"Heineman is the king of position player-pitcher appearances in Blue Jays history, a record that may never be broken. He has seven total appearances under his belt, one coming as a member of the San Francisco Giants in 2020."
"In six total appearances, Heineman's ERA has ballooned up to 20.86, which is to be expected for a 'reliever' who is simply there to stop the bleeding in a blowout."
"He remains the only Blue Jays position player to pitch in relief during a winning effort for his team; all others have been lopsided losses."
"According to Baseball Savant, Heineman's repertoire is exclusively eephus pitches this season, with a velocity ranging from 38.7 MPH to 77.7 MPH."
