The son of star Pitcher (and bigger star Coach) Mel Stottlemyre, Todd Stottlemyre was Toronto’s Frist Round Pick (3rdOverall) in the 1985 Draft. The righthander needed three years to make the Jays roster.
With his pedigree, Stottlemyre was expected to be a star, but that did not happen, though he was a solid late-rotation starter for years. Stottlemyre helped Toronto win the 1992 and 1993 World Series, with the UNLV product winning at least 11 Games annually from 1990 to 1993, with a peak of 15 Wins in 1991. That was the only year as a Blue Jay that Stottlemyre had an ERA under four (3.78).
Stottlemyre signed with Oakland after the 1994 Season, and with the Jays, he had a record of 69-70, 662 Strikeouts, and a 4.39 ERA.
