[edit] Biographical Information

Brandon League has been touted as a future closer ever since he made his major league debut as a September call-up with the Toronto Blue Jays in 2004. He has an outstanding fastball and complements it with a cutter that has a lot of movement, but a lack of control has hampered his success in the big leagues in his first years, forcing him to spend time in the minor leagues each year from 2005 to 2008. He made the Jays' bullpen out of spring training in 2009 after posting a 2.18 ERA over the second half of 2008 and finally seemed ready to cash in on his promise with the opportunity to shine presented by closer B.J. Ryan's early-season injury.

Born in California, League grew up in Hawaii. He wears goggles on the mound.
