Harry Jonathan Pettibone (born July 19, 1990) is an American former professional baseball pitcher, who played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Philadelphia Phillies in 2013–14. His father, Jay, was a starting pitcher for the Minnesota Twins.
After signing with the Phillies in 2008, Pettibone methodically progressed through their
Early life
Pettibone was born July 19, 1990, in Placentia, California, and grew up predominantly in Yorba Linda, California.[1] He has two siblings; his father, Jay, played six seasons of professional baseball, including four appearances with the Minnesota Twins.[2][3] The younger Pettibone attended Esperanza High School in Anaheim, California, and played baseball and basketball there prior to graduating in 2008.[1] After graduation, he planned to play college baseball for the University of Southern California Trojans; however, the Phillies subsequently drafted Pettibone, leaving him to decide between playing college or professional baseball. In an effort to sway him to join the Phillies, scout Darrell Conner had Phillies pitchers Cole Hamels and Kyle Kendrick call Pettibone to share their experiences in deciding when to sign a professional contract, and ultimately, Pettibone agreed to a contract with the Phillies that included a US$500,000 signing bonus.[4]
Professional career

Philadelphia Phillies (2013–2014)
2013 season
Entering the Phillies' 2013 season, despite Pettibone’s quick ascension through the minor leagues and strong performance late in 2012 for the Triple-A IronPigs, he was considered to be behind Tyler Cloyd, Adam Morgan, and Ethan Martin on the organizational depth chart for starting pitchers.[7] Pettibone began the year with Lehigh Valley, and despite a 7.71 ERA in his first three starts, the Phillies called him up to make his major league debut, admittedly "sooner than ... anticipated", according to Pettibone.[8] He made that debut on April 22, 2013, starting for the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park against the Pittsburgh Pirates, pitching 51⁄3 innings, striking out six, while reaching base on a walk and scoring a run for Philadelphia; he earned a no decision in the Phillies' 3–2 defeat of the Pittsburgh Pirates.[9] He remained in the starting rotation for the next several months, but in July, the Phillies ended his season due to an inflamed rotator cuff.[10] In total, his numbers were commensurate with those he posted in the minor leagues – 18 starts, 5–4 record, 4.04 ERA, 1001⁄3 innings pitched.[7][11]
2014 season
Although to remain a viable candidate to pitch in the Phillies rotation he needed to regain complete health, Pettibone began the
2015 season
Pettibone began the 2015 season on the 15-day disabled list to continue recovery from his shoulder surgery.[17]
Chicago Cubs
On February 1, 2016, Pettibone signed a minor league contract with the Chicago Cubs. An invite to spring training was also included.[18] He was released on April 27, 2016.[11]
New Britain Bees
On March 24, 2017, Pettibone signed with the New Britain Bees of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball. He re-signed with the club in early 2018. Pettibone was released on May 10, 2018.[6]
Scouting report
Although Pettibone was not projected to have the highest potential of any Phillies pitching prospect, some talent evaluators thought he had the highest floor (i.e., the worst-case scenario in terms of his development), and these evaluations were confirmed by his rookie season. As such, he projected to be a decent
