Biographical Information

Pitcher Braxton Roxby was signed by the Cincinnati Reds as an undrafted free agent on June 23, 2020, after attending the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown, which was not a hotbed of professional talent. He had not pitched particularly well for the small school either, posting an ERA of 11.05 in 11 games in 2018, and 9.68 in 5 games in 2020 before the season was brutally interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. In between those two extremes, he had gone 4-3, 5.59 in 2019 and played one summer in the Cape Cod League.

He made his professional debut in 2021, going 2-2, 2.41 with 5 saves in 25 games for the Dayton Dragons before getting a brief look with the AA Chattanooga Lookouts. He returned to Dayton in 2022, where he went 3-0, 4.84 with 3 saves in 19 games, and was with the Dragons yet again at the start of 2023, when he went 4-4, 2.96 with 4 saves in 37 games. That earned him a second shot at Chattanooga, where his ERA was 7.71 in 4 games, after having been 15.00 in 6 games two years earlier. In 2024, however, he spent a full season with Chattanooga, going 0-4, 5.21 with 3 saves in 39 games. He did show a live arm, however, with 65 strikeouts in 48 1/3 innings, after notching 75 in 59 1/3 the year before.

On January 29, 2025, he was traded to the San Francisco Giants in return for major league reliever Taylor Rogers.
