Kevin Gausman is envious of Spencer Miles. The 35-year-old veteran — with two All-Star games, over 2,000 career strikeouts and Cy Young votes to his name — envies a rookie.“I watch Spencer pitch right now,” Gausman said earlier this month, “and I think back to being that young guy. Every time you pitch, you’re learning something about yourself and being in the big leagues. Every time you pitch, it’s such a fun time.”Miles, selected in the 2025 Rule 5 draft, has picked up his first strikeout, first start and first win in the last few weeks. Every time he takes the mound, a new lesson arrives. Every opposing swing and shutout appearance teaches him something.Last year, Miles was an overage prospect in High A with a lengthy injury history. Now he’s added pitches, faced MVPs and delivered the Toronto Blue Jays (23-27) three straight scoreless outings. In Toronto’s 2-0 win over the New York Yankees on Thursday, Miles carried the bulk of the relief load to earn a series split. Over 4 1/3 shutout innings, he learned how to dominate at Yankee Stadium.“It seems like every time he’s out there,” manager John Schneider said, “there’s a situation that’s pretty big, and he has responded to it.”Miles hurled a diving sinker at the top of the zone to start his outing Thursday, taking over after Braydon Fisher and Adam Macko opened the bullpen game. That sinking pitch, which Miles calls his “get out of jail free card,” was the first thing Blue Jays bullpen coach Graham Johnson noticed when he met the righty in spring.Simply playing catch on the Florida grass, Johnson could tell why the Jays selected Miles. He was raw, with just 14 2/3 professional innings, but his sinker was legit. It alone gave him a shot to crack the roster.
