Timeline

1983

Luke Anthony Hochevar (born September 15, 1983) is an American former professional baseball pitcher.

2002

Hochevar was selected by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 39th round (1,191st overall) of the 2002 MLB amateur entry draft but chose to attend college at the University of Tennessee instead.

Hochevar was used primarily as a relief pitcher during his freshman year for the Volunteers, striking out 73 batters and walking 24 in 77 innings of work.

2003

After the 2003 season, he played collegiate summer baseball with the Cotuit Kettleers of the Cape Cod Baseball League.

His sophomore season was injury plagued for Hochevar; he missed a total of eight weeks playing time.

However, he was good enough to be selected for the USA Baseball National Team, earning the victory in the FISU II World University Baseball Championship against Japan.

Hochevar bounced back as a junior, striking out a school record 154 batters, posting a 15–3 record, and 2.26 ERA for the season.

For his efforts he was named the Southeastern Conference Pitcher of the Year and won the Roger Clemens Award.

2005

The Dodgers selected Hochevar again, this time in the first round (40th overall) of the 2005 draft.

After initial negotiations between the Dodgers and Hochevar and his agent Scott Boras, Hochevar switched agents to Matt Sosnick and accepted a $2.98 million signing bonus from scouting director Logan White.

However, the next day Hochevar changed his mind on switching agents, returning to Boras and reneging on the deal.

Several months of lukewarm talks continued, but amidst much bitterness, the two sides never came close to reaching a new agreement.

Hochevar signed with the Fort Worth Cats of the American Association of Professional Baseball, an independent baseball league.

He had a 1–1 win–loss record and a 2.38 earned run average (ERA) in four games started with Fort Worth.

2006

He was the first overall pick in the 2006 MLB draft and a member of the 2015 World Series champions.

Luke Hochevar was born in Denver, Colorado, raised in Wiley, Colorado, and later moved to Fowler, Colorado, with parents Brian and Carmen Hochevar along with one brother and one sister.

His father was a college basketball player at the University of Southern Colorado (now CSU-Pueblo) who had an unsuccessful tryout with the Denver Nuggets and who later turned to coaching, including serving as Luke's baseball coach at Fowler High School.

While at Fowler High, Hochevar was named Colorado Division 2A Player of the Year his senior year and was a three-time all-state selection.

He was a multi-sport athlete, earning all-state honors in basketball.

Hochevar excelled in the classroom as well, and was named an academic all-state four consecutive years.

Hochevar entered the draft yet again in 2006 and was selected first overall by the Kansas City Royals.

On August 3, nearly two months after the draft, Hochevar signed a four-year major league contract worth $5.25 million guaranteed with the Royals.

He received a $3.5 million signing bonus with the ability to earn as much as $7 million over the four years.

After he signed, the Royals assigned Hochevar to the Burlington Bees of the Class A Midwest League.
