Matthew Shane Ginter (born December 24, 1977) is an American former professional baseball pitcher.
After playing in college at Mississippi State, he made his Major League Baseball debut in 2000 with the Chicago White Sox. He was signed by the Boston Red Sox to a minor league contract, and started in 2006 pitching for the Pawtucket Red Sox. He had a strong start to the season, notably pitching eight innings of two-hit shutout baseball on April 23, and lowering his season ERA to 2.35 and his K/BB rate to 7. He was a strong candidate to be called up to the Red Sox to join the starting rotation, temporarily, while David Wells recovered from a knee injury.[citation needed]
Ginter exercised an out clause in his contract after going 3–9 in Pawtucket and not being called up before July 1. Ginter started 2007 with the Memphis Redbirds, the Triple-A affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals, but after becoming a free agent, signed in late August with the Milwaukee Brewers, and was assigned to their Triple-A affiliate, the Nashville Sounds. He became a free agent after the season.
