Zach Pop has officially announced his commitment to the Toronto Blue Jays, marking an exciting new chapter in his baseball career. The hard-throwing right-handed reliever took to social media to share the news, expressing gratitude for the opportunity to continue his journey in Major League Baseball with his hometown team.

“I am super excited to announce my commitment to the Toronto Blue Jays,” Pop wrote. “First, I would like to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for blessing me with this opportunity. I also want to thank my family for always being there for me through the good and the bad times.”

The Brampton, Ontario native has long been recognized for his powerful sinker and ability to induce ground balls at an elite rate. Originally drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2017, Pop has since made stops with the Baltimore Orioles and Miami Marlins before landing with the Blue Jays. His return to Canada has been a source of pride, as he continues to develop into a key piece of Toronto’s bullpen.

Pop also extended his appreciation to his coaches, teammates, and mentors who have helped him reach this milestone. “To all my coaches who have invested time in me, pushing me to be the best version of myself, and to my teammates who have made this journey so special, I cannot thank you enough,” he added.

Since making his MLB debut in 2021, Pop has showcased his potential as a reliable late-inning option. His ability to generate weak contact and pound the strike zone makes him a valuable asset for the Blue Jays as they look to strengthen their bullpen for the upcoming season.

As Pop officially commits to Toronto, he is eager to contribute and make an impact on a team with postseason aspirations. “The work doesn’t stop here,” he concluded. “I’m ready to give everything I have to this team and this city. Let’s go, Blue Jays!”

Blue Jays fans will undoubtedly be excited to see the homegrown talent continue his career in Toronto, as Pop aims to make a lasting mark on the franchise.
