Tolhurst made his professional debut in 2022 with the rookie-level Florida Complex League Blue Jays and the Single-A Dunedin Blue Jays. In 2023, he was with the High-A Vancouver Canadians and the following season, he moved up to the Double-A New Hampshire Fisher Cats. By 2025, Tolhurst played with the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons before being released by the Blue Jays on August 3, 2025. During his time in the Blue Jays organization, he postsed a 4.38 ERA and 92 appearances, including 21 starts with a 15-10 record.[4]
