Dallas Keuchel

Dallas Keuchel was born on January 1, 1988 in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

The Houston Astros selected him in round seven of the 2009 MLB Draft. He struggled in the early stages of his Major League career, posting a 5.20 ERA over 39 starts and nine relief appearances between the 2012 and 2013 seasons. Keuchel then blossomed into one of baseball's best left handed starters, owning a 3.28 ERA between 2014 and 2018. He won the 2015 AL Cy Young Award.

Keuchel pitched for the Atlanta Braves in 2019. The Chicago White Sox signed him to a three year, $55 million contract ahead of the 2020 campaign. He finished fifth place in AL Cy Young voting during his first year in Chicago, but things took a turn for the worse after that. Keuchel had a 5.28 ERA in 2021, and was left off the White Sox playoff roster. They designated him for assignment just two months into the 2022 season.

He finished out 2022 by having unsuccessful stints with the Arizona Diamondbacks and Texas Rangers. The Minnesota Twins signed him to a minor league deal in 2023. Keuchel had a 1.13 ERA for the St. Paul Saints (AAA), and was called up on August 6th to replace an injured Joe Ryan.

His first start with the Twins was strong. Keuchel went five innings and only allowed one run against the eventual National League champion Diamondbacks. He tossed five shutout innings against the eventual World Series champion Texas Rangers later that month. Minnesota won both of those games. Keuchel also brought a no-hitter into the seventh inning against the Pittsburgh Pirates on August 20th.

There were also some rough outings too. Keuchel allowed six runs in a 1.2 inning start against the Philadelphia Phillies. He also had poor performances against the Tampa Bay Rays, Cincinnati Reds and Colorado Rockies. His two month stint with Minnesota featured a 5.97 ERA, going 2-1 in eight appearances. The Twins did not include Keuchel on their playoff roster, and he became a free agent after the season.

The Seattle Mariners signed Keuchel to a minor league deal. He was traded to the Milwaukee Brewers for cash on June 25th, and called up to their big league roster. The veteran lefty had a 5.40 ERA over four starts with the Brewers, and was designated for assignment.

As of Opening Day in 2025, Keuchel is currently a free agent.
