Gordon Cecil Pladson (born July 31, 1956) is a former Major League Baseball pitcher for the Houston Astros. He played parts of four seasons for the Astros, from 1979 until 1982.[1]

Pladson grew up in Delta, British Columbia, Canada but did not play hockey in his youth. After baseball, his second sport was basketball which he played at Douglas College after signing a professional baseball contract with the Astros at 16 years old while a grade 11 student at North Delta Secondary School.[2] Seven years after signing with the Astros, he made his Major League debut against the San Francisco Giants on September 7, 1979, striking out one batter in an inning of relief.[3]
