David Owen Fletcher (born May 31, 1994) is an American former professional baseball infielder. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Los Angeles Angels and Atlanta Braves from 2018 to 2024. Fletcher was born in Orange, California, and attended Cypress High School in Cypress, California. After four varsity seasons with Cypress, Fletcher played two seasons of college baseball for Loyola Marymount University. He was drafted by the Angels in the sixth round of the 2015 MLB draft. He made his MLB debut in 2018 and served as a utility player for his first three seasons before becoming a more permanent middle infielder in 2021. Considered a contact hitter, Fletcher frequently served as the leadoff batter in front of Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani with the Angels. He was known for his soft-contact bloop hits and frequent contact, resulting in a low amount of walks and strikeouts. His 26-game hitting streak in 2021 was the longest in MLB that year and the second-longest in Angels history, behind Garret Anderson's 28.
