Career Transactions
Selected by Blue Jays in first round (ninth overall) of 2014 draft; signed July 2, 2014; Traded by Blue Jays with SS Jose Reyes and RHPs Miguel Castro and Jesus Tinoco to Rockies for SS Troy Tulowitzki and RHP LaTroy Hawkins, July 28, 2015.
Background
Hoffman established himself as one of the better college pitchers in the 2014 draft class, but he blew out his elbow that year. He’s made a full return from Tommy John surgery and taken a step forward after a trade to the Rockies.
What to Watch For
Hoffman has premium velocity but his fastball is just as notable for breaking bats as missing them.
