Jared Marcus Poché (born November 21, 1994) is an American former professional baseball pitcher.
Career[edit]
Poché attended Lutcher High School in Lutcher, Louisiana.[1] Lutcher won the Class 4A state championship in 2013.[2] He enrolled at Louisiana State University (LSU) to play college baseball for the LSU Tigers. He had a 9–3 win–loss record and 2.45 earned run average (ERA) as a freshman for the Tigers.[3] The National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association and Collegiate Baseball named him a Freshman All-American in 2014.[4][5] After the 2014 season, he played collegiate summer baseball with the Harwich Mariners of the Cape Cod Baseball League.[6]
Poché finished his junior year with a 9–4 record and a 3.35 ERA. The San Diego Padres selected Poché in the 14th round of the 2016 MLB draft.[7] He decided to return to LSU for his senior season, turning down a $150,000 signing bonus.[8][9] As a senior, he threw a no-hitter, the first for LSU since 1979,[10] and set the LSU career record for wins.[11]
The Oakland Athletics selected Poché in the ninth round of the 2017 MLB draft.[12] He signed with the Athletics, and made his professional debut for the Vermont Lake Monsters.[13] However, he only played in one game, pitching two innings, before he was placed on the 60 day disabled list, ending his season.[14] In 2018, he made his season debut with Vermont before being promoted to the Beloit Snappers, where he finished the year. In 25 games (22 starts) for Beloit he pitched to an 8-6 record with a 4.41 ERA.[15]
Poché began 2019 with the Stockton Ports.[16] He decided to retire from baseball in July 2019.[17]
Personal life[edit]
Poché's parents, Jerry and Tessa, are lifelong residents of Lutcher. His older brother, Corey, played college baseball for Nicholls State University, and taught Jared how to throw a changeup.[1]
