Professional career

Case signed with the Toronto Blue Jays as an undrafted free agent in October 2013. He drew the attention of the Blue Jays after throwing a no-hitter during "Tournament 12", an annual tournament for the top college players in Canada.[2][3] He was assigned to the Short Season-A Vancouver Canadians for the entire 2014 season, and was a mid-season All-Star for the Canadians.[4] He pitched to a 0–1 win–loss record, 2.45 earned run average (ERA), and 37 strikeouts in 44 innings that year.[1] He split time in 2015 between Vancouver and the Class-A Lansing Lugnuts. Case made 39 total relief appearances in the 2015 season, and posted a 3–4 record, 3.10 ERA, and 44 strikeouts in 521⁄3 total innings, and was again named a mid-season All-Star for Vancouver.[1] Before the start of the 2016 season, Case was suspended for 50-games for failing to take a drug test.[5][6] He made one appearance for the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League Blue Jays and was then promoted to Lansing, where he finished the season. In 252⁄3 total innings, Case posted a 0–2 record, 2.10 ERA, and 22 strikeouts in the 2016 campaign.[1] During the offseason, Case made nine relief appearances for the Canberra Cavalry of the Australian Baseball League (ABL).[1] Case opened 2017 with the Advanced-A Dunedin Blue Jays, and later earned promotions to the Double-A New Hampshire Fisher Cats and Triple-A Buffalo Bisons, posting a combined 7–1 record with a 2.84 ERA in a career-high 66 innings pitched.[1]

On January 24, 2018, the Blue Jays invited Case to spring training.[7]
