Matthew Brian Bush is a professional baseball pitcher from the United States who currently plays for the Texas Rangers of Major League Baseball (MLB).
In the 2004 Major League Baseball draft, the San Diego Padres used the #1 overall choice to choose him, making him the team’s first-ever draft pick.
Before making his debut on May 13, 2016, Bush had only played as far as Double-A, which is two levels below the level of the Major Leagues.
In 2009, the Padres sent him to the Toronto Blue Jays, but the Blue Jays promptly waived him without allowing him to make a single appearance for them.
After that, he was a member of the Tampa Bay Rays organization but was eventually let go in 2012 due to an incident with drunk driving.
In December 2012, he entered a plea of no contest to the counts that were linked to the incident, and he was subsequently sentenced to 51 months in state prison.
Following his release from jail after serving 39 months, he signed a contract to play with the Texas Rangers.
Bush graduated from San Diego’s Mission Bay High School. He was a top major league prospect at shortstop because of his defence and arm strength.
He batted.450 with 11 home runs and 35 runs batted in (RBIs). He also pitched, with a fastball of 94 mph and a good curveball.
Bush had a 5–1 record, two saves, and a 0.73 ERA in five starts (ERA). Bush was widely regarded as one of the finest five-tool players to emerge from high school.
In high school, he also played soccer and ran track.
