The last time Jordan Humphreys pitched a full season in the minor leagues for the New York Mets was back in 2017. Then, at 21-years-old, he went 10-1 with a 1.42 ERA with the Columbia Fireflies of the Single-A South Atlantic League. He graduated to St. Lucie for a pair of starts, ultimately finished the year with 13 appearances and a 1.79 ERA.
Humphreys seemed like he was on track to a promising professional career. The former 18th round pick became an underdog prospect in the system to watch.
Unfortunately, his year was cut short due to elbow soreness which then led to Tommy John Surgery.
