Jack Dreyer Gets Called Up To Los Angeles Dodgers

IOWA CITY, Iowa – Former University of Iowa pitcher Jack Dreyer has been called up to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Dreyer was named to the Dodgers 26-man roster for the Tokyo Series on Monday evening. 

“It’s a great testament to Jack’s confidence in himself and perseverance," said head coach Rick Heller. "We’re extremely proud of Jack and happy for his Mom and his Dad, Courtney and Steve. They now have two Big Leaguers in the family!”

The Johnston, Iowa, native has a 10-2 record and a 2.18 ERA in the minors. He has thrown 124 innings, striking out 164 and allowing a 1.11 WHIP.  

Dreyer played for the Hawkeyes from 2017-2020. He had an 8-3 record with a 3.41 ERA. He struck out 76 batters in 60 2/3 innings of work.

The left-handed pitcher was an undrafted free agent signing by the Dodgers.

Dreyer is the fifth player in Heller’s Iowa tenure to get the call to the Majors, joining Nick Allgeyer, Mason McCoy, Tyler Cropley, and Adam Mazur. He is the 10th player to reach MLB who played under Heller, joining Sean Manaea, Dakota Bacus, Colin Rea, Jake Petricka and Ryan Strausborger — all of whom played for Heller at Indiana State. 

The Dodgers faced the Chicago Cubs to open the MLB season today in Tokyo, Japan at the Tokyo Dome.
