Jared Marcus Poché (born November 21, 1994) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Oakland Athletics organization.

Career

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]

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.[6] He decided to return to LSU for his senior season, turning down a $150,000 signing bonus.[7][8] As a senior, he threw a no-hitter, the first for LSU since 1979,[9] and set the LSU career record for wins.[10]

The Oakland Athletics selected Poché in the ninth round of the 2017 MLB draft.[11] He signed with the Athletics, and made his professional debut for the Vermont Lake Monsters of the Class A-Short Season New York-Penn League.[12] However, he only played in one game, pitching two innings, before he was placed on the 60 day disabled list, ending his season.[13]

Personal life

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]
