Biographical Information[edit]

Kevin Miranda has pitched in the minors and for the Panamanian national team.

He started his collegiate career at Clarendon College. Transferring to LSU-Shreveport, he was 4-1 with a 4.39 ERA in the COVID-19-shortened 2020 then improved to 6-3, 5.19 in 2021 and 13-1, 2.44 in 2022. He struck out 156 and walked 13 in 88 2/3 IP in 2022. He led the Red River Athletic Conference in wins and Ks, winning RRAC Pitcher of the Year honors. [1]

An undrafted free agent, he signed with the Toronto Blue Jays. He split 2023 between the Dunedin Blue Jays (1-0, Sv, 1.11 in 7 G) and Vancouver Canadians (2-5, 4.35 in 17 G). In '24, he pitched for the FCL Blue Jays (0-1, 2 R in 2 1/3 IP), Dunedin (1-1, Sv, 4.66 in 5 G), Vancouver (2-1, 3.57 in 6 G) and the New Hampshire Fisher Cats (1-1, 2.86 in 5 G). He then was with Panama for the 2024 Premier 12. In his lone outing, he was a bright spot in their 9-3 loss to Team USA. He relieved Gilberto Chu with a 7-0 deficit in the second and one out. He immediately quieted the explosive US bats, striking out Colby Thomas and retiring Termarr Johnson. He allowed four hits and a walk in 3 1/3 shutout innings, striking out four. Severino González took over for him. He tied Steven Fuentes for the team lead in the event for most innings without allowing a run. [2]
