Andrew Walker Lockett (born May 3, 1994) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the New York Mets of Major League Baseball (MLB). He previously played for the San Diego Padres.

Career

San Diego Padres

Lockett attended Providence School in Jacksonville, Florida. The San Diego Padres selected him in the fourth round of the 2012 Major League Baseball draft.[1][2] He signed and spent 2012 with the AZL Padres, pitching to a 4.34 ERA in 18.2 innings. He pitched only 2.1 innings in 2013 and 10.1 innings in 2014 due to injuries.[3] Lockett returned in 2015 and pitched for the Fort Wayne TinCaps, Tri-City Dust Devils, and AZL Padres, posting a combined 4-4 record and 4.14 ERA in 18 total games (17 starts) between the three clubs. In 2016, he played for Fort Wayne, the Lake Elsinore Storm, San Antonio Missions and El Paso Chihuahuas, compiling a combined 10-9 record, 2.96 ERA and 1.06 WHIP in 28 total games (25 starts).

The Padres added Lockett to their 40-man roster after the 2016 season.[4] He spent 2017 with El Paso, collecting a 5-2 record and 4.39 ERA in ten starts.[5] He missed nearly three months of the season due to a lower back strain.[6]

On June 1, 2018, Lockett was recalled by the Padres to make a start that evening replacing an injured Joey Lucchesi.[7] Locket allowed four hits, four runs and walked five in 3 and 2/3 innings against the Cincinnati Reds,[8] taking the loss as the Reds defeated the Padres 7-2.

Lockett was traded to the Cleveland Indians on November 20, 2018 in exchange for minor league pitcher Ignacio Feliz.[9]
