Blue Jays Minor League Highlights Thread

[Terminator]

Keys hitting left-handed and being able to play 3B gives him a great floor to work with. If he can hit at all he's at least a viable bench piece for a contender.

I was expecting Sean Keys to be leading AA in wRC+ but he is surprisingly not. 

Franklin Arias might be a problem. 20 years old, destroying AA with godly contact rates. 

Several Jays farmhands are in the top 12 for all of the affiliated minor leagues, by qualified wRC+

Peyton Williams must be rehabbing? Cunningham and him need to be in AA tomorrow. Geezers. 

What got into Tucker Toman? Did something click last year for him and nobody noticed after 2+ years of futility? He had a 125 wRC+ from June 1st on, in 2025. 139 wRC+ from June 1 2025 to present. He is still not ancient, but on the edge of relevance for age vs. level as far as actual prospects go. AA bound as well?

There seems to be a bit of a clog when it comes to corner outfielder/first base types that have a decent shot of making the pros.

Keys, Tirotta, Micheletti, Pinango, Cunningham, Williams, Shreck all fit that to some degree or another and i'm probably missing some. 

Age wise Keys if he keeps this up at all, and makes the jump to triple A this year.. he might be the highest upside but i wouldn't be surprised if a lot of that list gets cups of coffee somewhere.

19 year old Johnny King is off to good start in Vancouver.

10.1 IP / 19 K's / 0.87 ERA / 1.16 WHIP

He's only given up 4 hits and 1 earned run so far.

8 walks which is high, but I looked at today's pitch tracker and the ump made some s***** ball calls on the first 2 of his 3 walks today. Both of them should have been rung up if the tracker is accurate.

You are correct on the Polar Bear Peyton WIlliams, the walking land mass is just coming back from injuries he sustained late last season in AA.

Watch some of his highlight reels, alot of of his Ks are guys swinging at fastballs up at the shoulders too. 

Not taking away from his stuff, which is legit, but there's still a lot of free swingers in High A.
