Description
Robert Leon "Butch" Huskey (born November 10, 1971), is an American former professional baseball player who played in the major leagues primarily as an outfielder in 1993 and from 1995 to 2000.
Early life
Huskey was raised in Anadarko, Oklahoma by his grandmother until she sent him at age 10 or 11 to live with his father, a police officer in Lawton, Oklahoma. He lived there with five brothers and three sisters. Because of his proximity to the Oklahoma City 89ers, he grew up a Texas Rangers fan. Huskey attended Eisenhower High School in Lawton where he played football and was an All-State tight end. He was offered a scholarship to play college football for Oklahoma.
1989–1993
Huskey was drafted by the New York Mets in the seventh round of the 1989 Major League Baseball Draft as a third baseman. That year he was awarded the Doubleday Award for the Rookie level Gulf Coast Mets in Sarasota, Florida. Huskey posted a batting average of .263, with six home runs, 34 runs batted in, and four stolen bases in 54 games. Huskey won a second Doubleday Award following the 1991 season, this time playing for the Columbia Mets of the South Atlantic League as he posted a batting average of .287, with 26 home runs, 99 runs batted in, and 22 stolen bases. He won the award along with José Martínez, a right-handed pitcher.
Huskey won the award again in 1993, for the Binghamton Mets of the Eastern League, posting a batting average of .251, with 25 home runs, 98 runs batted in, and 11 stolen bases. By this time, Huskey had been labeled a top prospect by the Mets. Because of this, in August, Huskey was recalled to debut against the Houston Astros, with Darryl Kile on the mound, on the day Kile threw a no-hitter. Huskey was again recalled on September 1, 1993, when rosters expanded. He finished the season in the majors, batting .146 with no home runs, three runs batted in, and no stolen bases. (The Columbia Mets did not become the Capital City Bombers until 1993)
