For Joyce and his angels -teammates he said a healthy amount of praise comes between training, the bullpen sessions and more that keeps him grounded.
“The guys I’ve shared a clubhouse with, they all feel the same way, and we’ve done things from Bible studies to have chapel every Sunday,” Joyce explained.

“I feel like it just makes the life we live so much easier because I don’t think I can go through this life without having this foundation. You can get caught by all the things in professional baseball and it really just brings you back to earth and reason me.”
The 24-year-old Flamethrower enjoys a good start to the 2025 season, his third with the angels, as he has 2.2 laps, which has been over three games where he has not allowed a deserved race.
As Joyce continues to make his mark on MLB, he continues to use his platform to share his faith as he encourages others to do the same.

“It’s amazing that people are more open about it, and at the end of the day God is great and all I do is praise him. If I can have any platform to spread it, that’s what I want to do.”
