Brent Wayne Headrick (born December 17, 1997) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Minnesota Twins of Major League Baseball (MLB). He made his MLB debut in 2023.
Career
Headrick attended Reed-Custer High School in Braidwood, Illinois, and Illinois State University, where he played college baseball for the Illinois State Redbirds.
The Minnesota Twins selected Headrick in the ninth round, with the 269th overall selection, of the 2019 Major League Baseball draft.[1] He made his professional debut with the rookie–level Elizabethton Twins, making three scoreless appearances in his inaugural campaign.
Headrick did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] In 2021, he spent the majority of the year with the Single–A Fort Myers Mighty Mussels, also making a single start for the rookie–level Florida Complex League Twins. In 15 games (14 starts) for Fort Myers, Headrick logged a 3.82 ERA with 86 strikeouts in 61+1⁄3 innings pitched.[3] In 2022, Headrick made 25 appearances (23 starts) split between the High–A Cedar Rapids Kernels and the Double–A Wichita Wind Surge. In 108+1⁄3 innings of work, he posted a 10–5 record and 3.32 ERA with 136 strikeouts.[4]
On November 15, 2022, the Twins added Headrick to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.[5] Headrick was optioned to the Triple-A St. Paul Saints to begin the 2023 season.[6] On April 16, 2023, Headrick was recalled and promoted to the major leagues for the first time.[7] He made his MLB debut on April 19, earning the save.[8] In 14 games for Minnesota, Headrick posted a 6.31 ERA with 30 strikeouts across 25+2⁄3 innings pitched.
Headrick was again optioned to Triple–A St. Paul to begin the 2024 season.[9]
