is a 29-year-old right-handed pitcher who came to us in a trade from the Astros for Aledmys Diaz in the winter before the 2018 season.
Thornton made 29 starts in 2019, with a 6-9 record and a 4.84 ERA. He threw the most innings of any Jays pitcher that year. And, it was the seventh most innings ever thrown by a Jays rookie starter. In the shortened 2020 season, he made 3 rather terrible starts. That performance bought his way into the ‘long-man’ role in the pen . In 2021 he had a 4.78 ERA in 37 games, 49 innings. And in 2022 it was a 4.11 ERA in 32 games, with several trips between Buffalo and Toronto in those years.
Trent has a rather basic collection of pitches, fastball, slider, curve and occasional sinker and has league-average velocity. His best pitch has been the slider. He doesn’t get a lot of strikeouts , and he gives out more walks than you would like . And he gives up far more hard contact than we’d like .
