[edit] Introduction and minor leagues

Kennie Steenstra was in the major leagues one year, and had an eleven year minor league career, going 90-78 in the minors.

Steenstra was used almost entirely as a starter in his pre-Major League debut career. In fact, he was used as a reliever only 4 times. He saw quite a bit of success in the minors, with a string of three very successful seasons between 1992 and 1994. In 1992 with the Geneva Cubs and Peoria Chiefs, he went a combined 9-3 with a 1.89 ERA. In 1993, he went 14-6 and in 1994 he went 9-7 with a 2.61 ERA for the Orlando Cubs.

[edit] Major Leagues

On May 21, 1998 at the age of 27, Steenstra made his Major League debut. In one inning against the Los Angeles Dodgers, he gave up one hit, one walk, struck out one and surrendered zero runs. The rest of his career would not fair him so well, though. Overall, he finished with a 10.80 ERA in 3 1/3 innings, striking out four but giving up two home runs (the first to Javy Lopez and the second to Magglio Ordonez).

[edit] After the Majors

After his brief stint in the Majors, Steenstra bounced around in the minors until 2002 in the Atlanta Braves, Seattle Mariners, Arizona Diamondbacks, St. Louis Cardinals, Baltimore Orioles and Florida Marlins organizations.

After his playing days, he became the pitching coach for the Lincoln Saltdogs in 2004 and the Delmarva Shorebirds in 2005-2007.

At last check, he resides in Liberty, MO.
