Bradley Richard Hand (born March 20, 1990) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies of Major League Baseball (MLB).
He has previously played in MLB for the Miami Marlins, San Diego Padres, Cleveland Indians, Washington Nationals, Toronto Blue Jays, and New York Mets.
Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Hand’s family settled in Chaska before he entered high school. He was a three-sport athlete at Chaska High School, and after his senior year in 2008, the Florida Marlins selected him in the second round of the 2008 MLB Draft.
On September 2, 2021, the New York Mets claimed Handoff of waivers from the Blue Jays. Because he was not with the team on September 1, Hand would be ineligible to appear in the postseason for the Mets, but was added to the bullpen to help them clinch a potential playoff berth in the final month of the regular season.
This bid was ultimately unsuccessful, as the Mets were eliminated from playoff contention with a 2–1 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers on September 25.
Hand made 16 appearances for New York in September, and while he had a 1–0 record and 2.70 ERA, he also allowed five of the six runners he inherited to score, and the Mets stopped placing him in high-leverage situations as a result. He became a free agent at the end of the season.
Hand married Morgan on February 28, 2015, and the couple welcomed their first child, a girl, that same year. In 2018, their second child, a boy, was born. During the offseason, the Hands reside in Jupiter, Florida.
