Matt Whiteside was born on Tuesday, August 8, 1967, in Charleston, Missouri. Whiteside was 24 years old when he broke into the big leagues on August 5, 1992, with the Texas Rangers. His biographical data, year-by-year hitting stats, fielding stats, pitching stats (where applicable), career totals, uniform numbers, salary data and miscellaneous items-of-interest are presented by Baseball Almanac on this comprehensive Matt Whiteside baseball stats page.
"He'll (Matt Whiteside) be Texas' closer whenever Tom Henke turns into the next Jeff Reardon (You know, the great closer who suddenly becomes inconsistent bordering on scary). It took him only 45 Double-A and Triple-A innings to get 29 saves...and 43 strikeouts." - Columnist Paul White in USA Today Baseball Weekly ("These rookies ready to go", 03/24-30/1993)
