WINNIPEG, Man. – The Winnipeg Goldeyes have signed Canadian right-handed relief pitcher Nick Trogrlic-Iverson.

He becomes the fourth Canadian on the Goldeyes’ roster, joining pitchers Landen Bourassa (Lethbridge, Alta.) and Travis Seabrooke (Peterborough, Ont.), and outfielder Adam Hall (London, Ont.).

The Oakville, Ont., native spent the past three seasons in the St. Louis Cardinals’ system, reaching double-A with the Texas League’s Springfield Cardinals in 2023.

Trogrlic-Iverson appeared in 41 games for Springfield last year, all in relief. He compiled a 4-5 record with a 4.87 earned run average in 64 2/3 innings.

The 26-year-old has a 14-15 career record with a 4.25 ERA and four saves in 96 games.

Originally drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 15th round of the 2018 Major League Baseball June Amateur Draft out of Central Arizona College (Coolidge, Ariz.), Trogrlic-Iverson opted instead to attend Gonzaga University (Spokane, Wash.) and was signed as a free agent by the Cardinals in June 2020.

“We’re excited to add Nick to the bullpen. He's been successful everywhere he’s been, and I know that as a Canadian, he’s excited to come to Winnipeg,” said Goldeyes skipper Logan Watkins. “I think he is going to be a significant factor in our bullpen this season and have the ball in a lot of critical moments.”

Winnipeg now has 21 players under contract for the 2024 season. American Association clubs may carry up to 30 players during spring training, which begins May 1.
