Hailing from Mundelein, Illinois, Ryan Borucki has already made a name for himself with the Blue Jays fanbase at just 25 years old.
As a high school senior, Ryan was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 15th round of the 2012 amateur draft. He signed with the team and began his first professional season with the Gulf Coast Blue Jays of the Rookie league later that year. He pitched to a 1-0 record and 3.00 ERA in six innings before undergoing Tommy John surgery. This injury would cause him to miss the entire 2013 season, and was a major setback in his professional career, given the recent draft the same year.
