Braydon Fisher has become most significant arm in Blue Jays bullpen

By Vanessa Serrao | Last updated May 30, 2026 5:02 PM ET

Toronto Blue Jays reliever Braydon Fisher deserves more recognition for his reliable performance out of the bullpen.

Fisher was acquired through the Cavan Biggio trade from the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2024, and he's been a sensational addition.

His role has transformed in the bullpen this season as the Blue Jays have utilized him in different roles, from the bridge guy to the opener and, in Friday's 6-5 comeback victory over the Baltimore Orioles, the closer.

Fisher picked up his first career save, which was a huge milestone in his professional baseball career. Along with Fisher, Charles McAdoo picked up his first major-league home run in his MLB debut and Canadian-born Adam Macko pitched his first MLB start.

Braydon Fisher has been a weapon in the Blue Jays bullpen

When it comes to Fisher, it's his mentality and versatility as he goes out there in high-leverage roles. Whether it's coming in the fifth or the ninth inning, he's put up fantastic numbers, and pitching in critical late-game situations has added to his dominance.

In the last give games he has pitched, the Blue Jays have won four. During this stretch, he has only given up one hit and one walk while striking out five.

The 25-year-old has a 2-1 record with a 2.48 ERA with 33 strikeouts and 0.95 WHIP this season. Initially drafted by the Dodgers in 2018, he has established himself as a reliable bullpen arm.

His 26.8 % strikeout rate sits in the 78th percentile, and his 28.8% whiff rate ranks in the 76th percentile.

Fisher's dominance on the road has been undeniable, too. He set an MLB record by not giving up a run in any of his appearances on the road across his first two seasons.
