[edit] Biographical Information

Mike Hessman was the International League MVP in 2007, hitting over 30 homers and driving in over 95. He was the league's All-Star third baseman. Tremendous power with a tendency to strike out way too much.

Hessman struggled in the 2008 Olympics, going 2 for 22 as the worst hitter for Team USA, which won Bronze. He split time with Matthew Brown at third base. Both of his hits came in a one-run loss to eventual Gold Medal winner South Korea; one was a solo homer off closer Ki-joo Han.
