Tim Mayza was selected by the Blue Jays in the 12th round, 355th overall of the 2013 amateur draft from the Millersville University of Pennsylvania. The 6’3″ southpaw inked a signing bonus of $100,000 and began his professional career with Bluefield.
Mayza features a mid-nineties fastball from the left side and a much-improved sweeping slider as his put away pitch. The hurler has back of the bullpen stuff so look for him to be thrust into some high leverage situations if he performs well out of the gate for Manager John Gibbons.
The native of Allentown, Pennsylvania began the 2017 campaign with Double-A New Hampshire and struggled.
