James Micah Hoffpauir (born March 1, 1980) is an American former professional baseball first baseman and outfielder.

He attended Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas, where he played for the Cardinals, where he holds a school record in nearly every major offensive category.

In 2004, Hoffpauir made the leap from Single-A Daytona to Triple-A Iowa, where he played in only one game before being sent down to the Double-A West Tenn Diamond Jaxx.

He began the 2006 campaign with West Tenn, but was moved up to Triple-A Iowa, where he had his best offensive production year of his career with 22 home runs and 80 RBIs to go along with .267 average.

With all-star Derrek Lee at first base on the major league team and no openings in the outfield available, Hoffpauir returned to Triple-A Iowa for the 2007 season.

He made his major league debut that day, pinch-hitting for Jason Marquis and striking out against Pittsburgh Pirates reliever John Grabow.

In the 2009 MLB season, Hoffpauir was a PH due to Lee's struggles at first and through April 15 had success with 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 2 RBIs.
