Casey John Kotchman (born February 22, 1983 in St. Petersburg, Florida) is a Major League Baseball first baseman for the Seattle Mariners. He was on the 2001 national champion team of Seminole High School in Seminole, Florida. The Anaheim Angels selected Kotchman with the thirteenth overall pick in the 2001 Major League Baseball Draft. In 2006, the Angels moved 2005 starter Darin Erstad back to center field, announcing that Kotchman would likely open the season at first base. After struggling in his at-bats early in 2006 because of mononucleosis, Kotchman was placed on the disabled list in early May.
