Max Pentecost put the pedal to the metal after being drafted first round of the 2014 draft by the Toronto Blue Jays. He initially played in 25 games between the Golf Coast League Blue Jays and Vancouver Canadians. He hit .324 in those games with 17 runs scored and 12 RBI. This debut got the Blue Jays organization excited for the future with Pentecost.
After the solid 2014 debut, though, Pentecost was sidelined for the entire 2015 season due to a shoulder injury. He had surgery in February of 2015 and did not return to game action for 16 months.
