Biographical Information

Tom Filer went 7-0 in his career with the Toronto Blue Jays. This may not sound much, but no other pitcher in history has permanently left a team after more than 6 wins, and no losses.

In 2005, Aaron Small was 10-0 for the New York Yankees to threaten this record, but Small then lost his first decision for the Yankees in 2006.

Filer was a coach in the Yankees' system from 1994-2002, the Blue Jays' system in 2003, the Philadelphia Phillies' chain in 2004-2009, and the Pittsburgh Pirates' chain since 2010. He was scheduled to be pitching coach for the Altoona Curve in 2020 before the season was cancelled due to Covid-19.
