Jack Nedrow signed a minor league contract with the Toronto Blue Jays as an undrafted free agent after previously playing for the York Revolution. He debuted professionally on May 12 with the Dunedin Blue Jays, pitching four scoreless innings against the Tampa Tarpons while striking out six batters and allowing two hits and one walk. On May 13, he earned his first professional start against Tampa again, throwing six scoreless innings with four hits and one walk while recording five strikeouts. Across both outings, he produced 10 shutout innings and 11 strikeouts, signaling early success for the Blue Jays’ farm system.
"One day later, Nedrow made his professional baseball debut for the Dunedin Blue Jays, Toronto's Single-A Affiliate team, against the Tampa Tarpons (New York Yankees Single-A Affiliate). It was a debut performance to remember. Nedrow fanned six Tampa batters while allowing only two hits and one walk. This allowed Nedrow to finish four scoreless innings in what would become a 2-1 loss, an amazing way to start a professional career."
"Nedrow did not stop there, however, as he pitched against Tampa again on Sunday, earning his first professional baseball start. The USF alum did not disappoint, going six scoreless innings, allowing just four hits and a walk while punching out five more batters. That's 11 strikeouts in 10 innings across two games, something that not many major league pitchers are doing right now."
"All of a sudden, this humble signing on May 11 could become everything the Blue Jays want and then some. For Nedrow, he is finally achieving his dream to play professional baseball after a lot of hard work, and clearly, based on his performance thus far, he is passionate about delivering for his team. Jack Nedrow's 10 shutout innings with 11 strikeouts across his two outings is the Dunedin Refrigeration Ice Cold Performance of the Week❄️"
