Jake Wong

Wong signed with the Giants and made his professional debut with the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes, compiling a 2.30 ERA over 11 starts. In 2019, he began the year with the Augusta GreenJackets with whom he went 2–1 with a 1.99 ERA over eight starts being promoted to the San Jose Giants in May.[13][14][15][16] Over 15 starts with San Jose, he pitched to a 3–2 record with a 4.98 ERA, striking out 67 over 72+1⁄3 innings.[17]

Wong did not play a minor league game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.[18] He missed the whole 2021 season after undergoing surgery.[19] He was assigned to the Eugene Emeralds of the High-A Northwest League for the 2022 season.[20] Over 25 games (17 starts), he went 6–5 with one save (his first in the minors) and a 4.52 ERA and 108 strikeouts over 97+2⁄3 innings.[21]

On December 13, 2022, the Giants traded Wong to the Cincinnati Reds to complete a trade made in the Rule 5 draft a few days prior.[22] To open the 2023 season, he was assigned to the Chattanooga Lookouts of the Double-A Southern League.[23] After 6 appearances, Wong was promoted to the Triple–A Louisville Bats, where he struggled to a 10.13 ERA across 11 appearances. On June 26, 2023, Wong was selected to the 40-man roster and promoted to the major leagues for the first time.[24] Wong made his major league debut that same day, pitching three innings and allowing three runs on six hits and three walks in a 10–3 loss against the Baltimore Orioles.[25] He was designated for assignment by Cincinnati the next day following the promotion of Alec Mills.[26] He cleared waivers and was sent outright to Louisville on July 1.[27]
