MIN@SEA: Luetge hurls a scoreless ninth inning
Career

Luetge was born in Industry, Texas. He attended Bellville High School in Bellville, Texas and Rice University, where he played college baseball for the Rice Owls baseball team. The Milwaukee Brewers drafted Luetge in the 21st round of the 2008 MLB Draft.

The Seattle Mariners selected Luetge from the Brewers on December 8, 2011 in the Rule 5 Draft.

On June 8, 2012, he was one of 6 pitchers that the Mariners used to no-hit the Dodgers. He recorded one out, getting James Loney on a sacrifice bunt. Luetge was the fourth pitcher to throw in the no-hitter after Stephen Pryor was taken out of the game.

He signed a minor league contract with the Los Angeles Angels on 17 November 2015.

During the 2016 offseason, Luetge signed a minor league contract with the Cincinnati Reds.
On June 4, 2017, Luetge signed a minor league deal with the Baltimore Orioles.
Scouting report
Luetge throws a variety of pitches. He has a four-seam and two-seam fastball that average about 90 mph, a sweeping slider in the low 80s, a curveball in the mid-upper 70s, and an occasional changeup. Luetge's wide arm angle on his delivery makes him appealing as a left-handed specialist; through his first 13 appearances in the 2012 season, lefties were hitting only .105 off of him, but righties managed a .308 average.
