Jacob Cauthen "Jake" Westbrook (born September 29, 1977 in Athens, Georgia) is a right-handed starting pitcher for the Cleveland Indians of Major League Baseball.
Besides his sinker, Westbrook's repertoire features a cut fastball, a changeup, and a slider.
Jake was the 21st overall pick in the 1996 Major League first-year player draft out of Madison County High School by the Colorado Rockies. He tossed 5 no-hitters and one perfect game in his high school career.
As a minor league pitcher in the Colorado organization, Jake was part of a trade in 1997 with the Montreal Expos that sent Mike Lansing to the Rockies.
In 1999, Jake was traded from the Expos along with Ted Lilly to the New York Yankees for pitcher Hideki Irabu. Jake appeared in three games for the Yankees as a rookie.
Less than a year later, the Yankees parted ways with Westbrook, Zach Day, and Ricky Ledee in exchange for David Justice of the Indians.
Westbrook was named to the All-Star team in 2004, when he won 14 games with an earned run average of 3.38. After becoming a full-time starter in 2004, the sinkerballer won at least 14 games in three consecutive seasons.
In April 2007, Westbrook signed a three-year, $33 million contract extension with the Indians, which will keep him in Cleveland through the 2010 season.
On March 28, 2008, Westbrook appeared at his high school alma-mater to speak and give thanks as they retired his high school #12 jersey during a home baseball game.
