Joshua Smith Fogg (born December 13, 1976 in Lynn, Massachusetts) is a Major League Baseball pitcher who plays for the Colorado Rockies. He played college baseball at the University of Florida and was drafted by the Chicago White Sox in the third round of the 1998 Amateur draft. He made his major league pitching debut September 2, 2001. He was traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates in December of that year. He signed with the Rockies prior to the 2006 season.
The most impressive start of Fogg's career came on June 30, 2006, against the Seattle Mariners at Safeco Field in Seattle, Washington. While pitching for the Colorado Rockies, Fogg threw a two-hit complete game shutout while facing the minimum 27 batters. All three Mariners who reached based (Adrian Beltre and Kenji Johjima on singles and Raul Ibanez on a base on balls) were all erased on double plays by infielders Garrett Atkins, Clint Barmes, Jamey Carroll, and Todd Helton.
