is a 28-year-old, left-handed hitting outfielder. The Blue Jays signed him as a minor league free agent at the end of November 2021. In November 2022, he was added to the 40-man roster.Nathan hasn’t made it to the majors yet, but he’s played 626 games in the minors, hitting .277/.340/.401. Last year he played 111 games for the Bisons, hitting .285/.364/.425 with 11 home runs and 20 stolen bases.
You’ll likely remember he had excellent numbers in spring training last year, with a 1.147 OPS. But he wasn’t on the 40-man then, and Gosuke Katoh got the 26th-man spot . He has someone new to battle for the emergency call-up spot. The Jays signed Wynton Bernard to a minor league contract with a spring invite. Wynton is 32 and has the same profile: an outfield, minor league lifer, who can play all three outfield spots, has some speed, and no power to speak of, but Bernard broke through and got 12 games of MLB experience with the Rockies last year.
