Dustin Kamakana Mai Ku’u Makualani Antolin (born August 9, 1989) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays of Major League Baseball (MLB).

Professional career

Minor leagues

Antolin was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays out of Mililani High School in the 11th round of the 2008 Major League Baseball draft. He signed with the team soon after the draft,[1] and was assigned to the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League Blue Jays for the remainder of the season. In 12 games, Antolin pitched to a 2–2 win–loss record, 4.64 earned run average (ERA), and 14 strikeouts in 21​1⁄3 innings pitched.[2] He played the entire 2009 season with the Class-A Lansing Lugnuts, posting a 2–5 record, 4.47 ERA, and 40 strikeouts in 48​1⁄3 innings.[2] Antolin remained with the Lugnuts in 2010, going 2–2 with a 2.93 ERA and 24 strikeouts in 27​2⁄3 innings pitched before undergoing Tommy John surgery.[2][3]

Antolin missed the first half of the 2011 season recovering from surgery. After coming off the disabled list, he made 23 relief appearances for Lansing and one with the Advanced-A Dunedin Blue Jays. In total for the season, he would pitch to a 4–2 win–loss record, 4.05 ERA, and 38 strikeouts in 33​1⁄3 innings. Antolin made the leap to Dunedin full-time in 2012, making a career-high 48 relief appearances totaling 59 innings. He finished the season with a 7–3 record, 4.58 ERA, and 47 strikeouts.[2] Antolin split time in 2013 with Dunedin and the Double-A New Hampshire Fisher Cats. In 55​1⁄3 total innings, he would go 2–3 with a 7.64 ERA and 59 strikeouts. His high ERA was largely due to struggling at the Double-A level, where he pitched 32​1⁄3 innings and posted an 11.41 ERA.[2] The following season Antolin pitched exclusively for the Fisher Cats, where he greatly improved upon his previous season. He pitched to a 4–6 record in 2014, with a 3.38 ERA and 52 strikeouts in 42​2⁄3 innings,[2] and was named a mid-season All-Star.[4]

Antolin remained with the Fisher Cats in 2015, pitching to a 4–3 record, 3.07 ERA, and 55 strikeouts in 55​2⁄3 innings.[2] He would be promoted to the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons in 2016, and opened the season with a 1–1 win–loss, 2.70 ERA, and 3 saves before being called up by the Blue Jays.[5]

Toronto Blue Jays

Antolin was called up by the Blue Jays on May 15, 2016.[6] He made his MLB debut on May 16, pitching 2 innings against the Tampa Bay Rays. The following day, Antolin was optioned back to Buffalo.[7]
