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. 

[Eat My Shatkins]

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. 

[Laika]

This guy was an UDFA and he has great stuff. Mainly that fastball shape. This is an MLB reliever if he can throw strikes. They seem to be stretching him out, interestingly.

BA's Mock 2.0...

 

39. Blue Jays — Trevor Condon, OF, Etowah HS, Woodstock, Ga.

• Bonus Pool: $5,543,100
• Slot Value: $2,571,700

Every draft seems to have its undersized but speedy and contact-oriented high school center fielder. In 2025 it was Slater De Brun (37th), in 2024 it was Slade Caldwell (29th), in 2023 it was Kendall George (36th). This year it’s Condon, who fits in that phylum of player and should go in a similar range.

[Spanky__99]

The added kick to the nuts for losing in the WS is having the 2nd lowest Bonus Pool money... YAY!!! 🖕

Younger brother of Charlie Condon.

[Spanky__99]

Here's his scouting report, currently ranked 19th in this year's coming draft...

School: Etowah HS, Woodstock, Ga. Committed: Tennessee. Age At Draft: 18.5

Condon is an athletic center fielder with a hair-on-fire playstyle and a unique swing that looks like it’s from another era. He starts his swing with his hands set up above his back shoulder, drops them down to his belt with his barrel tilted slightly toward the catcher and pauses there before snapping his barrel through the zone. It’s an unconventional look, but it’s worked for him. He was a consistent performer throughout the 2025 circuit and makes plenty of contact, with the bat speed and timing to turn around 90+ mph velocity and a decent sense of the strike zone. Condon is at least a 70-grade runner who consistently busts it out of the box and will regularly turn in 80-grade run times simply because of his effort and quick first step. That speed should allow him to stick in center and potentially be an impact defender. He’s committed to Tennessee but fits as a similar talent to players like Slade Caldwell, Slater de Brun and Dillon Head in recent drafts and might not make it to campus because of that.

Yeah - this sucks as the 2026 MLB Draft class is shaping up to be one of the better in recent memory and, potentially, the best class in the last decade (per the experts).

Yeah, and they've been saying it for awhile, I traded a lot of my picks from last years draft to this year for that very reason in my fantasy leagues. 

[Laika]

Holy s***. Another one.

The Jays are absolutely cooking on the farm and legit arms are coming out of every nook and cranny

Nimmala with another homer. He's putting together a really nice season so far, with his OPS up in the 9s as well. Walk rate up a bit, k rate pretty acceptable.

I say get him up to New Hampshire ASAP.   His confidence is high right now so good time to get up to a new level.

Anorher 20 games and it will be a full season worth of PAs (roughly) at high-a. That should be enough to gauge if hes ready to make the jump.

That said, the Jays (like every other team)have their checklist of things a guy needs to tick before he moves up. We'll see if that list gets completed soon or not.

[Laika]

Not sure I have ever seen a collection of emerging arms like Toronto has right now. 

Yes it's early and they could flop or get hurt but... 

• Johnny King has a 44.2% K rate in A+ at 19 
• Gage Stanifer is rounding into MLB ready form and has a 31.3% K rate in AA at 22
• Nolan Perry has a 38.7% K-BB in A ball and the stuff is popping
• Daniel Guerra has 24.1 innings and a 22.1% K-BB, near the top of the affiliated MiLB leaderboards if you look for guys who have been "normal starters" so far . He has looked fantastic. 
• Danny Thompson Jr. was an 8th rounder last year and he has a 33.9% K-BB in A ball 
• Dylan Watts has a 21.8% K-BB in A ball and a plus (or better) changeup to go with a plus FB
• Landen Maroudis is alive 
• Chad Dallas is looking like a potential swing-man again in AAA
• Troy Guthrie is a name. I haven't seen stuff numbers but his breaking ball(s) are being described as nasty. He's up to 93 so needs to add a bit of velo, but this was an 11th rounder. 
• Reece Wissinger is a UDFA with a 110 Stuff+ fastball with 20 IVB. Just promoted to Vancouver. Relief prospect. 

You also have Tiedemann and Bloss around. 

 

[JaysFan99]

Looks promising. Maybe we're finally getting the "waves of talent" the front office promised us.

Nolan Perry has been positively killing it this season. TJStats shows him to have a very deep arsenal and he's taken a massive leap forward compared to a few seasons prior.

Left elbow soreness in ST. MRI was clean. They shut him down as a precaution and he was cleared to start throwing recently. 

So... rehabbing at the facility, likely some complex league games when they start up as he ramps up his pitch count and works his way back to his next injury in Buffalo in mid to late June

Apparently he's clear and is throwing off a mound. Should see him in Buffalo soon, unless he just gets hurt again. 

Had a sore elbow in spring.

At this point you just have to hope that he can stay healthy enough to pitch full seasons out of the bullpen. He could be an Aaron Ashby type weapon, another former top lefty prospect with monster stuff who had trouble staying healthy. Ashby pretty frequently pitches 1+ innings, I'd probably check that Ricky T can even pitch 50 1 IP stints before testing that though.

And even further down the ladder...Barriera has been healthy for like 20 minutes now. He's gotta be a pure reliever at this point also

Barriera I'm not as concerned because he didn't quite show the level of tantalizing talent + performance as Ricky T did. If they want him to sink or swim as a starter and have to dump/make him available in the rule 5 if it doesn't work, that's fine with me. Ricky T in theory could be a contributor already, assuming the stuff and command hasn't backed up completely following years of injuries. Barriera is still very much a work in progress to even get back to "potential contributor" status.
