He tied Jerson Ramírez for 4th in the New York-Penn League in saves. The 2020 minor league season was wiped out by the COVID-19 pandemic.

He whiffed Eloy Jiménez then allowed a Ketel Marte double to score Rafael Devers. He walked Jeremy Peña and Jeimer Candelario singled to load the bases but he escaped the jam when Gary Sánchez grounded out. Rob Kaminsky took over in the fourth.
