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