A star pitcher with the Santa Clara University baseball team, Loughlin played in the 1962 College World Series. He entered the major leagues in 1967 with the Phillies, appearing for them in three games. He posted a 15.19 ERA and did not have a decision or saves, giving up nine runs on nine hits and four walks while striking out five in 51⁄1 innings of work.
A double in his only MLB plate appearance left him with a rare career 1.000 batting average.

Loughlin died in Denver, Colorado, at the age of 57.
