Dan Patrick Masteller was born on March 17, 1968 in Toldeo, Ohio.

The Minnesota Twins selected him in round 11 of the 1989 MLB Draft. His only stint in the Majors was 71 games of action for the Twins in 1995. Masteller hit .237/.303/.343 with three home runs and 21 RBI. He spent time at first base and corner outfield.

Two of his three big league homers provided the last place Twins with some of their most dramatic and memorable moments of the 1995 campaign. The first came on July 28th against former Cy Young winner Jack McDowell in walk-off fashion, helping Minnesota topple the New York Yankees. He also hit a game tying home run in the ninth inning against Hall of Fame closer Lee Smith on September 10th. The Twins wound up winning that game in extra innings, with the winning run coming around to score on an error.

Minnesota released Masteller after the season. He played one year in the Montreal Expos minor league system, and then retired.
