Michael Stefanic made a handful of appearances for the Los Angeles Angels over the last three years, but the infielder is set for a fresh start in the Toronto Blue Jays’ farm system.
Stefanic spent his entire professional career in the Los Angeles Angels’ organization, until he was removed from their 40-man roster in October and granted free agency in November. He made his MLB debut in 2022 and proceeded to appear in 90 games over the next three seasons.
After batting .282 with a .722 OPS across Single-A and High-A in 2019, Stefanic took a massive leap forward coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic. He hit .336 with a .901 OPS between Double-A and Triple-A in 2021, then he put up a .310 batting average and .833 OPS between Rookie Ball and Triple-A in 2022.
For his minor league career, Stefanic has hit .331 with an .861 OPS, averaging 11 home runs, 32 doubles, 87 RBI, 96 runs and 11 stolen bases per 162 games. In the majors, however, he owns a .232 batting average and .591 OPS and 0.0 WAR, failing to hit a home run in 264 career plate appearances.
