I decided to dust off an old relic of the blog. I haven't done one of these in a while. Canadians in the Majors.
As before, this is a series that looks at a Canadian born player that I have in my collection.
Today's look is at Peter Hoy.
Peter Hoy was born June 29, 1956 in Brockville, Ontario. He went to school at LeMoyne College and played in the Cape Cod League for the Chatham A's. He was drafted in 1988 by the Red Sox in the 33rd round. He briefly made the Majors in 1992 with the Boston Red Sox.
His entire career was spent in the Red Sox organization, starting in Elmira, and having stops in Winter Haven, New Britain, Fort Lauderdale, and Pawtucket. He spent a brief time in the Majors with Boston. He got into 5 games as a Major Leaguer.
In those five games, he was treated rather rudely by opposing batters:
3.2IP 8H 3R 3ER 2BB 2SO WHIP 2.727 7.36 ERA
After finishing the 1993 season between New Britain and Fort Lauderdale, he retired at the age of 27.
He went back to school after his playing days, completing his Bachelor's degree in 1998.
He was the LeMoyne College team's pitching coach from 1997-2009.
Judging from what I've been reading, he's currently the head coach at St Lawrence University in Canton, NY and has been there since 2010.
Great to read! Always cool to see when some of these guys are able to stick in the game.
ReplyDeleteYup, he coaches about an hour away from me.
