When it comes to facing lefties, Borucki has been shutting them down at an incredible clip, making him a valuable late-inning option whenever the matchup calls for it. Although he has pitched to a staggering 4.96 ERA this season, between the Pirates and the Jays, not much of it has come off left-handed hitters. Can Borucki be a guy the Blue Jays rely on in late-inning options.

He was a 15th round draft pick in 2012 and after six years in the minor leagues, he made his debut with Toronto on June 26, 2018 and in one of the better debuts in Blue Jays history, he went six innings, struck out three and allowed just two earned runs on six hits. Borucki started 17 games in total for the Blue Jays in that 2018 season, finishing with a 1.5 bWAR and looked like he might turn into a decent fourth or fifth starter.
