Josh Hader Career

Hader was chosen by the Baltimore Orioles with the 582nd overall pick in the 19th round of the 2012 Major League Baseball draft. Rather than go to Anne Arundel, he signed a $40,000 signing bonus with the Orioles.

Hader’s fastball velocity rose as he transitioned to a professional exercise regimen, going from 84–88 miles per hour (135–142 km/h) as a high school player to 94–95 miles per hour (151–153 km/h).

Hader pitched for the Low-A New York-Penn League’s Aberdeen Ironbirds and the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League’s Gulf Coast Orioles, where he struck out 48 batters in 28+2⁄3 innings while giving up just 14 hits and nine walks.

Hader was assigned by the Orioles to the Single-A Delmarva Shorebirds of the South Atlantic League (SAL) in 2013. In addition to playing in the SAL All-Star Game, he pitched to a 3–6 record through July 31 in 17 games started, with 79 strikeouts and a 2.65 ERA.

The Orioles sent Bud Norris to the Houston Astros in exchange for Hader and L. J. Hoes on July 31, 2013, the day of the MLB trade deadline. With the Single-A Midwest League’s Quad Cities River Bandits, he wrapped up his 2013 campaign.

On May 13, 2014, Hader, who was a pitcher for the Lancaster JetHawks of the High-A California League, combined with two relief pitchers to pitch a no-hitter.

In August, after he pitched to a 9-2 record in 103+1⁄3 innings with a league-leading 2.70 ERA and 112 strikeouts, the Astros promoted him to the Double-A Texas League’s Corpus Christi Hooks.

The California League Pitcher of the Year award went to him. Hader made a season-long return to Corpus Christi in 2015. He was chosen to compete in the 2015 Pan American Games for the US national baseball team.

Carlos Gómez and Mike Fiers were acquired by the Astros on July 30, 2015, in exchange for Hader, Brett Phillips, Domingo Santana, and Adrian Houser from the Milwaukee Brewers.

Hader was sent to the Double-A Southern League Biloxi Shuckers by the Brewers. His cumulative ERA during the season was 3.03.

2016 saw him accepted to spring training with the Brewers. Hader started the 2016 season with Biloxi and, on June 12, he made his Triple-A Pacific Coast League debut as a starter for the Colorado Springs Sky Sox.

He was chosen to play in the All-Star Futures Game of 2016. After the season, the Brewers added him to their 40-man roster. Hader started with Colorado Springs in the 2017 campaign. On June 9, he was promoted to the major leagues by the Brewers. On June 10, he made his major league debut.

In 2018, Hader started out in the Milwaukee bullpen. On April 30, Hader made history as the first pitcher to notch eight strikeouts in a three-inning or fewer outing.

Hader had a 2.43 ERA, 12 saves, and a 6-1 record in 2018. In 81+1⁄3 innings, he struck out 143 batters. Hader had the lowest batting average (.088) against left-handed batters among MLB pitchers who pitched at least 20 innings.

He became the first non-full-time closer to earn the National League Reliever of the Year Award. After fellow relievers Corey Knebel (tommy John surgery) and Jeremy Jeffress (shoulder strain) sustained injuries, Hader started the 2019 season as the Brewers’ closer.

With 12 straight hitless outings to start the 2020 season, Hader holds the record for the longest such run in major league history. With a 3.79 ERA at the end of the season, Hader led the NL in saves with 13 out of 15 opportunities.

On May 8, 2021, Hader broke the previous record of 236 innings, established by Craig Kimbrel in 2014, by reaching 400 strikeouts faster than any other pitcher in MLB history in 234+2⁄3 innings pitched.

Hader’s pitching deteriorated during the summer, and on August 1st, the Brewers dealt him to the San Diego Padres in exchange for Taylor Rogers, Dinelson Lamet, Esteury Ruiz, and Robert Gasser. Hader had started the 2022 season with 25 saves in 27 appearances and a 1.05 ERA.

Hader avoided salary arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $14.1 million contract with the Padres on January 13, 2023. Hader allowed just one run in 13.0 innings pitched, held opponents to a.093 batting average, and had 10 saves to earn the title of NL Reliever of the Month for April. After the season, he was free to sign with any team.
