Former Pitt pitcher T.J. Zeuch left after his junior season with the Panthers to pursue a career in the professional ranks after being drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the first round of the 2016 MLB draft. Since then, he’s begun a steady rise through the ranks of the Blue Jays organization and is now considered the team’s No. 9 prospect, according to MLB.com.
He now finds himself pitching for the Double-A New Hampshire Fisher Cats and threw his first career shutout for the team on Saturday night. In the start, Zeuch allowed just three hits and no runs over seven innings, during which he struck out four batsmen and walked four others.
