Kevin John Correia was born on August 24, 1980 in San Diego, California.

The San Francisco Giants selected him in round four of the 2002 MLB Draft. Correia made his Major League debut in 2003, becoming the first player from his draft class to do so. He went 14-22 with a 4.59 ERA across six seasons with the Giants, making 46 starts and 124 relief appearances. Correia pitched for the San Diego Padres in 2008 and 2009, then spent 2010 and 2011 with the Pittsburgh Pirates. He was a double digit game winner in each of those four seasons, making the All-Star team in 2010.

The Minnesota Twins signed Correia to a two year, $10 million deal ahead of the 2013 campaign. He got off to a hot start in Minnesota, posting a 2.23 ERA over six April starts in 2013. Correia completed at least seven innings in five of those starts. He finished the season by going 9-13 with a 4.18 ERA in 31 starts.

Correia went 5-13 for the Twins in 2014, recording a 4.94 ERA over 23 starts. He was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers for cash considerations at the deadline. After finishing the year in Los Angeles, he pitched for the Philadelphia Phillies in 2015.
