He immediately made a quick impact within the organization. He posted low ERA’s in his first two years at A ball, getting promoted to AA Binghamton in 1994. There he threw a no hitter going 14-9 with a 3.22 ERA, and was selected to the Eastern League All Star game. He led his team to the playoffs and at age 20 was considered one of the best pitching prospects in baseball.

Pulsipher got better as the summer went along, on July 31st he pitched a complete game victory, allowing just one run & beating the Pittsburgh Pirates at Shea Stadium.

He was part of Generation K that was supposed to be a big part of the Mets future. In Spring Training 1996 he had elbow pain, and shockingly found out he needed Tommy John surgery to repair torn ligaments. The surgery ended his season & would side line him for over a year.
He came back in 1997 pitching in A ball St. Lucie, getting pushed up to AAA Norfolk as well, but he couldn’t get it together. He then suffered from depression which set him back even further.
In 1998 he returned to pitching, going 7-5 at AAA Norfolk and got called up to the Mets staff in late June. He made his Mets return at Baltimore during inter league play, pitching one inning of relief of Bobby Jones. That day he allowed just one hit in the inning.

At the end of the month he was credited for a pair of holds but his ERA was still up at 6.91. Overall he had allowed 11 earned runs & 23 hits in 14 innings in 15 appearances since returning. On July 31st the Mets gave up on him & traded him to the Milwaukee Brewers for Mike Kinkade. In Milwaukee he was placed in the starting rotation, going 3-4 with a 4.66 ERA the rest of the season.
In 1999 he was 5-6 with Milwaukee, posting a 5.98 ERA. He made16 starts pitching in only 87 innings with 42 strike outs.
Medical Scare: In early 2000, his pregnant wife found him unconscious at their home & he was rushed to the hospital. He was diagnosed with a weak heartbeat, as a result from a diet supplement.

Pulsipher was long gone by the time the Mets post season began. On June 2nd, he was traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks for pinch hitter Lenny Harris, which turned out to be a good trade for the Mets.
From there Pulsipher bounced around to the Boston Red Sox & Chicago White Sox in the 2001 season. Pulsipher then pitched three seasons in the minor leagues as well as in the Independent League with the Long Island Ducks (2004-2007). He returned to the majors in 2005, making five appearances for the St. Louis Cardinals, allowing three runs in four innings.

Retirement: After his playing days he moved to Port St. Lucie Florida & worked for the A ball St. Lucie Mets as a groundskeeper.
He came back to pitch for former legendary Mets All Star; Bud Harrelson, with the Long Island Ducks. He helped the Ducks make the playoffs, but they lost in what was to be the last game of their 2007 season.
Pulsipher continued to pitch in the Independent League through 2011, finishing his career in Bridgewater, New Jersey with the Somerset Patriots.
More recently he served as a pitching instructor in Bellport, Long Island.
Family: He & his wife have two sons whom both have the initials LHP, given intentionally for left handed pitcher.
