Jeff Hoffman, originally drafted by the Jays in 2014, struggled through parts of five seasons with the Rockies and two with the Reds before finding some stability with the Phillies. Signed by the Blue Jays for three seasons at $33 million, Hoffman's initial stats showed a rough May with a 13.50 ERA and three blown saves. From June onward, he improved to a 1.50 ERA with eight saves, maintaining a strikeout rate of 32.9% but allowing double the home runs compared to last year, with more hard and soft contact as well.
Jeff Hoffman, drafted as the Jays’ first-round pick in 2014, struggled initially with the Rockies and Reds but is now finding value with the Phillies and Blue Jays.
In May, Hoffman faced challenges with a 13.50 ERA and three blown saves, but improved significantly to a 1.50 ERA with eight saves starting in June.
Hoffman's strikeout rate stays at about 32.9% this year; however, he is allowing twice as many home runs compared to last year.
Despite a rough start, if Hoffman maintains his current performance for the rest of the season, he could become a reliable asset for the Blue Jays.
