"Borucki has plenty to prove himself, however, as his struggles against right-handed batters and his inability to keep the ball in the park have led to middling results. Over 256 1/3 career innings in the Show, Borucki has a 4.28 ERA, 19.7K%, and 8.9BB%. While Borucki has been prone to allowing home runs, he has done a good job of avoiding fly balls in general, with a 51.8% grounder rate over 135 1/3 innings from 2021-25."
"In 2025, Borucki posted a 4.63 ERA, 22% strikeout rate, and 11% walk rate over 35 innings with the Pirates and Blue Jays, while missing about six weeks due to a back injury. He signed a minor league deal with Pittsburgh last winter, and caught on with Toronto (his original team) on another minors contract after being released by the Bucs in August, but the Jays also designated Borucki for assignment and then outrighted him in September after four MLB outings."
Ryan Borucki signed a minor-league deal with an invitation to the White Sox big league Spring Training camp and returns to the Chicago area after growing up in Mundelein, Illinois. He brings eight MLB seasons of veteran experience to a largely inexperienced White Sox relief corps. Chicago's rebuild priority remains giving innings to younger pitchers, but Borucki could earn a roster spot with strong spring performance and add southpaw depth behind Brandon Eisert and Tyler Gilbert. Career struggles include trouble versus right-handed batters, home run susceptibility, a 4.28 ERA over 256 1/3 innings, and mixed 2025 results while missing time with a back injury.
