ASU Baseball: Benson Signs with Blue Jays, ASU pitching staff left thin

When Arizona State lost three of their top pitchers in February, the expectation was that each would rehab, and return in 2022 for the Sun Devils.

A full season and a head coaching change later, and it’s clear that won’t be the case. Cooper Benson, a redshirt freshman left hander and projected center piece of the 2021 rotation, signed with the Toronto Blue Jays Thursday after being selected in the 17th round earlier this month.

Super excited to be apart of the Blue Jays organization! Would like to thank @ASU_Baseball for all the memories and friendships that will last a lifetime!
