Bryan Alois Oelkers (born March 11, 1961) is a Spanish former Major League Baseball pitcher. He attended Pattonville High School in Maryland Heights, Missouri and college at Wichita State. He batted and threw left-handed. He was drafted in the first round (4th pick overall) by the Minnesota Twins, one spot ahead of Dwight Gooden. Oelkers played two years in the majors — 1983 with the Minnesota Twins and 1986 with the Cleveland Indians. In 45 career games, he had a 3–8 record. In 103.1 innings, he allowed 126 hits with an ERA of 6.01. On August 16, 1986, Oelkers notched his only major league save in a 2–1 victory over the Orioles. He went 1⁄3 of an inning, retiring Jim Traber to preserve the victory. Oelkers preserved the win for Hall of Famer Phil Niekro.[1]
He is the second of four Major Leaguers from Spain in history, along with Al Cabrera, Al Pardo, and Danny Rios.
