Jeff Hoffman at Spring Training, ‘Excited to get going this year’

by | Feb 17, 2025

Monday was a big day for new Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher and ECU alum Jeff Hoffman.

He reported to Spring Training in Dunedin, Fla., and the cameras were front and center with him.

“Just got done getting my work in on the field,” Hoffman said in a video posted to the Toronto Blue Jays X account. “Everything feels great. And I’m excited to get going this year.”

Another X post by the Blue Jays read, “This is the team that Drafted me. They’ve always believed in me. I’m happy to be back.”

Hoffman also had an interview with CBS 6 reporter Al Pankowski about joining the Blue Jays, Spring Training and more. Click the below video to watch. Click here for the full video.
