Collin McHugh
Collin Alexander McHugh (born June 19, 1987) is an American former professional baseball pitcher. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the New York Mets, Colorado Rockies, Houston Astros, Tampa Bay Rays and Atlanta Braves. Listed at 6 feet 2 inches (1.88 m) and 191 pounds (87 kg), he throws and bats right-handed.
Born in Naperville, Illinois, McHugh graduated from Providence Christian Academy in Lilburn, Georgia, and attended Berry College. In 2007, he played collegiate summer baseball in the Cape Cod Baseball League for the Chatham A's and the Wareham Gatemen. He was drafted by the New York Mets in the 18th round of the 2008 Major League Baseball draft.
McHugh was called up to the major leagues on August 22, 2012, and he made his MLB debut on August 23 against the Colorado Rockies at Citi Field. He pitched seven scoreless innings and got nine strikeouts while surrendering two hits and a walk. Despite his performance, McHugh did not get the win as the Mets lost, 1–0. McHugh made two more starts before being demoted on August 24 to make room on the roster for Jeremy Hefner. Overall with the 2012 Mets, he appeared in eight games (four starts) compiling an 0–4 record with a 7.59 ERA. During 2013, McHugh made three appearances (one start) with the Mets; he had a 10.29 ERA and an 0–1 record.
The Mets traded McHugh to the Colorado Rockies for outfielder Eric Young Jr. on June 18, 2013. McHugh appeared in four games (all starts) for the 2013 Rockies, registering an 0–3 record with 9.95 ERA. He was designated for assignment on December 16, 2013.
On December 18, 2013, McHugh was claimed off waivers by the Houston Astros. In 2014, he finished with 11 wins and led the team in ERA, with a 2.73 mark.
In 2015, McHugh set a number of career highs, including a second-place finish in the American League (AL) in wins with 19, behind teammate Dallas Keuchel's 20. Hence, McHugh and Keuchel became the first Astros teammate duo to reach at least 19 wins each since Mike Hampton (22–4) and José Lima (21–10) did so in 1999. He was seventh in the AL in games started (32) and batters faced (859), while his 31 assists ranked second at his position. He also posted 203+1⁄3 innings, 3.89 ERA and 171 strikeouts. The Astros made the postseason, and McHugh started and won Game 1 of the American League Division Series (ALDS) versus the Kansas City Royals.
In 2016, McHugh reached more career-highs with 33 starts and 177 strikeouts, finishing 13–10 W–L with an ERA of 4.34 in 184+2⁄3 innings.
McHugh began the 2017 season on the 10-day disabled list (DL) due to tendonitis in his right shoulder. On April 6, 2017, he left a game while on rehab assignment with the Triple-A Fresno Grizzlies after feeling tightness in his elbow and biceps. With posterior impingement in his right elbow, McHugh was ruled out for an extended period of time. He was limited to just 12 starts. He appeared in two games of the postseason, pitching a combined total of six innings, allowing a total of one hit and three runs. The Astros won the 2017 World Series. Three years later, the Houston Astros sign stealing scandal broke, in which it was revealed that the Astros had cheated during their championship season. McHugh said that he knew about the sign stealing scheme and expressed remorse for going along with it.
