Jay, who turns 30 today, had a brief stint on the big league team. He pitched twice, allowing only one run over four innings. That Terry Crowley Jersey cup of coffee was the culmination of a lengthy climb through the profe sional ranks. The sixth overall pick in the 2015 draft by the Twins, Jay never reached the big leagues with Minnesota. Injuries, most notably a 2017 thoracic outlet procedure, stopped the Illinois product from moving past Double-A. It looked as if Jay would never get to the majors, but he reinvigorated his career in independent ball. Jay showed enough with the Frontier Leagues Joliet Slammers between 2022-23 to earn a minor league opportunity from the Mets. He made six appearances with Syracuse late last season and began this year with 5 2/3 scorele s innings there.
