][12] Unfortunately for Herrmann, trying to catch the unpredictable knuckleball pitch also contributed to his leading American League catchers four times in passed balls allowed.

[2][14][15] He served as a third-string catcher for the Yankees during the 1975 season, working behind Thurman Munson and ahead of Rick Dempsey, before he was purchased in February 1976 by the California Angels.

Herrmann played only a half season with the Angels during which he platooned alongside right hand hitting catcher Andy Etchebarren.

[21] During the same period, he collaborated as a year-round coach for Del Mar Powerhouse Archived 2009-07-09 at the Wayback Machine and the North County Cobras, as well as a volunteer for The Rock Academy Warriors baseball team.
