Jason Glenn Roach (born April 20, 1976) is a former Major League Baseball starting pitcher. He batted and threw right-handed.
Roach graduated from North Lenoir High School before attending UNC Wilmington. He was drafted by the New York Mets in the 20th round of the 1997 Major League Baseball draft. He was primarily a third baseman until spring training in 2000, at which point the Mets converted him to pitching, believing it would give him a quicker route to the majors.[1] He played in 2003 with the Mets, wearing #57. He had a 0-2 record in 2 games, with a 12.00 ERA.
Singles in his only two at-bats left Roach with a rare MLB career batting average of 1.000.
