The Toronto Blue Jays need to drastically improve their bullpen over the winter and it seems like they might have part of the solution within the organization in TJ Brock.
The Blue Jays bullpen was atrocious last season as the majority of their relief pitchers seem to do more harm than good as they cost them multiple games throughout the season.
Blue Jays pitcher TJ Brock might have a chance at being part of the bullpen rotation next season
Brock missed the majority of the 2024 season due to injuries, only pitching in 11.1 innings which led to him being sent to the Arizona Fall League at the end of the season where he has been dominating.
Must read on Blue Jays Insider
After an injury-plagued 2024 season where he only pitched 11.1 innings, Brock was sent to the AFL to get in some extra work this offseason. -Kime
The young pitcher has been dominant in his five games in Arizona, only allowing 2 hits while striking out 10 batters and walking 3 others in that time proving he has fully recovered from his injuries.
He's continued that dominance of hitters with the Scottsdale Scorpions in Arizona: in five appearances covering five innings, he's only allowed two hits and three walks against 10 strikeouts. Fellow New Hampshire Fisher Cats right-hander Lazaro Estrada leads the fall circuit with 19 strikeouts in 11.2 innings. -Kime
In terms of bullying hitters in the Fall League, few are better than
@BlueJays
RHP T.J. Brock.
As the Blue Jays look at different options to improve the bullpen for the 2025 season, they will surely be looking into Brock with the way he has been pitching.
