Dylan Charles Covey (born August 14, 1991) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the New York Mets of Major League Baseball (MLB). He has previously played in MLB for the Chicago White Sox, Boston Red Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers, Philadelphia Phillies, and in the Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL) for the Rakuten Monkeys.
Covey was selected by the Milwaukee Brewers in the first round of the 2010 MLB draft. However, a physical examination performed by the Brewers diagnosed Covey with Type I diabetes. He, instead, chose to enroll at the University of San Diego, 125 miles from his Pasadena, California, home, and played college baseball for the San Diego Toreros prior to being selected by the Oakland Athletics in the fourth round of the 2013 MLB draft.
The White Sox selected Covey in the Rule 5 draft after the 2016 season and he made his MLB debut with the White Sox in 2017. He played for the White Sox through 2019, for the Red Sox in 2020, the Monkeys in 2021 and 2022, and the Dodgers in 2023.
