Created with the assistance of Toronto Blue Jays Hall of Famer Roberto Alomar, T12 showcases the best amateur baseball talent in Canada with college eligibility.
Soroka, a native of Calgary, Alta., was promoted by the Atlanta Braves from triple-A Gwinnett, where he went 2-0 with a 1.99 ERA in four starts this season.
The 20-year-old will make his MLB debut with a start Tuesday against the New York Mets.
