The Book on Dusty Hughes

Prospect Info

KCDusty Hughes
Born 6/29/1982
LHP, KC

Hughes, a lefthander who was once highly ranked before requiring midseason Tommy John surgery in 2006, is still well-regarded, if a bit behind schedule. Depending who you listen to, The Kid from Tupelo is either the next Tom Glavine, or destined for sixth-starter status. His performance as he works back from his injury will say a lot.
