Kevin John Cameron (born December 15, 1979, in Joliet, Illinois) is a Major League Baseball pitcher for the Oakland Athletics.
Cameron is a graduate of Joliet Catholic High School. Cameron played for the Georgia Tech baseball team.
He was acquired by the San Diego Padres from the Minnesota Twins as a Rule 5 Draft choice. Cameron made his major league debut on April 5, 2007. His first season was exceptional serving as a middle reliever; he logged 58 innings over 48 appearances with a 2.79 ERA. However, his 36 walks over 58 innings led to some concern for the Padres coaching staff.
