Connor John Van Scoyoc (born November 26, 1999) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Colorado Rockies organization.

Career

Van Scoyoc attended Jefferson High School in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The Los Angeles Angels selected Van Scoyoc in the 11th round of the 2018 MLB draft and Van Scoyoc signed with the Angels for a $397,500 signing bonus, rather than follow through with his commitment to play college baseball for Arizona State University.[1] He underwent Tommy John surgery in 2019 and then did not play in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]
