Daniel Donovan Naulty (born January 6 1970, in Los Angeles) is an American former Major League Baseball pitcher who is currently a pastor. He is the only player mentioned in the Mitchell Report to openly admit to using performance-enhancing drugs in the report.

He was a part of the Twins from Spring Training 1996 and made his debut in the major leagues with the Detroit Tigers in the second game of the season. He was 3-2, with an 3.79 ERA, and earned four saves in the 49 games of in his first season, but was shut down at the end of the season because of an injury to his left arm. The role of the pitcher waned when he was forced to spend the next two seasons on the disabled list as well as performing rehab stints in minor leagues. The years 1997-98, Naulty was three-for-three with an 5.53 ERA and one save at the major league level. He broke his right groin off his pelvis during the final match in his time as a Twin on the 11th of July 1998. After the season it was announced that he would be traded with the New York Yankees for minor league prospect Allen Butler.

Shortly afterwards, a female teacher also began abusing Naulty.

Just a few days after when the Mitchell Report came out, Naulty wrote an article for the New York Daily News detailing his use of drugs. He claimed he had access to however, he did not take steroids as early to high school. After being selected, the player realized that to compete, he would need to throw harder and also add muscle to his 6-foot-6″ frame. So, he started taking amphetamines and anabolic steroids in the early stages, and soon increased his weight from 185 to 240 pounds and added ten miles per hour to his speedball. The 1998 groin strain is attributed to the fact that he had added more muscles to the major tendon in his groin than it’s capable of handling.
