The Long Beach, Calif., native has spent the last three seasons with the Blue Jays, logging 86.2 innings over 82 appearances while putting up a 3.22 ERA. <\/p>\n

The 21-year-old has lined up at third base, catcher and in the outfield while playing in the Twins’ minor-league system at the single-A and high-A levels.<\/p>\n
In 67 games, most of which came with the Fort Myers Mighty Mussels in single-A, Sprock has a .297 batting average with a .855 OPS, five home runs and 14 stolen bases. <\/p>\n
