Blue Jays Rule 5 Pick Spencer Miles Brings Velocity

The Toronto Blue Jays acquired right-handed pitcher Spencer Miles in the Rule 5 draft. Miles, 25, throws 95-99 mph with sink and a curve, slider, and changeup. He missed 2023 due to back surgery and pitched only 14.2 innings in 2024 after a flexor strain led to Tommy John surgery. Scouts note his velocity and ground ball potential.
