Peter Irvine Redfern is a former Major League Baseball pitcher. He had a seven-season career in the majors, from 1976 until 1982, all with the Minnesota Twins.

Redfern was the Twins' first-round pick, and the first pick overall in the secondary phase of the 1976 draft. After pitching in just four games in the minor leagues with the Tacoma Twins, he made his major league debut on May 15 against the California Angels. Although he gave up four runs in five innings, he was the winning pitcher (beating Sid Monge) in a 15-5 Twins victory.

On April 6, 1982, Redfern was the starting pitcher in the first Twins game at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome on Opening Day, facing the Seattle Mariners. He lost the game to Floyd Bannister. That season would be his last with the Twins, as he was released at the end of spring training in 1983. He signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers, but appeared in just six games for their top farm team, the Albuquerque Dukes that season.

In October of 1983, Redfern was almost killed in a diving accident at Newport Beach, California, which left him paralyzed and ended his playing career. He uses a wheelchair to this day. His son, Chad, was a minor league outfielder.



Pete Redfern Video

My father and I went to the Angels Twins Game to record a special first pitch and message. My pops, Pete Redfern, was the first pitcher to start a game in the metrodome. The message he delivered and the first pitch I threw will be broadcast on the Big Screen at the Metrodome later this season. It was a fun trip for dad and I, and one we will never forget. Thanks for watching!!
