Josh Steven Judy (born February 9, 1986) is an American former professional baseball pitcher. He has played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Cleveland Indians.

Amateur career

[edit]

Judy played his high school baseball for University High School in Morgantown, West Virginia, leading them to the West Virginia State Baseball tournament for the first time in over 40 years. He also helped lead Morgantown Post 2 American Legion team to the Mid-Atlantic Regional in his final season with the club.

Judy was discovered as a collegiate prospect while participating in an off-season developmental program with MVP Baseball Academy in Morgantown.[citation needed] While working with pitching coach Joe Testa, Josh attended a workout for several college programs. He eventually signed to play his collegiate baseball at Indiana Tech, where he was coached by former Cincinnati Reds farmhand, Randy Stegall. After a 2007 NAIA All-American season, Josh was selected in the 34th round (1034 pick overall) of the 2007 Major League Baseball Draft.[1]
