Eisert made his professional debut in 2021, splitting the year between the Single–A Dunedin Blue Jays, High–A Vancouver Canadians, and Double–A New Hampshire Fisher Cats. In 32 relief outings split between the three affiliates, he accumulated a 6–1 record and 3.55 ERA with 82 strikeouts across 63+1⁄3 innings pitched.[3]
Eisert spent the 2022 campaign with the Triple–A Buffalo Bisons, making 45 appearances and recording a 3.41 ERA with 77 strikeouts across 60+2⁄3 innings of work.[4] He returned to Buffalo in 2023, posting a 4–3 record and 4.17 ERA with 76 strikeouts and 2 saves in 59 games.[5] Eisert began the 2024 season with Buffalo, and struggled to a 6.35 ERA across 19 contests.[6]
