The New York Boulders announced today that the Toronto Blue Jays have purchased the contract of pitcher Brian Rapp and assigned him to their High-Class A affiliate in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

Rapp, 25, signed with the Boulders this past off-season. In four Frontier League starts this season, Rapp, in 20 innings, pitched to a 3.15 ERA, allowing 21 hits in 20 innings of work, while striking out 23 and walking just eight.

Rapp, a native of Mendham, NJ, is a 2018 graduate of Boston College. He was drafted in the 26th round in that year’s MLB Draft by the Minnesota Twins and spent the 2018 and 2019 seasons in their organization.

Debuting in 1993, the Frontier League is the largest and longest-running of the modern independent leagues and features teams stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mississippi River and from the Ohio River to the St. Lawrence Seaway.  In September of 2020, the Frontier League reached an agreement to become a “Partner League” with Major League Baseball.

As a “Partner League,” the Frontier League and its teams will meet on a regular basis with MLB representatives to discuss joint marketing and promotional opportunities, as well as collaborate on initiatives to provide organized baseball to communities throughout the United States and Canada.
