Biographical Information[edit]

Pitcher Jack Dreyer is the son of former major league pitcher Steve Dreyer. He made his major league debut for the Los Angeles Dodgers at the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan as a reliever against the Chicago Cubs on March 19, 2025. He gave up one run in his inning of work.

He was signed by the Dodgers as an undrafted free agent on August 3, 2021 after having to sit out his final season at the University of Iowa following Tommy John surgery. Compounding this, his 2020 season had been stopped after just 4 starts by the COVID-19 pandemic after he had missed most of 2019 with a shoulder injury, so he was a bit of an unknown package. He started his pro career in 2022 with the ACL Dodgers, pitching 12 games in relief with an ERA of 1.50. In 2023, he went 5-0, 2.30 in 42 games for the Great Lakes Loons of the Midwest League. In 2024, after not giving up a single earned run in his first 9 outings for the AA Tulsa Drillers, he was promoted to the AAA Oklahoma City Baseball Club of the Pacific Coast League where he was 5-2, 2.95 in 37 games, with a 52/9 K/W ratio in 42 2/3 innings. His ERA was a bit misleading though, as he gave up 22 runs, but just 14 were earned. Still, he was named a Baseball America AAA All-Star.

Off the field, he is a whiz at solving the Rubik's Cube three-dimensional puzzle, doing so in as little as 14 seconds. He also creates art from the completed puzzles, including a stunning portrait of Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani in mosaic form. His artwork is ephemeral, though, as he only photographs it before destroying it in order to reuse the cubes.
