As coach Michael George Paul (born April 18, 1945) is an American former left-handed Major League Baseball pitcher who played from 1968 to 1974 for the Cleveland Indians, Texas Rangers and Chicago Cubs.

Paul again pitched for Reno in 1968, going 2–1 with a 1.09 earned run average and 49 strikeouts in four games (33 innings).

He performed well in his first appearances, going 22⁄3 innings, striking out four (including the first batter he faced, Frank Kostro), allowing only one hit and earning the save.

His performance was so unimpressive in fact that he spent 10 games in the minors with the Wichita Aeros, with whom he went 6–1 with a 2.15 earned run average in 71 innings of work.

Paul was traded with Roy Foster, Rich Hand and Ken Suarez from the Indians to the Rangers for Del Unser, Denny Riddleberger, Terry Ley and Gary Jones at the Winter Meetings on December 2, 1971.

[2][3] In his major league career, Paul went 27–48 with a 3.91 earned run average in 228 appearances (77 starts).
