McGlothin, a right-hander, was listed as 6 feet 3 inches (1.91 m) tall and 180 pounds (82 kg). His pro career extended from 1942 to 1954, with the 1943–1945 seasons missed because of his World War II service in the United States Navy.[2] He was a successful minor-league hurler in the Brooklyn farm system, notching 13 or more victories six times in the seven seasons spanning 1946 to 1952.
McGlothin made the Dodgers' 1949 early-season roster and appeared in seven games, all in relief, between April 25 and May 13. He compiled a 1–1 won–lost record with no saves in 152⁄3innings pitched. His victory occurred on May 7, 1949, at Ebbets Field against the Chicago Cubs. Dodger starting pitcherRalph Branca exited the game for a pinch hitter in the fourth inning, trailing 4–3. By the time McGlothin took the mound in the top of the fifth frame, Brooklyn had piled on six runs to take the lead 9–4, which McGlothin preserved by throwing five innings of one-hit, shutout ball. Brooklyn came away with a 10–4 victory.[3] He appeared in one game in 1951 on April 18, when he was ineffective in a mop-up assignment against the Philadelphia Phillies.
All told, McGlothin posted a 1–1 career record in MLB with a 5.60 earned run average in eight relief assignments, allowing 18 hits, six bases on balls, and 11 earned runs in 172⁄3 innings pitched.
