New Additions to the Jays Centre Top 20 Prospects List

The minor league seasons have wrapped up for Single A and High A, and the August update of Jays Centre's prospect rankings is finished, so it's a great time to take a look at the new additions to the Top 20. It has been a wild ride for the Toronto Blue Jays this year, and some of these names could make a big impact in future seasons. 

10. Juan Sanchez, SS, 17, DSL Blue Jays
The biggest riser on the rankings from August might be the most impactful down the line for the Toronto Blue Jays. Juan Sanchez was signed by the Blue Jays this past January out of the Dominican Republic, and he just put up one of the most impressive stat lines ever for a DSL Blue Jays player.

• 56 G
• .341/.439/.565
• 1.004 OPS
• 8 HR
• 4 3B
• 16 2B
• 10% BB%
• 17.7% K%
• 156 wRC+

Sanchez has a very good base and a great projectable frame, as he is already listed at 6-foot-3 and 180 pounds. He has quick hands and big raw power that have already been showing up in games. His eight home runs in the DSL really stand out.

Expect him to come stateside next year, and depending on how he looks in the spring, he could see a bump all the way to Single A at some point. He has some of the highest potential as a hitter in the Toronto Blue Jays system, and only striking out 17.7% of the time as a 17-year-old could be a big key to Sanchez rising fast through the minor leagues.

18. Tim Piasentin, 3B, 18, FCL Blue Jays
Here's another young prospect making his debut on the ranking this go around, and he is a teenager as well: Tim Piasentin.

Piasentin was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the fifth round of this summer's MLB draft, 143rd overall. He is another prospect with a great frame and huge power potential, and he could have a good hit tool. He is listed already at 6-foot-3 and 200 pounds. He uses very quick hands and his powerful build to explode through the baseball from the left side of the plate. He already looks like he can lift the ball well and has reportedly reached up to 110 mph in max. exit velocity (Baseball America).

Out of all of the Blue Jays' draft picks from 2025, expect Piasentin to potentially have the highest ceiling. This is a legit high-impact bat at third base. 

Look for Piasentin to begin next year in the FCL or potentially at Single-A Dunedin. The Blue Jays signed him for an overslot amount, so he should be one of the players who receives an aggressive assignment depending on how his offseason and spring training go.

20. Blaine Bullard, OF, 19, FCL Blue Jays
Blaine Bullard is another Toronto Blue Jays draft pick from this past July. He was taken in the 12th round, 352nd overall. The Blue Jays thought very highly of him and gave the 6-foot-2, 180-pound outfielder the largest signing bonus ever for a 12th-round draft pick: $1.697 million.

Bullard has more tools than anyone from this year's Blue Jays draft class, as he can do it all. He has some decent power potential from both sides of the plate as a switch-hitter, is very contact-oriented (a Blue Jays focus), has some top-end speed, and likely will be an above-average outfielder. This could be the future leadoff hitter for the Blue Jays if everything works out as he moves up the minor league ladder.

Expect Bullard to start 2026 in the FCL or potentially at Single-A Dunedin. His development could be key for a rising Blue Jays farm system because he might be the outfield prospect the system has been lacking for a while now: a five-tool uber prospect that succeeds up to the major leagues.
