Jacob Stephen Lindgren (born March 12, 1993) is an American former professional baseball pitcher. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the New York Yankees in 2015. He played college baseball for Mississippi State University.

Amateur career

Lindgren attended

2013 College World Series, which Mississippi State lost to the UCLA Bruins. In 2013, he played collegiate summer baseball in the Cape Cod Baseball League for the Bourne Braves.[4]

Lindgren became a relief pitcher in 2014, his junior year.[5] In 2014, he was named a finalist for the C Spire Ferriss Trophy, given to the best college baseball player in Mississippi.[6][7] He finished his college career with a 12–6 win–loss record, 2.64 earned run average (ERA) (including 0.81 in his Junior 2014 season, his first as a reliever), 189 strikeouts, and 50 walks in 54 games (16 starts) and 139+2⁄3 innings pitched.[8]

Professional career

New York Yankees

The

Eastern League in August.[13] Over the whole season, he pitched in 19 games with a 2–1 record, 2.16 ERA, a save, and 48 strikeouts compared to just 13 walks in 24+2⁄3 innings pitched.[9] His high rate of strikeouts earned him the nickname 'The Strikeout Factory.'[14]

Lindgren began the 2015 season with the

bone spur from his left elbow.[18]

Lindgren struggled during spring training in 2016, and began the season with the Class-A Advanced

Tommy John surgery in August, which forced him out for the rest of the season.[20] The Yankees non-tendered Lindgren after the season, making him a free agent.[21]

Atlanta Braves

On December 4, 2016, Lindgren signed one-year contract with the

Tommy John surgery for the second time in his career on March 29, 2018, and missed a second full season.[24][25] He elected free agency on November 2.[26]

Chicago White Sox

On January 5, 2019, Lindgren signed a minor league deal with the

Kannapolis Intimidators, and the High-A Winston-Salem Dash
, posting a 2.83 ERA with 28 strikeouts in 28.2 innings of work.

Though he initially re-signed with the Braves before the 2020 season,[29] Lindgren did not play in a game that year due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[30] He re-signed on a minor league deal on November 2, 2020, and was a non-roster invitee that spring.[31] Lindgren recorded a 10.13 ERA across 8 appearances for the Triple-A Charlotte Knights before being released on June 4, 2021.[32]

Kansas City Monarchs

On June 20, 2021, Lindgren signed with the

Kansas City Monarchs of the American Association of Professional Baseball.[33]
Lindgren made 23 appearances for the Monarchs downs the stretch, posting an 0-2 record and 5.40 ERA with 25 strikeouts in 26.2 innings pitched.

He was released on March 24, 2022. On April 28, Lindgren re-signed with the Monarchs.[33] Lindgren pitched in 21 games for the team, working to a 1-0 record and 4.26 ERA with 33 strikeouts in 25.1 innings of work. He was released again on August 20.[33]

On February 20, 2023, Lindgren announced his retirement from professional baseball.[34]
