John Truman Wasdin is an American former professional baseball pitcher who played in Major League Baseball and Nippon Professional Baseball. He was born in Fort Belvoir, Virginia and raised in Tallahassee, Florida. Wasdin graduated from Godby High in his hometown of Tallahassee and attended Florida State University. He was drafted by the New York Yankees in 1990, but did not sign. He was eventually drafted by the Oakland Athletics in 1993, the 25th pick overall in that year's draft. On April 7, 2003, Wasdin pitched a perfect game for the Triple-A Nashville Sounds against the Albuquerque Isotopes at Herschel Greer Stadium in Nashville. Fewer than 750 fans witnessed the perfect game, as it was the same night as the 2003 NCAA Men's Basketball National Championship Game, plus unseasonably cold weather dissuaded some from coming to the ballpark. On August 1, 2006, Wasdin was designated for assignment by the Texas Rangers, and was placed on unconditional waivers for the purpose of granting him his release on August 3. Wasdin was signed to a minor league contract by the Pittsburgh Pirates during the winter meetings in 2006 and made the team during the last week of spring training in 2007.
