ECU Alum Jeff Hoffman is ranked among the 10 top relief pitchers in Major League Baseball.
Empire Sports Media put together its list of the most elite relief pitchers in the game. Their list doesn’t include all closers, so those that made the list are definitely among the best.
Hoffman, who spent last season as a set-up man for the Philadelphia Phillies, recently signed a free-agent deal with the Toronto Blue Jays. He’s slated to be their closer.
Hoffman was ranked No. 8 by Ryan Garcia, who said in part in his report, “Should I be worried about Jeff Hoffman’s medicals? Maybe, but since he’s healthy as of right now and hasn’t hit the IL, my list will treat him as a healthy pitcher until proven otherwise.”
