"Spencer's first three collegiate seasons were spent at Indiana State, posting a 5.63 ERA and 5.26 FIP in his freshman season, a 3.86 ERA and 3.90 FIP in 37.1 innings pitched in his sophomore season in 2023, and a 4.08 ERA and 3.54 FIP in 2024. His final season with Indiana State saw him start nine of 18 games, after spending the 2023 season as the Sycamores' closer."
"Drafted in the 14th round of the 2024 draft by the Philadelphia Phillies, Spencer elected to transfer to the University of Texas at Austin for his senior season, a move that paid off well. The left-handed pitcher started all 10 games he appeared in, finishing the year with a 3.27 ERA and a 3.89 FIP in 52.1 innings pitched, with a 29.3 K% and 10.2 BB%. Unfortunately, he needed season-ending surgery in April, hence why he wasn't picked as high as he was projected."
Jared Spencer is a 22-year-old left-handed starting pitcher drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays with the 322nd overall pick in the 11th round of the 2025 MLB draft. Spencer posted mixed results at Indiana State with ERAs of 5.63, 3.86 and 4.08 and shifted between closing and starting roles before transferring to the University of Texas for his senior season. At Texas he started 10 games, logging a 3.27 ERA, 3.89 FIP, 52.1 innings, 29.3% strikeout rate and 10.2% walk rate before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury that required surgery. The Blue Jays signed him for slightly above slot value after saving bonus money earlier in the draft.
