Jeremy Griffiths was a three-year letterwinner from 1997-99, earning first-team All-MAC and MAC “Pitcher of the Year” honors as a junior in 1999. In that season, Griffiths was dominating, compiling an 11-4 mark with a 2.50 ERA and a school-record 102 strikeouts. He set the Toledo record with 11 complete games in his 15 starts, racking up 97.2 innings and throwing three shutouts. Griffiths, whose 11 wins ranks second all-time at Toledo, helped the Rockets to a 39-20 record (23-9 MAC), the most wins in school history. Griffiths came onto the scene as a freshman in 1997, going 2-1 with four saves out of the bullpen with a team-best 3.56 ERA and 32 strikeouts in 30.1 innings pitched. As a sophomore, Griffiths moved into the starting rotation, going 5-3 and striking out 51 batters in 54.2 IP. He once again led the team with a 4.94 ERA. Griffiths left Toledo after his junior season and was drafted in the third round by the New York Mets. He pitched for the Mets in 2003 and the Houston Astros in 2004.
