The pitcher from Kingston could end up in a game against the team he idolized as a child.
“It’s been an exciting year and now we’re just topping it off,” Sandra said in a phone interview on Thursday. “Matt feels good. We talked to him briefly today. He’s excited to be in the post-season, and what an incredible year.”
“We got to see a few — not as many as we’d like to. We’d like to go to every single game,” she said. “With games on the West Coast, it makes it kind of tricky.”“We were always going to Blue Jays games when Matt and Carlye were growing up,” Sandra said.The 24-year-old, six-foot-one, 173-pound right-hander pitched as both a starter and reliever in the 2022 season. He also spent some time in Triple-A working on his craft.
“Hopefully we’ll see Matt before the games, maybe. I don’t know, but definitely after the games. We have some friends and families coming, so it should be good to try and connect with people,” Sandra said. “It’s pretty awesome. I think it’s good for Canada, good for Ontario, good for Kingston and good for Matt,” Casford said. “Obviously he wants to play at home, but if you’re going to play anywhere else, it might as well be Toronto, where local people from your own city can come and see it.”
