Dustin Michael McGowan (Born on March 24, 1982 in Savannah, Georgia, United States) is a baseball player, currently a pitcher for Toronto Blue Jays. He made his major-league debut on July 30, 2005 against the Texas Rangers and received a no decision in an impressive performance.

After spending some time in the Jays bullpen in early 2006, he was sent to the minors on May 11 to work as a starter. Since returning to the big league club in July, however, he has only made one start and spent most of his time in the bullpen.

McGowan's hometown is sometimes listed more specifically as Ludowici, Georgia.

McGowan was considered one of the cornerstone players of the Blue Jays for the future. His slow development (in particular, his control of his pitches) has made him potentially available in a trade during the 2006 off-season, where he had previously been off-limits to potential trades.

With the Blue Jays failing to sign free agent pitchers Gil Meche and Ted Lilly in the offseason, McGowan is expected to challenge for a rotation spot with the Blue Jays in 2007 along with Shaun Marcum, Casey Janssen, and Josh Towers.

McGowan was eligible to be claimed off waivers had he not made the 2007 Blue Jays 25-man roster out of Spring Training, but recently the Blue Jays were granted another minor-league option year for him. This enables McGowan to be sent down to the minors, if necessary, without being exposed to waivers during the 2007 season.[1]
