To the surprise of no one, you will find Nate Pearson atop very Toronto Blue Jays top prospect list you can google. To be honest, even if Bo Bichette had not graduated to the minors, I had Pearson pencilled in as our top prospect by mid-July, such has been his body of work and upside. … Continue reading Toronto Blue Jays Top 10 Prospects: #1 Nate Pearson
After finishing with the fifth worst record in baseball, the Blue Jays will be “rewarded” with the fifth overall pick. I was optimistic they’d finish in the bottom-3 and get their choice of the ever-so-loaded prep outfielding group. Instead, they’ll have to settle with some backup plans. Luckily, this class is deep and whoever they … Continue reading Blue Jays 2020 First Round Pick: An Early Look at Some Candidates
When you're talking about top ten prospects, you're talking about players who have a chance to become MLB regulars, maybe even stars. But there are no guarantees. Jordan Groshans is about as close to one as you're going to get, though. A foot injury limited him to only 23 Midwest League games this year, but … Continue reading Toronto Blue Jays Top 10 Prospects: #2 Jordan Groshans
Believe me folks. I've been mulling this one over for a while. As far as the Blue Jays 3rd, 4th, and 5th ranked prospects are concerned, Alek Manoah, Adam Kloffenstein, and Simeon Woods Richardson would fit the bill. But not necessarily in that order. And that's the reason for my extended musing. All have tremendous … Continue reading Toronto Blue Jays Top 10 Prospects: 3/4/5
Leaders for selected stats in the Blue Jays system (qualifiers only):
Coming in at number 13 is Griffin Conine, a second-round pick in 2018 out of Duke. Griffin is also a son of a former big leaguer - Jeff Conine. Griffin was suspended for 50 games the following season and responded to it with a massive season in Lansing. He was our Minor leaguer of the … Continue reading Toronto Blue Jays Top 25 Under 25: #13 Griffin Conine
by Mason McRae Coming in at number 14 on the list is Sean Reid-Foley. Once a second-round draft pick out of high school, Reid-Foley has slowly worked his way up into a fringe MLB role. His stuff plays into a bottom-of-the-rotation profile, but his command has been his biggest concern with a 15.7 BB% in … Continue reading Toronto Blue Jays Top 25 Under 25: #14 Sean Reid-Foley
It's pretty heady when scouts are comparing you to a Hall of Famer. Orelvis Martinez, signed to the second highest bonus in last year's IFA class, was compared to Adrian Beltre prior to inking a contract with the Blue Jays. Now, that's a pretty tough comp to live up to, but after skipping the … Continue reading Toronto Blue Jays Top 10 Prospects: #6 Orelvis Martinez
After breaking the bank on Vladimir Guerrero Jr in 2015, the Blue Jays were limited in the IFA game the following year. The penalty they incurred for going over their bonus pool was a $300K bonus limit to any one player in 2016, which resulted in some bargain hunting. Francisco Plasencia, a Toronto scout based … Continue reading Toronto Blue Jays Top 10 Prospects: #7 Gabriel Moreno
