The 25-year-old was acquired by the Blue Jays in the trade that sent Aaron Loup to the Phillies in July. He’s never been regarded as a top prospect and in fact, he signed as a nondrafted free agent in 2015 by the Phillies.
However, his minor league career has been quite solid. Since 2015, he has pitched 326 innings, including 37 starts, with a career ERA (earned run average) of 3.84 along with a fine 8.94 SO/9 and he has only given up 13 home runs in his career.
The only negative number that stands out is his career BB/9 which stands at 3.
