About Aaron Loup
- Aaron Christopher Loup (born December 19, 1987) is an American professional baseball pitcher who is a free agent.
- He previously played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Toronto Blue Jays, Philadelphia Phillies, and San Diego Padres.
- He stands 6 feet 0 inches (183 cm) and weighs 210 pounds (95 kg).
- Born in Raceland, Louisiana, Loup played baseball at Hahnville High School and Tulane University, where he led his teams to several state playoff appearances and recorded a five-hit shutout.
- He was drafted by the Blue Jays out of Tulane in the ninth round of the 2009 draft. After playing for three years with minor-league affiliates for the Toronto Blue Jays and even being chosen for the 2012 Eastern League All-Star Game, Loup was called up to the Blue Jays as a replacement for Luis Pérez and retired all six batters he faced.
- He was later voted the 2012 Toronto Blue Jays Rookie of the Year by the Toronto chapter of the Baseball Writers' Association of America (BBWAA).
- Loup pitched 1?1/3 innings on Opening Day in 2013, and would go on to win his first major league game on April 10 against the Detroit Tigers.
- He recorded his first two major league saves on April 12 and June 2, and led the Blue Jays to a win in an 18-inning game on June 8 after a pair of groundouts. Loup is a southpaw whose pitching drastically improved after coaches told him to become a sidearm pitcher.
- His fastball has been noted as particularly effective against both left- and right-handed batters, but he continues to struggle with a changeup.
- Manager John Gibbons does not view Loup as a long reliever, but rather as a "situational, one-inning guy." He is known for his "relaxed" personality, which has improved after spending time with his teammates.
