Chase De Jong - Pittsburgh Pirates

Prior to the 2022 season, Chase De Jong’s career mainly consisted of bouncing between Triple-A and the major leagues while being utilized as a starting pitcher.

In his first five seasons in the major leagues from 2017-21, De Jong spent time with the Seattle Mariners, Minnesota Twins, Houston Astros and eventually the Pittsburgh Pirates.

In those five years, De Jong went 2-9 with a 6.52 ERA across 98 innings in 24 appearances, 19 of which were starts.

The right-hander made nine starts with the Pirates last year, pitching to a 1-4 record with a 5.77 ERA before a knee injury cut his season short.

Fast forward a couple months, and much has changed for the 28-year-old.
