Until the end of the 2021 season, Jhonathan Daz played for the Venezuelan national baseball team.
Boston Red Sox scouts Eddie Romero and Angel Escobar were the ones who brought Daz to the team in 2013.
With the 2014 DSL Red Sox, he made an impressive pro debut, going 6-2, 1.63, and 0.94 WHIP. Miguel Bautista and Samuel Zazueta were tied for ninth place in the Dominican Summer League in terms of ERA for him in 2012.
However, he was sidelined for the following year following knee surgery. In his first season back, he went 4-4 with a 2.85 ERA in the GCL Red Sox in 2016.
In the Gulf Coast League, he was second in strikeouts (57), second in innings pitched (60), and third in Ks per nine innings pitched (3.2).
In his first full season with the Greenville Drive in 2017, he went 6-6 with a 4.57 ERA. The left-hander was split between Salem Red Sox (0-1, 3 R in 4 1/3 IP) and Greenville Braves (0-1, 0 R in 3 1/3 IP) (11-8, 3.00).
His WHIP (1.06) put him in a tie for 5th place with Spencer Howard and Tony Dibrell in the South Atlantic League’s WHIP standings, while his ERA (between Domingo Robles and Reid Anderson) put him in 8th place.
Denyi Reyes was the Red Sox farmhand with the most victories, but he was also second in ERA and second in strikeouts (151, six behind Kutter Crawford).
