He served as the pitching coach for the Arizona Diamondbacks from 2011 to 2013 and the Los Angeles Angels from 2016 to 2018.

Nagy was born on May 5, 1967, in Bridgeport, Connecticut. He is of Hungarian ancestry. Nagy attended Roger Ludlowe High School in Fairfield, Connecticut, where he starred in baseball and football. Nagy attended the University of Connecticut. Playing for the Huskies, he ranked second and eighth all time for strikeouts in a single season (113, 81) and fifth for his career (194). His single season marks for the Huskies (entering the 2011 season) include tied for third in complete games (8), tied for sixth in saves (4), and 17th in innings pitched (86 1/3). He was the first Huskies player drafted in the first round and the first to be named the BIG EAST Pitcher of the Year, which he won twice (for the 1987 and 1988 seasons). In 1987, he played collegiate summer baseball with the Harwich Mariners of the Cape Cod Baseball League, and was playoff MVP of Harwich's league championship squad. Nagy was a member of the Team USA Baseball that competed in the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea as a demonstration sport. Nagy made 19 appearances for Team USA, going 3 1 with a 1.05 ERA and a team leading six saves. He appeared in two games in the Olympics, pitching 2.0 innings and earning a save. He scored on a single by Travis Fryman. Nagy was the 19th pitcher to get a hit in the All Star Game, and is the only pitcher to record a hit in the All Star Game in the designated hitter era. On May 15, 1993, Nagy left a game against the Milwaukee Brewers with a shoulder injury after pitching to just two batters. He was a miserable 2 6 at that point and underwent surgery for a torn labrum on June 29, shutting him down for the 1993 season. He rebounded in 1994 with a respectable 10 8 record with a 3.45 ERA during the strike shortened season. During the 1995 season, Nagy led the staff with a 16–6 and a 4.55 ERA, as the Indians returned to the World Series for the first time since He pitched well in the division and league championship series, giving up two earned runs in 15 innings, but surrendered five earned runs in seven innings in Game 3 of the 1995 World Series. The next year, 1996, was among his best; he recorded a 17–5 record and a 3.41 ERA, and he finished fourth in AL Cy Young Award voting. In the 1997 World Series, Nagy was the Game 3 starter. He gave up 5 earned runs in six innings. In Game 7, after a blown save by closer José Mesa, Nagy was brought in in the 10th inning. In the bottom of the 11th inning, Nagy gave up a bases loaded single to Édgar Rentería that appeared to graze off his outstretched glove to end the game and the series, pinning Nagy with the loss. In 1999, Nagy batted twice in a game against Toronto, after a mistake with the initial lineup card cost the Indians their designated hitter. As of 2021, he is one of only eight different pitchers to have batted more than once in a nine inning game that used the designated hitter rule. During this period from 1995 through 1999, Nagy was the workhorse of the Tribe pitching staff, amassing 15 or more wins each season, a feat only matched by Greg Maddux. However, Nagy was placed on the disabled list (DL) on May 16, 2000, snapping a streak of 192 consecutive starts dating back to October 3, 1993. On May 19, 2000, he underwent arthroscopic surgery to remove bone chips from his elbow. He returned to make three starts in September, but was shut down after three losses and persistent pain. He would get just six more wins from 2001 through 2003. Despite a solid spring training and not missing a turn in the spring rotation, Nagy started the 2001 season on the disabled list, as the Indians felt he needed to build strength in his surgically repaired elbow. He did not come off of the DL on June 1. Nagy's last season, 2003, was with the San Diego Padres. He finished 6th on the Tribe's all time strikeout leader list (1,235), 10th in wins (129), and 11th in innings pitched (1,942 1/3).

He was inducted in the Kinston Professional Baseball Hall of Fame in , and the Cleveland Indians Team Hall of Fame on August 11, 2007. In 2009, Nagy was named the pitching coach of the Cleveland Indians' AAA team, the Columbus Clippers. On October 26, 2010, Nagy was named pitching coach of the Arizona Diamondbacks. He was fired by general manager Kevin Towers on October 7, 2013 partly for refusing to instruct pitchers to hit players on opposing teams. It was duly noted by journalists that the Diamondbacks pitchers actually hit 60 batters last season, while their batters were only hit 43 times. In February 2015, Nagy was hired again by the Cleveland Indians as Special Assistant to Player Development along with Travis Hafner and John McDonald. On November 2, 2015, Nagy was named the pitching coach of the Los Angeles Angels. He retired from coaching in 2018.
