He defeated the Kansas City Royals in the 2014 World Series with the Giants. Hudson forged himself as one of baseball's most consistent pitchers, but he had never had a season where he suffered more losses than wins during his 17-season career, and before 2014, he had never had a season where he suffered more losses than wins.
Hudson has twice been named an All-Star, one with Atlanta, and once with San Francisco. Hudson was the winningest active Major League pitcher before retiring in 2015, as well as one of four active pitchers with at least 200 victories.
He won a game against every team in the majors on July 26, 2015, becoming the 15th pitcher to do so.
Hudson is one of the twenty-one pitchers in Major League history to win at least 200 games, strike out at least 2,000 batters, and have a winning percentage over.600.
Of those twenty-one, fourteen are in the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
Personal life
Hudson is married to Kim Bruner, a former Auburn professor who met him as a student. The couple have two daughters and one son. They currently reside in Auburn, Alabama. The Hudson Family Foundation, Hudson and his wife are very involved in their children's philanthropy.
Hudson is a Christian. "It's been one of those things, where anyone who has participated in a sport at the professional level has never been denied." Hudson spoke about his faith. And Jesus Christ and my faith have always been a constant for me, but not just that, but also being an example for other players, my teammates, and my relatives from home. You know, it's one of those things where you need to be a beacon of light and not just shine on people."
Both Hudson's grandmother and his St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Josh Hancock, his college teammate at Auburn, died on April 29, 2007. Before his next appearance, he drew his grandmother's initials on the pitcher's mound and wore them on his spikes. On his jacket, he also stitched Hancock's initials (JH) on his shirt. Against the Philadelphia Phillies, he pitched 8 innings, giving up two earned runs. He didn't get a call, but the Braves eventually won, 5–2.
Hudson served as a guest instructor at both the Braves and Giants' spring training camps in 2016. Hudson joined Fox Sports South and Fox Sports Southeast as a part-time broadcaster for select Braves games in 2016. Hudson was back as a spring training instructor for the Giants in 2017. In 2018, he was in the same role for the Braves as well. Hudson was named pitching coach for the Auburn Tigers baseball team in January 2020.
Professional career
Hudson was drafted by the Oakland Athletics twice in the 35th round of the 1994 MLB Draft and again in the 6th round of the 1997 MLB Draft, signing in 1997. On June 8, 1999 against the San Diego Padres, where he allowed three earned runs in a game the Athletics ultimately lost 5–3. On June 13, the Los Angeles Dodgers won his first game in his new career in his first appearance in his new season. In seven innings of the 9–3 victory, he allowed only one run.
Hudson made an 11-two record in his rookie season and finished 5th in the AL Rookie of the Year poll. He and left-handed pitcher Mark Mulder and Barry Zito joined Oakland's so-called "Big Three" team. He won a career-high 20 victories and a 4.14 ERA for Oakland in 2000. He came in second place in AL Cy Young Award voting, behind Pedro Martnez. Hudson's records improved in 2001, 15-9 in 2002, and 16–7 in 2003 with a career low 2.70 ERA. Hudson was unable to pitch 30 games due to injury in 2004. In 27 starts, he went 12–6. Hudson was 92-1939 and had a 3.30 ERA when he was with the A's, a record that was not.
Hudson was traded to the Atlanta Braves in exchange for Charles Thomas, Dan Meyer, and Juan Cruz before the 2005 season. Hudson won his 100th game in his career on August 6, 2005, beating the St. Louis Cardinals 8–1.
Hudson was admitted to Team USA's 2006 World Baseball Classic roster in January 2006.
The Braves' second season was disappointing. In 2006, he set career highs in losses (12) and ERA (4.86) in both directions. In 2007, he returned to his best form, finishing with a 16–10 record and a 3.33 ERA. At one point in the season, he was in the middle of a 9-game winning streak, his second of his career. On April 25, Hudson took out a career-high 13 batters against the Florida Marlins.
Hudson is one of only seven ballplayers to play in the National League in 2007, winning at least 12 games in a year, including Carlos Zane, Greg Maddux, Roy Oswalt, Jason Marquis, Derek Lowe, and Jeff Suppan.
Hudson announced on August 2, 2008 that he would have Tommy John ligament transplant surgery on his pitching elbow, but he didn't have to miss the remainder of the 2008 season. He began the 2009 season on the 60-day DL, but did not play before the All Star break. "He's ready to go," Atlanta Braves manager Bobby Cox said on July 2, 2009. ... He's really come along. He's got major-league stuff right now, as well as his normal stuff. Hudson's return, which had been expected from mid-to-late-August, would not be rushed, according to Cox. At Class A Myrtle Beach, Hudson's first minor-league rehabilitation program was tentatively scheduled for July 19. Hudson rejoined the Atlanta Braves starting pitching rotation on September 1, 2009 after completing multiple minor league rehab sessions. He surrendered only two runs to win his first game of the 2009 season.
Hudson signed a $28 million, three-year contract with the Braves on November 12, 2009, along with a $9 million option for a fourth year. Hudson set a career high in strikeouts against the Florida Marlins on August 28, 2010.
Hudson was named the 2010 NL Comeback Player of the Year on October 5, 2010.
Hudson's second home run in Atlanta, a two-run home run, was his second home run of the game in a 2–0 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on June 20, 2011. In the top of the fifth inning against J. P. Arencibia, he got his 1,600th strikeout on the same day. Hudson was the winning pitcher in the Braves' 10,000th victory in franchise history on July 15, 2011.
In 2012, Hudson went 16–7 with a 3.62 ERA. Hudson had his $9 million option exercised by the Braves on October 30, 2012.
Hudson defeated the Washington Nationals 8-1 at Turner Field on April 30, 2013. He became the 113th major league pitcher to win 200 games. Hudson went 7 innings, giving up only 3 hits and 1 run in the process. He was also giving up 5 strikeouts and 2 walks. Hudson went 2 for 3 at the plate with a double and a home run. When Eric Young, Jr., who was attempting to beat a throw to first base, mistakenly stepped on Hudson's leg above the ankle, he was pitching a 4-hit shutout against the New York Mets on July 24, 2013. Hudson's 2013 season was marred by an ankle fracture. Hudson became a free agent after the season. His tenure with the Braves was 113–72, with an ERA of 3.56.
Hudson decided to a two-year, $23 million deal with the San Francisco Giants on November 18, 2013. Hudson went for a franchise record by pitching 30+2/3 innings in the season before calling a halt. Carlos Santana was snapped on April 25 as he walked him on April 25. In his first year with the Giants, he was selected to play in the All-Star Game. He has been with the All-Star team at least once with every squad he has played for, bringing him to their highest degree of achievement. Hudson won by 4–2 over the Colorado Rockies at Oracle Park on August 27, 2014 (then called AT&T Park) for his 2,000th career strikeout. Hudson played in game 2 of the 2014 NLDS for the first time; while on the Braves in 2005, Hudson also began the only other postseason game to last longer than 16 innings. Hudson was the first pitcher to start Game 7 of the World Series on October 29, and he was the oldest pitcher to start Game 7 of the World Series on October 29. The Giants defeated the game 3–2, and the series, 4–3, over the Kansas City Royals, giving Hudson his first and only World Series ring of his 16-year career. He became San Francisco's oldest pitcher (age 39) to make a World Series debut when Hudson started Game 3 on Sunday.
Hudson predicted that it would be his last fight before the 2015 season. Hudson became the 15th pitcher in MLB history to win over all 30 current teams after a 4-3 victory over the Oakland Athletics on July 26, 2015. Hudson launched a match against Zito and the Athletics on September 26, 2015 in a match that was arranged to honor the A's "Big Three" of the early 2000s. Following the game, both pitchers received long standing ovations from the sold-out Oakland Coliseum crowd (which included Mulder's third Big Three player) after being booed.
