[4][5] He attended Bishop Carroll High School in Calgary,[6] and was a goalie in youth hockey before deciding to concentrate on baseball.

[1] He pitched for the junior national team, coached by Chris Reitsma, a fellow Canadian baseball pitcher who was also his mentor.

[8] By his senior year, Soroka had committed to play college baseball for the University of California, Berkeley with scholarship.

[15][16] He began the 2018 season with the Gwinnett Stripers of the Triple-A International League,[17] posting a 1.99 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, 24 strikeouts, and five walks over four starts.

[28][29] During the first week of spring training, Soroka disclosed shoulder discomfort first felt during an offseason workout in January 2019.

[30][31] Soroka maintained that the newly reported discomfort was a right trapezius strain, not an issue with his right scapula, which affected him during his debut season.

[36][37] Soroka made his season debut against the Arizona Diamondbacks on April 18, 2019, and became the youngest pitcher in the National League upon taking the mound.

[39] That year, the Braves became the first team to send two players younger than 22 to the All-Star Game, as both Soroka and Ronald Acuña Jr. received that honor in 2019.

[49] In an interview with MLB Network, Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker stated that Soroka would miss the 2021 season.

[51] While walking back to the clubhouse on June 24, Soroka suffered a complete re-tear of his Achilles, effectively ending his season.

[57] On June 30, Soroka won his first game since September 19, 2019, giving up five hits with seven strikeouts thrown in six innings in a win against the Miami Marlins.

[59] On November 16, 2023, the Braves traded Soroka to the Chicago White Sox, along with Jared Shuster, Nicky Lopez, Braden Shewmake, and Riley Gowens for Aaron Bummer.

[60][61] On May 14, 2024, the White Sox moved Soroka to a bullpen role, assuming the vacated spot left by Brad Keller.
