Johnny King’s Fast-Rising Pitching Phenom | Toronto Blue Jays News

Johnny King, the 20-year-old pitching phenom dominating Double-A, is rewriting the script with a 1.50 ERA and zero runs allowed in his first four starts—while outpitching guys five years his senior. His breakout isn’t luck: he’s been crushing it since High-A Vancouver, where he struck out over 100 in just 84 innings, and followed up with a stellar 2.48 ERA and 100+ Ks in his first full pro season. Drafted at 17 for over $1M, King’s big frame, 90-mph fastball, and nasty curveball made him a top pick—and now, he’s poised to be Toronto’s next ace.
