Kyle Kent Dohy (born September 17, 1996) is an American professional baseball pitcher who is a free agent. He previously played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Philadelphia Phillies. He made his MLB debut in 2021.

Amateur career[edit]

Dohy attended Charter Oak High School in Covina, California and graduated in 2014.[1] After graduating, he enrolled at California State University, Northridge, where he played college baseball. However, as a freshman in 2015, he appeared in only four games, and he transferred to Citrus College after the season. In 2016, as a sophomore at Citrus, he started five games, going 1–2 with a 3.98 ERA and striking out 32 in 20+13 innings.[2][3] Following the season, he transferred to California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. In 79+23 innings, he went 6–3 with a 5.99 ERA, striking out 89 (third in the California Collegiate Athletic Association) while walking sixty (leading the Association) with 17 wild pitches (second).[4][5][6] After the season, he was selected by the Philadelphia Phillies in the 16th round of the 2017 Major League Baseball draft.[7][8]

Professional career[edit]

Dohy signed with the Phillies and made his professional debut with the Williamsport Crosscutters, going 2–1 with a 3.60 ERA, 22 strikeouts, and twenty walks over twenty innings. In 2018, he began the year with the Lakewood BlueClaws, with whom he was named a South Atlantic League All-Star, and was promoted to the Clearwater Threshers and Reading Fightin Phils during the season.[9][10][11][12][13] In 67+13 relief innings pitched between the three clubs, Dohy went 7–9 with a 2.54 ERA, 42 walks, and 111 strikeouts.[14] Dohy returned to Reading to begin the 2019 season before being promoted to the Lehigh Valley IronPigs in April, with whom he finished the season.[15][16][17] Over 47 relief appearances between the two clubs, Dohy pitched to a 7–5 record with a 5.32 ERA, striking out 105 and walking 59 over 67+23 innings.[18] His 17 wild pitches while with Lehigh Valley tied for the International League lead, and he had the worst walks/9 innings ratio at 8.6, but also had the third-best strikeouts/9 innings ratio at 13.2.[19]

The Phillies added Dohy to their 40-man roster after the 2020 season.[20] He did not play a minor league game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.[21] On April 1, 2021, Dohy was designated for assignment by the Phillies and outrighted off the roster.[22] To begin the 2021 season, he was assigned to Lehigh Valley, but was demoted to Reading after compiling a 10.38 ERA over 4+13 innings. On July 3, he pitched a combined no-hitter against the Erie SeaWolves along with Francisco Morales, Zach Warren, and Brian Marconi.[23] He was promoted back to Lehigh Valley in September.[24] Over 42+23 innings pitched between Reading and Lehigh Valley, Dohy went 4–0 with a 2.95 ERA, 65 strikeouts, and 28 walks.[25]

On September 25, 2021, the Phillies selected Dohy's contract and promoted him to the major leagues.[26] He made his MLB debut on October 2 versus the Miami Marlins at LoanDepot Park, throwing one scoreless inning of relief in which he gave up one hit and one walk while also striking out one batter.[27]

On November 30, Dohy was non-tendered by the Phillies, making him a free agent.[28] However, Dohy re-signed with the Phillies on a minor league contract the same day.[29] On June 22, 2022, the Phillies released Dohy.[30]
