The Florida Marlins selected Hatcher in the fifth round of the 2006 Major League Baseball draft. He began his professional career with the Marlins organization as a catcher. His best minor league season was 2007 with the Class A Greensboro Grasshoppers, where he played in 102 games and had a .242 batting average and 15 home runs.

Hatcher was promoted to the Major Leagues for the first time on September 1, 2010 as a catcher. He made his MLB debut as a pinch hitter on September 19, in the bottom of the ninth inning against Scott Maine of the Chicago Cubs, and struck out swinging. He was hitless in six at-bats in five games in 2010 for the Marlins, which included two starts at catcher.

On December 10, 2014, Hatcher was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers, along with Andrew Heaney, Austin Barnes, and Enrique Hernández, in exchange for Dan Haren, Dee Gordon, Miguel Rojas and cash. He was initially seen as a key figure in improving what had been a poor Dodger bullpen the previous season. With Kenley Jansen on the disabled list at the start of the season, Hatcher not only made the opening day roster but was given the first opportunity to be the team’s fill-in closer and picked up his first career save on opening day. However, he struggled in subsequent outings and he was moved into less stressful situations. Regardless, manager Don Mattingly said, “we’re not losing faith in him” despite cause for concern about the release point of his pitches. He was placed on the disabled list with a strained oblique, where he remained for two months. When he rejoined the team he regained his form and Mattingly started showing more faith in him. He appeared in 49 games for the Dodgers in 2015, with a 3–5 record and 3.60 ERA and four saves.
