Twins Video
James Griffin Jax was born in Phoenix, Arizona and attended Cherry Creek High School in Colorado. He was drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies in 2013 but declined to sign and instead opted to go to the Air Force Academy. He was drafted again by the Minnesota Twins in the third round of the 2016 MLB Draft.
Jax made his major league debut on June 8, 2021. He was largely unsuccessful as a starting pitcher before transferring to the bullpen full time in 2022, where he broke out by posting a 3.36 ERA and 3.17 FIP on the season. Jax has continued to be a vital cog in the Twins late-inning bullpen since that time.
