A first-round pick by the Minnesota Twins in 2015, Jay was pitching in the independent Frontier League when he signed with the Mets in August 2023.
Jay, who turns 30 on April 19, has yet to make his major league debut. He pitched 3.2 scoreless innings on Saturday at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in his lone appearance this season for Syracuse.
He pitched in four games during spring training, allowing no runs and no hits in five innings while striking out seven and walking one batter.
Jay was pitching at the University of Illinois when the Twins made him the sixth overall pick in 2015. He pitched in the Minnesota farm system until being traded to the Cincinnati Reds in June 2019 for cash considerations.
Released by the Reds in 2020, Jay resurfaced with the Frontier League's Joliet Slammers in 2022 before latching on with the Mets last August.
