Waterloo alum helps power the Toronto Blue Jays

For most kids, the dream is to hit the game-winning home run. For Jeremy Reesor (BSc ’12), it was to build the roster that made it possible. While his friends played baseball video games one game at a time, Reesor was simulating entire seasons, crafting lineups and imagining what it would take to run a Major League team.

Today, that childhood passion has become reality. As vice-president of Baseball Operations for the Toronto Blue Jays, Reesor is at the heart of the decision-making that shapes one of baseball’s most exciting franchises, a team that came within two outs of winning the World Series last season.
