Tice attended Prairie Grove High School in Prairie Grove, Arkansas and played college baseball at the University of Central Arkansas. He was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 17th round, with the 489th overall selection, of the 2017 Major League Baseball draft.[1][2][3] He made his professional debut in 2017 with the rookie ball Bluefield Blue Jays, recording a 1.05 ERA in 25.2 innings of work.

In 2018, Tice split the season between the Single-A Lansing Lugnuts and the High-A Dunedin Blue Jays, posting a 7-7 record and 2.29 ERA in 44 appearances between the teams. In 2019, he split the year between the Double-A New Hampshire Fisher Cats and the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons, pitching to a 3-4 record and 2.34 ERA on the year.[4] Tice did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[5]

On November 20, 2020, the Blue Jays added Tice to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.[6] On April 9, 2021, Tice was promoted to the major leagues for the first time.[7] He made his MLB debut that day against the Los Angeles Angels, throwing 2.0 shutout innings. Tice recorded a 5.14 ERA with 6 strikeouts across 4 games before being designated for assignment on May 30.[8]

On July 21, 2021, Tice was claimed off waivers by the Arizona Diamondbacks.[10] On August 5, Tice cleared waivers and was assigned outright to the Triple-A Reno Aces.[11] He was released on July 20, 2022.

Atlanta Braves (second stint)
