1. 2B Orelvis Martinez | 23 | MLB | 2024Ā
Energy won’t ever be an issue for a 5ā11ā 200 pound Martinez, whose occasional swing-and-miss points should be considered within the context of taking part in largely towards older gamers. He was taking part in nicely in 2024 and compelled his manner into Torontoās lineup at second base simply earlier than getting suspended 80 video games for PEDs. He had hit 17 dwelling runs with a 23.8 % strikeout fee in 74 Triple-A video games, however projecting his future is a trickier process now beneath the PED cloud. I are inclined to keep away from these guys altogether, a method Iāve by no means regretted.Ā

2. SS Arjun Nimmala | 19 | A | 2028
The twentieth general decide in 2023, Nimmala is a 6ā1ā 170 lb proper handed hitter with huge energy and an enormous swing that tends to overlook in a trend thatās at instances harking back to Javy Baez. Scary sentence, that, however Baez had some monster years on the peak of his athleticism, and the Jays can be thrilled if Nimmala lands someplace close to that on the spectrum of his potential outcomes. In 82 Low-A video games towards largely older gamers, Nimmala hit 16 dwelling runs, stole 9 bases, and struck out 31.3 % of the time, slashing .232/.313/.476 with a 121 wRC+. I nearly ranked him first, however Martinez ought to get his probability to earn a job subsequent 12 months, so proximity received out ultimately.Ā

3. RHP Jake Bloss | 23 | MLB | 2024
A part of the Yusei Kikuchi haul together with Joey Loperfido and Will Wager, the 6ā3ā 233 lb Bloss is a thinker and a tinkerer, having constructed himself into four-pitch starter whoās three-quarter launch offers his fastball the trip it must succeed atop the strike zone. Itās the Houston manner, and so they clearly focused the graduate pupil in economics whereas he was thriving as Georgetownās ace. In addition they taught him the way to bury their trademark curveball, so heās acquired the 2 key Astro traits of warmth up, breaker down and out, and now heās leaning right into a sweeper together with the remainder of the league. Heās improved in a rush over the previous couple years, and thereās little cause to suspect thatāll cease taking place anytime quickly.Ā

4. OF Alan Roden | 25 | AAA | 2025
A 3rd-round decide in 2022 out of Creighton, Roden has mashed at each stage over the previous two seasons, peaking in 74-game stretch for Triple-A Buffalo that noticed him slash .314/.406/.510 with 9 dwelling runs, eight stolen bases, 41 strikeouts (14.3%), and 35 walks (12.2%). I do know Buffalo is form to hitters, particularly lefties, and that the 5ā11ā 215 lb Roden is tailored for that ball park, but it surelyās exhausting to pretend the type of contact and plate expertise heās placed on paper over the previous a number of seasons. The pitchers after him have greater upside, most likely, but it surelyās exhausting to think about a 2025 that doesnāt contain Roden getting a bunch of at bats for the Blue Jays. I nearly ranked him second.Ā
Ā
5. RHP Trey Yesavage | 21 | NCAA | 2026
Yesavage has an unimaginable baseball title, which might be why Toronto picked him twentieth general this 12 months out of East Carolina, the place he was an ace within the place thatās change into a pitching manufacturing unit over the previous few years (Gavin Williams, Carson Whisenhunt). At 6ā4ā 225 lbs, Yesavage has energy and stability all through his supply, which helps him command a four-pitch arsenal highlighted by a dynamic splitter that tunnels nicely together with his slider, fastball and curve.Ā Ā
Ā
6. LHP Ricky Tiedemann | 22 | AAA | 2025
A low three-quarters launch and blistering fastball make Tiedemann a tricky search for batters from both aspect of the plate. At 6ā4ā 220 lbs, he ought to be capable to maintain one thing like a starterās workload if he can ever keep wholesome, however that hasnāt been his lot on the whole, after which he had Tommy John surgical procedure in July. Thereās an opportunity that the exhausting reset and rebuild unlock a brand new stage of sustainability for Tiedemann, however youāre betting towards demonstrated actuality up to now when youāre paying for that upside.Ā
Ā
7. LHP Kendry Rojas | 22 | A+ | 2026
Heād been good all through his skilled profession, however 2024 was a breakout 12 months for the 6ā2ā 190 lb Rojas, who signed out of Cuba in 2020 and has added velocity and energy all through his time as Blue Jay. In 55.2 Excessive-A innings, Rojas registered a 2.43 ERA and 1.11 WHIP with 61 strikeouts and 12 walks. A 3-pitch look (fastball, slider, changeup) from the left-side is loss of life on lower-minors hitters, and he could be an excessive amount of for Double-A hitters early in 2025, which might speed up the timeline I’ve on him right here.Ā
Ā
8. 3B Charles McAdoo | 23 | AA | 2025
A thirteenth spherical select of San Jose State in 2023, McAdoo posted a 151 wRC+ in Low-A final 12 months and a 167 wRC+ in Excessive-A this 12 months, the place he stole 14 bases and blasted 9 dwelling runs in 60 video games. A powerful right-handed hitter at 6ā1ā 210 lbs, McAdoo has used the muscle nicely as a professional, shortening as much as lower the strikeouts whereas producing all-fields energy. Looks as if he was Discovered Cash for Pittsburgh, who shipped him to Toronto within the Isiah Kiner-Falefa commerce.Ā
Ā
9. OF Enmanuel Bonilla | 19 | CPX | 2029
A right-handed hitter at 6ā1ā 190 lbs, Bonilla signed for $4.1 million in 2023 and may pair nicely with Nimmala to offer highlights and hope for the subsequent era of Jaysā followers. And like Nimmala, Bonilla has a doubtlessly debilitating swing-and-miss challenge alongside his double-plus energy. He was overmatched in 53 video games on the advanced, slashing .186/.257/.299 with a 35.5 % strikeout fee. If he doesnāt make extra contact this 12 months, Iām most likely out.Ā Ā
Ā
10. OF Jace Bohrofen | 23 | A+ | 2027
A left-handed hitter at 6ā2ā 205 lbs, Bohrofen has been bashing for a pair years now with wood bats, first within the Cape Cod League after which in his professional debut in 2023, when he hit seven dwelling runs in simply 24 video games. He discovered the competitors somewhat more durable in Excessive-A this season however slashed .254/.364/.433 with 14 dwelling runs and ten steals in 112 video games, which could not leap off the web page however was 26 % higher than league common. Heās a tricky out, hanging out a serviceable 23.7 % whereas taking his walks and looking for pitches he can punish.Ā
Thanks for studying!Ā
