Michael Joseph Bacsik (/ˈbæsɪk/; born November 11, 1977) is an American former Major League Baseball (MLB) pitcher, current radio host, and television analyst.

He is known for giving up Barry Bonds' 756th career home run on August 7, 2007, which broke the all-time record formerly held by Hank Aaron.

Two months later, on December 23, 2003, Bacsik signed a contract with the Texas Rangers (incidentally, the team where his father was a member when he was born).

He had an impressive minor league season with the Diamondbacks' Triple-A team, the Tucson Sidewinders, in which he went a perfect 11–0 with a 2.79 ERA in 28 games (10 starts).

Bacsik became a free agent after the 2006 season and later signed another minor league contract with the Washington Nationals on November 6, 2006.

In his following start, he pitched 7.2 innings, his longest outing of the year including the minors, allowing three runs and earning his first win in the majors since August 4, 2004.

On August 23, 1976, Michael James Bacsik held Aaron to a single and a fly out to right field.

"[6] On October 26, 2007, the Washington Nationals signed Bacsik to a non-guaranteed minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

[7] After spring training, on March 5, 2008, the Nationals reassigned Bacsik to minor league camp,[8] and he was assigned to Triple-A Columbus.

A former intern at Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) radio station KTCK ("Sportsradio 1310 The Ticket") for the BaD Radio Show prior to beginning his MLB career, Bacsik later served as the show producer on "The Ticket" for midday host Norm Hitzges and performed other fill-in on-air host duties.

He currently serves as co-host on the K&C Masterpiece show on DFW radio station KRLD (105.3 The Fan).

After spending time as a studio analyst for Texas Rangers games on Bally Sports Southwest, Bacsik replaced C.J.
