The Toronto Blue Jays produced a bounce-back 2025 season driven by contributions from savvy veterans, elite superstars, and key role players. Braydon Fisher debuted after six minor-league seasons and posted a dominant stretch, holding opponents scoreless in his first seven appearances and 21 of his first 22, finishing with a 3.03 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 50 strikeouts in 38 2/3 innings over 41 games before a temporary demotion and an expected return around September 1. The team also experienced rare moments, including both clubs using positional players to pitch in the same game on August 16, when Toronto defeated Texas 14-2.
He made quite the first impression with the team after getting the call in early May. Fisher held the opposition scoreless in his first seven appearances, and ultimately 21 of his first 22 overall. In doing so, he became one of the Jays' most dominant relievers out of the bullpen this season, compiling a solid 3.03 ERA, 1.01 WHIP, along with a whopping 50 strikeouts in just 38 2/3 innings pitched over 41 games played.
However, to have BOTH the winning and losing team doing that in the same game is quite the rarity. But the Blue Jays and the Texas Rangers managed to accomplish that feat when former Jay Rowdy Tellez (now with the Rangers) and current Jays' catcher Tyler Heineman did so in a game at the Rogers Centre on August 16 in a game the Blue Jays won 14-2.
