Career

Heuer was born and raised Missoula, Montana, before moving to Fort Collins, Colorado before he began high school.[1] Following the move, he attended Fossil Ridge High School in Fort Collins.[2] In 2015, his senior year, he threw a complete game shutout in which he struck out 17 batters, a school record.[3] He went undrafted in the 2015 Major League Baseball draft, and thus enrolled at Wichita State University where he played college baseball for the Shockers.[4]

In 2016, his freshman season at Wichia State, he appeared in 21 games (making two starts) in which he went 1–1 with a 9.12 ERA in ​24 2⁄3 innings,[5] and as a sophomore in 2017, he pitched to a 2–2 record and 4.42 ERA in ​38 2⁄3 innings.[6] In 2018, his junior year, he was Wichita State's Friday night starter, going 6–5 with a 4.31 ERA over 16 games (15 starts).[7][8] After his junior year, he was selected by the Chicago White Sox in the sixth round of the 2018 Major League Baseball draft.[9]

Heuer signed with the White Sox and made his professional debut with the Great Falls Voyagers.[10] He made 14 starts, going 0–1 with a 4.74 ERA over 38 innings, helping the Voyagers win the Pioneer League crown.[11] In 2019, he moved to the bullpen, and began the year with the Winston-Salem Dash before being promoted to the Birmingham Barons in June.[12] Over 42 relief appearances between the two clubs, Heuer went 6–4 with a 2.39 ERA, striking out 65 over ​67 2⁄3 innings.[13]

On July 23, 2020, it was announced that Heuer had been named to the White Sox 2020 Opening Day roster.[14] He made his MLB debut the next night against the Minnesota Twins, striking out one and pitching a scoreless inning.[15][16]
