Spencer David Miles (born July 26, 2000) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays of Major League Baseball (MLB). He made his MLB debut in 2026.
Amateur career
Miles attended Rock Bridge High School in Columbia, Missouri, and the University of Missouri, where he was a walk-on for the Missouri Tigers baseball team.[1] In 2021, he played collegiate summer baseball with the Wareham Gatemen of the Cape Cod Baseball League.[2]
Professional career
San Francisco Giants
The San Francisco Giants selected Miles in the fourth round (136th overall) of the 2022 Major League Baseball draft.[3][4] He split his first professional season between the rookie-level Arizona Complex League Giants and Single-A San Jose Giants, accumulating a 2-0 record and 3.68 ERA with 12 strikeouts across 7+1⁄3 innings pitched. Miles missed the 2023 season due to back surgery; after making five appearances for the ACL Giants in 2024, Miles underwent Tommy John surgery in June 2024, ending his season. Miles did not pitch during the 2025 regular season, but the Giants assigned him to the Arizona Fall League.[5]
Toronto Blue Jays
After the 2025 season, the Toronto Blue Jays selected Miles from the Giants in the Rule 5 draft.[6] Miles made the team's 2026 Opening Day roster[7] and debuted for the Blue Jays on March 28, striking out one and securing the win for the Jays against the Athletics in extra innings.[8]
Personal life
Miles' older brother, John, played baseball for Missouri from 2012 to 2015.[9]
