Timeline

1972

Paul Anthony Lo Duca (born April 12, 1972) is an American former professional baseball player and television personality.

1993

In 1993 (the one year he played at ASU), Lo Duca was named The Sporting News Player of the Year, setting school records with a .446 batting average and 129 hits.

He also was named a finalist for the Golden Spikes Award, and his 37-game hitting streak is the second longest in school history.

He was named ASU "On Deck Circle" Most Valuable Player; other winners include Dustin Pedroia, Willie Bloomquist, Ike Davis, and Barry Bonds.

Despite his college success, Lo Duca spent many years in the minor leagues after being drafted in the 25th round of the 1993 Major League Baseball Draft.

1995

After spending 1995 with the Vero Beach Dodgers, Lo Duca was sent to the Australian Baseball League to play with the Dodgers Australian affiliate the Adelaide Giants during the 1995–96 off-season to help with his development.

2001

He finally achieved a breakthrough year with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2001 at age 29, recording career highs of 25 home runs, 90 RBIs and a .320 batting average.

Lo Duca drew comparisons to Dodgers predecessors Mike Scioscia and Mike Piazza; all three were capable and popular everyday catchers who were homegrown through the Dodgers' organization, and all three are of Italian-American ancestry.

Lo Duca's primary strength was as a contact hitter, like Scioscia, but unlike the power-hitting Piazza.

After becoming an everyday big league player, Lo Duca was named to four All-Star Games.

Lo Duca hit .318, his highest average since 2001.

He also had a .355 on-base percentage, a career high.

2002

In 2002, he was one of the best contact hitters in the majors — only Jason Kendall struck out less often, and no one had a better percentage of swings and misses.

2003

In 2003, Lo Duca's 25-game hitting streak was the second longest in Dodgers history, and defensively, he ranked first in the National League in throwing out baserunners.

2004

He played in Major League Baseball as a catcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers (–), Florida Marlins (2004–, ), New York Mets (–), and Washington Nationals (2008).

He later became a horse racing analyst for the TVG Network and New York Racing Association.

In 2004, he led National League catchers in RBIs.

In the field in 2004, he allowed 93 stolen bases, more than any other catcher in Major League Baseball.

Lo Duca was traded from Los Angeles along with Juan Encarnación and Guillermo Mota to the Marlins for Hee-seop Choi, Brad Penny, and minor league pitching prospect Bill Murphy at the 2004 trading deadline.

Later, Lo Duca was traded to the Mets for two minor league prospects: pitcher Gaby Hernandez and outfielder Dante Brinkley.

2005

This was part of a Marlin "market correction" where most of their high-paid players were traded away after the 2005 season.

2006

Lo Duca was a member of the 2006 All-Star Team, and the Mets finished that year with a 97-65 record and made the postseason (his first playoff experience).

2007

Lo Duca collected his 1,000th career hit on May 30, 2007, off Barry Zito.

His batting average fell 48 points that year to .272, and he played only 119 games after making a trip to the disabled list in August.

After the 2007 season, Lo Duca agreed to a $5 million, one-year deal with the Washington Nationals on December 10.

2008

He was released by the Nationals on July 31, 2008, after batting .230/.301/.281.

On August 8, 2008, Lo Duca signed a minor league deal to return to the Florida Marlins organization.

LoDuca was called up on August 16.

Lo Duca became a free agent after the 2008 season and did not play in 2009.

2009

In June 2009, he joined TVG Network as an analyst and began working on 2009 Belmont Stakes day.

2010

On January 19, 2010, Lo Duca signed with the Colorado Rockies and came out of retirement.

He only appeared in the minor leagues with the Colorado Springs Sky Sox during his stint in the Rockies organization, batting .233/.292/.302.

On May 29, 2010, Lo Duca was released, and in June, he returned to work for TVG.

He continues to work as a horse racing analyst for the network.

2019

In November 2019, he agreed to a contract to work for Barstool Sports as a horse racing and gambling analyst.

Lo Duca walked on to the baseball team at Glendale Community College in Arizona after he was not recruited or drafted out of high school.

He hit .449 and .461 in his two years at the community college before transferring to Arizona State University.

On October 22, 2019, MLB umpire Joe West filed a defamation lawsuit in New York against Lo Duca and Action Network over comments Lo Duca made on a podcast in April 2019, recalling his Mets teammate Billy Wagner telling him, "Joe loves antique cars so every time he comes into town I lend him my ’57 Chevy so he can drive it around so then he opens up the strike zone for me."

In the complaint, West denied this and said he suffered unspecified damages as a result of Lo Duca's comments.

Analysis of MLB records indicated that West was the home plate umpire for a single Mets game during the two seasons that Lo Duca and Wagner were teammates in New York, but Wagner did not pitch in that particular game.
