Eichhorn made his major league debut for the Blue Jays in 1982 but suffered a severe shoulder injury and did not return to the majors until 1986. The shoulder injury had robbed Eichhorn of most of his fastball velocity and had forced him to turn to an unconventional sidearm motion in which his arm angle was well below the belt when he released the ball. Eichhorn was notable for an exceptionally low velocity for a major league pitcher but his control and unusual delivery made him an effective player.\n', '

Eichhorn pitched for four different ballclubs during his career: the Toronto Blue Jays (1982, 1986–1988, 1992–1993), Atlanta Braves (1989), California Angels (1990–1992, 1996), and Baltimore Orioles (1994). Eichhorn appeared in his final game on September 14, 1996.\n', '

Eichhorn is currently the pitching coach for Aptos High School in Aptos, California.\n', '
