Joel Chimelis (born July 27 1967) is a minor league baseball hitting coach for the Syracuse Mets and a former professional infielder for the MLB. Although he was never a part of Major League Baseball, he briefly made the Major League list for the San Francisco Giants in June 1995. He also played a season within the CPBL in 1997, and a season with the Korea Baseball Organization in 1998. Chimelis was in the minor leagues of baseball during 13 consecutive years.

In the wake of a threat of a protests by players following a threat of a player revolt, the Giants sent Chimelis back into the minor leagues two days later the 6th of June, 1995, with no indication of Chimelis having ever played on the field in any major league match. “They told me they would get me a flight out the next morning”, Chimelis stated to in the Daily Press (Virginia) in an article that appeared on the 13th of August the 13th of August, 1996. “But I said, ‘The hell with that. I’ll go right now.’ Why stay when you aren’t happy and you aren’t wanted? It’s hard not to be angry, but there are two ways you can react to that anger. You can cry about it and dig yourself a hole, or you can build from it. All I did was try to support my family. Now I’m just trying to play baseball and do my job.” Chimelis was never called in the Major Leagues and he ended his career in Phoenix. Chimelis was let go by the Giants in the beginning of September 1995.

While major league players were on strike during spring training in 1995, Chimelis agreed to take the field as part of the San Francisco Giants’ replacement team. Once the strike ended, Chimelis headed to the Giants’ Triple-A Phoenix minor league club.

In 1996, Chimelis started the season with the Guerreros de Oaxaca in the Mexican League. On July 26, 1996, he was signed by the Norfolk Tides, the Triple-A minor league club for the New York Mets, and spent the balance of the season there.

Chimelis was assigned into the Southern Oregon A’s rookie league minor-league team situated in Medford, Oregon for the remaining part in the season of 1988.

He was selected on the team of 1988 NCAA Central Region team.

On June 4, 1995, the Giants called up Chimelis to their major league roster to replace the injured infielder Matt Williams, who had broken a bone in his foot. Although several other major league teams had called up former replacement players, the Giants hadn’t done so yet, and its players grumbled about the idea of welcoming a strikebreaker on the team. As a result, Chimelis, who had been hitting .294 at Phoenix, immediately was treated as an outcast by Giants players, who held a players-only meeting at which they excluded Chimelis. “I never associated with a replacement player, and I wasn’t about to now”, Giants first baseman Mark Carreon told the San Francisco Chronicle in an article that appeared on June 6, 1995. “A lot of us for eight months made sacrifices. I’m sure he’s a great guy (Chimelis), but we stood for something.”
