John David Hellweg (born October 29, 1988) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the New Jersey Jackals of the Canadian American Association of Professional Baseball. He has played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Milwaukee Brewers.
Hellweg attended St. Dominic High School in O'Fallon, Missouri, and Florida State College at Jacksonville. The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim selected Hellweg in the 16th round of the 2008 MLB Draft. The Angels traded Hellweg, Jean Segura, and Ariel Peña to the Milwaukee Brewers for Zack Greinke on July 27, 2012.
The Brewers promoted Hellweg to the majors for the first time on June 26, 2013. Hellweg made his Major League debut on June 28, 2013 against the Pittsburgh Pirates. During his debut, he pitched only 1 2⁄3 innings surrendering 7 runs (all in the 2nd inning). He finished the season with a 1-4 record and an unprecedented 9/26 SO/BB ratio.
Hellweg began the 2014 season as the opening day starter for the Brewers Triple A team Nashville Sounds. After 4 starts though, Hellweg would miss the remainder of the season due to injury. Hellweg would return from injury in 2015 to pitch in 16 starts between AA and A (advanced). Through his 16 minor league starts, Hellweg was 1-10 with 52 walks in 61 innings.
Hellweg was released by the San Diego Padres on July 4, 2016 after posting an ERA of over 10 in 10 games, including 6 starts.
