Jan 21, 2021 · Below is an analysis of the prospects in the farm system of the Toronto Blue Jays. Scouting reports were compiled with information provided by industry sources as well as my own observations. As there was no minor league season in 2020, there are some instances where no new information was gleaned about a player.
- Tier 1
- Tier 2
- Tier 3
- Tier 4
- Tier 5
1. Austin Martin, SS/OF (’20 rank N/A) Age: 21 Highest Level: College Martin was selected fifth overall in the 2020 draft. Many industry pre-draft mocks had him going 1st or 2nd overall and when he unexpectedly fell to the Blue Jays at pick 5 they had the steal of the draft. A mature hitter with excellent pitch recognition he was considered the best pure hitter in the draft. He was drafted as a shortstop but he played mostly 3B and CF at Vanderbilt where he had a career slashline of .368/.474/.532. 2. Nate Pearson, RHP (’20 rank #1) Age: 24 Highest Level: MLB Pearson is an elite pitching prospect who will be a future top of the rotation starter. He debuted in Toronto last season making 4 starts before spending a month on the disabled list. The results were mixed as he finished with a 6.00 ERA with 16K in 18IP. There were however flashes of brilliance with his fastball at times reaching 100-102 along with an above-average slider and curve. In his one post-season appearance he was gre...
3. Jordan Groshans, 3B/SS (’20 rank #2) Age: 21 Highest Level: A Drafted in the first round of the 2018 draft, Groshans projects as a .300/30 HR hitter with all-star potential. He got into only 23 games at Low-A Lansing in 2019 before spending most of the season on the disabled list with a foot injury. Working this past summer at the alternate site should have him prepared to make the jump to AA in 2021. 4. Simeon Woods Richardson, RHP (’20 rank #3) Age: 20 Highest Level: A+ We have only seen Woods Richardson make 6 starts at High-A Dunedin since being acquired in 2019 from NY Mets. Reports out of the alternate site said he looked very impressive. He has multiple pitches and an advanced feel for pitching. He should start 2021 at AA and may be big-league ready very soon. 5. Orelvis Martinez, SS (’20 rank #4) Age: 19 Highest Level: Rookie Martinez was given the 2nd highest bonus of $3.5M as one of the top bats in the 2018 J2 class. As one of only a few 17 year-olds in the GCL he was i...
8. Miguel Hiraldo, 2B/SS (’20 rank #11) Age: 20 Highest Level: A After two solid seasons in the DSL and the rookie levels Hiraldo is poised for a breakout season. He has a high-upside bat with the potential to hit for power. He was not brought to the alternate site roster. He spent the summer training in the D.R. before joining the instructional camp at Dunedin in the fall. Look for him to start at any one of the infield positions in A ball in 2021. 9. Adam Kloffenstein, RHP (’20 rank #8) Age: 20 Highest Level: A- Kloffenstein was selected in the 3rd round of the 2018 draft. After a strong debut in 2019 at Vancouver he was left off the alternate site roster. He chose to spend the summer playing Independent ball in Texas. As a 19 year old in a league full of experienced MLB and AAA players he was 8 yrs younger than the league average age. He faired well pitching in 27 games striking out 60 in 64.1 IP with a 4.91 ERA. Great experience for him that will surely be beneficial long-term....
13. Otto Lopez, SS/2B (’20 rank #24) Age: 22 Highest Level: A Lopez was a bit of a surprise addition to the 40 man roster prior to the Rule 5 draft in November but he does have significant upside. The last time we saw him he was the Midwest batting champion in 2019. Defensive versatility is a plus, he has played all over the infield and all three outfield positions during his three minor league seasons. He could have a future as a very good utility player in the majors. Playing in the Dominican Winter League this off-season he had a slashline of .254/.333/.332 in 18 games. 14. Dasan Brown, OF (’20 rank #17) Age: 19 Highest Level: Rookie Brown was selected in the third round of the 2019 draft. With no minor league games in 2020 Brown spent the summer working out at home in Toronto with fellow Canadian Daniel Calabrese, an LA Angels prospect. Brown is a project who is a long way off but he might be the best center-fielder in the system. 15. Estiven Machado, 2B (’20 unranked) Age: 18 H...
40. Samad Taylor, 2B (’20 rank #28) Age. 22 Highest Level: A+ Taylor was acquired from Cleveland in 2017. A middle infielder in a system deep with shortstops he needs to make his mark soon. He did not have a particularly good season in 2019 hitting only .217 and striking out far too much. He was sent to Australia this winter along with Chavez Young to get some much needed AB’s after no season in 2020. Small sample size but currently in 10 he is slashing .243/.300/.297 down under. 41. Justin Maese, RHP (‘20 rank #44) Age: 24 Highest Level: A Maese has pitched only 3 innings since 2017 due to injuries. The former 3rd round selection from the 2015 draft was part of the fall development camp at Dunedin and appeared healthy and ready to return to the form that once had him ranked in the top 10 on Blue Jays top prospect lists. 42. Maximo Castillo, RHP (’20 rank #43) Age: 21 Highest Level: A+ The last time we saw Castillo he was outstanding at High-A Dunedin going 11-5 with a 3.18 ERA in 2...

Mar 27, 2021 · For some Blue Jays prospects, 2021 is their first official major league spring training. Let’s take a look at some stand outs: Hot – Alek Manoah. The 23 year old RHP was Toronto’s first round draft pick in 2019. He caught the attention of many Jays fans with his dominant performance to date.
Sep 24, 2020 · The Rays hold a 6-4 advantage in the season series this season, but the Blue Jays have outscored them, 48-44, largely due to a 12-4 win back in mid-August. Two of the Blue Jays’ losses came via walk-offs, so their extra-innings strategy could be particularly important in the Wild Card Series.
Jul 07, 2021 · The Toronto Blue Jays currently sit 4 games back of the AL Wild Card race and 9 games back of the division leading Red Sox. On paper, there is a lot of ground to make up, but in reality, this Blue Jays team is young and talented and perfectly capable of making some noise.
