The Buffalo Bisons have 12 relievers in the bullpen, all of which could pitch for the Toronto Blue Jays in 2023

In fact, I’d argue that the Buffalo Bisons’ bullpen could be considered better than a few major league teams, as it has some pretty darn good players pitching out of it.
This is the last article of three that previews Toronto’s Triple-A team. You can read the article about the position players here, and you can read the article about the starters here.
We’ll start with some Blue Jays Nation Top 50 prospects, before moving to the bullpen as a whole. 
<h1>The Buffalo Bisons’ deep bullpen:</h1>
Brandon Eisert starts us off in this article. Last season with the Buffalo Bisons, the 25-year-old left-handed reliever posted a 3.41 ERA and a 3.57 FIP in 60.2 innings pitched. More impressive are his 31 K% and 6 BB%. Out of pitchers in the Blue Jays system with more than 30 innings pitched, his 26 K-BB% ranked the fifth highest. Eisert only sits 91-93 mph with his fastball, but he is utter hell on left-handed batters. <a href="https://bluejaysnation.com/news/blue-jays-nations-2023-preseason-top-50-prospects-45-41">He ranked as Blue Jays Nation’s 44th-best prospect</a>.

Hayden Juenger rose up the minor league system quickly in 2022. Drafted in the sixth-round of the 2021 draft, the 22-year-old started as a 21-year-old in Double-A, where he posted a 4.02 ERA and 5.04 FIP in 56 innings pitched with a 29.5 K%. In his 32.2 innings pitched with the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons, he posted a 3.31 ERA and a 5.34 FIP. However, his K% dropped to 24.6%, while his BB% increased from 9.3% to 11.9%. Either way, <a href="https://bluejaysnation.com/news/blue-jays-nations-2023-preseason-top-50-17-hayden-juenger">he ranks as Blue Jays Nation’s 17th-best prospect heading into 2023</a>.

Adrián Hernández isn’t technically on the Buffalo Bisons roster as I write this, but he’ll more than likely start the 2023 season with Toronto’s Triple-A team. Hernández started off the 2022 season well, posting a 1.88 ERA and a 3.66 FIP with a 36.6 K% and a 10.8 BB% in 24 innings pitched. After a shoulder injury partway through the season, he struggled in his return to Buffalo. From August 17th to the end of the season, he had a 9.95 ERA and a 6.19 FIP in 12.2 innings pitched. This saw his K% drop to 26.2%, while his BB% rose to 14.8%. <a href="https://bluejaysnation.com/news/blue-jays-nations-2023-preseason-top-50-prospects-30-26">Hernández ranked as Blue Jays Nation’s 27th-best prospect heading into 2023</a>.

Nate Pearson isn’t a prospect at this point, but his potential is still rather high. Last season in Triple-A, he had a 3.55 ERA and a 4.38 FIP in 12.1 innings pitched. Moreover, he had a 36 K% and a 14 BB%, but struggled with injury. He dominated the Dominican Winter League, not allowing a run, and striking out 36.4% of the batters he faced. He also showed why he was once a top prospect in spring training, owning a 3.24 ERA in 8.1 innings pitched, touching 100 mph+ multiple times with a nasty knuckle curveball. If he can stay healthy, expect Pearson to see time with the Blue Jays in 2023.

Julián Fernández signed a minor league deal with the Blue Jays late in 2022. Last season with the Colorado Rockies Triple-A team, he posted a 6.63 ERA and 7 FIP in 57 innings pitched but had a solid 24.9 K% and a 12.3 BB%. Fernández’s potential comes from his hard, high-90s fastball, and a nasty changeup which has a large separation in terms of velocity. While his 10.80 ERA in 5 innings pitched in spring training wasn’t great (mainly due to one game), he walked one batter while facing 22 (4.5 BB%). He also struck out seven for a 31.8 K%. Like with everyone else on this list, he has a shot at seeing some innings with the Blue Jays in 2023.

Junior Fernández is another hard-throwing reliever in the Blue Jays system. He has pitched 54 career innings in the big leagues, and has a 5.17 ERA and a 5.57 FIP. Last season, he had a 2.41 ERA and a 5.79 FIP in 18.2 innings pitched between St. Louis and Pittsburgh. Jun Fernández had a solid spring training, posting a 3.38 ERA in 5.1 innings pitched. Despite throwing the ball hard (he averaged 99 mph on his fastball last season), he only stuck out 20.8 of the batters he faced in spring training.

Jackson Rees was one of the more impressive pitchers in spring training. While his 4.50 ERA in 4 innings pitched wasn’t earth-shattering or anything, he had an insane 9 strikeouts facing just 18 batters, good enough for a 50 K% (which I believe is the highest in camp). The 28-year-old has missed much of the last two seasons due to Tommy John surgery, but he had a 3.31 ERA in 16.1 innings pitched last season. Moreover, he had a 31.9 K% in 2022. Keep an eye on him in 2023.

Jay Jackson was recently released but signed a rather interesting deal (read more here). His first season in the big leagues came all the way back in 2015 with the San Diego Padres, but he has pitched 57.2 innings with a 4.21 ERA and a 4.16 FIP. Last season he pitched in Atlanta’s system and posted a 2.29 ERA and a 2.90 FIP in 19.2 innings with their Triple-A team. The 35-year-old had a fantastic spring training, posting a 0 ERA in 9.1 innings, along with 13 strikeouts, which was good enough for a 35.1 K%.
