  Pat Hentgen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Patrick George "Pat" Hentgen (born November 13, 1968 in Detroit, Michigan) was a right-handed starting pitcher in the Major Leagues and a former Cy Young Award winner.
Hentgen was offered a baseball scholarship to Western Michigan University, but signed with the Toronto Blue Jays instead after being drafted in the 5th round of the 1986 free-agent draft.
Hentgen was noted for his success in challenging hitters directly, mostly throwing his fastball for strikes to get ahead early in the count.

 Pat Hentgen
It was an unexpected development because Hentgen had only been on the disabled list twice, missing only a handful of starts each time, in his eight seasons prior to signing with the Orioles.
Hentgen's success was largely because of his 8.4H/9IP mark (the first time he'd allowed fewer than a hit an inning in a 100+ inning season since 1997); he surrendered 1.4 HR/9IP and 3.25 BB/9IP, both less than optimum marks and long-time Hentgen bugaboos.
Hentgen is 35 years old now; his stuff isn't what it was back in the 1996-97 glory years with the Jays, but he is still regarded as a heady, gutty pitcher and was occasionally described as a "second pitching coach" with the Orioles because of his willingness to assist young pitchers.
