Michael Raymond Palagyi (July 4, 1917 – November 21, 2013) was an American Major League Baseball pitcher who pitched for the Washington Senators.

Mike's sisters included Anna Yusko, Ethel Vento, and Helen who died at birth and twin to brother Andrew.

[2] Standing 6 feet 2 inches (1.88 m) and weighing 185 pounds (84 kg), Palagyi made his major league pitching debut August 18, 1939 for the Washington Senators as a relief pitcher in a game against the Boston Red Sox.

[3] Coming in to the game to start the top of the ninth, with the Red Sox ahead 3-1, he began by walking Doc Cramer.

In an interview for Richard Tellis' book, Once Around the Bases, Palagyi said that he "threw but 2 strikes out of 15 pitches — a very short big league career".
