Buffalo Bisons Buffalo (5), Worcester (3) - 8/9 Box Score Buffalo was in control of this game despite it being close. They managed to get to Worcester for 13 hits on the day and RJ Schreck started off the scoring with a two-run homer in the third inning. Worcester answered with a Nick Sogard RBI double and a Nathan Hickey homer to tie the game. Schreck put Buffalo back on top in the seventh with an RBI single. A wild pitch let Worcester tie the game, but Yohendrick Pinango broke things open for good with a two-run RBI single in the ninth. Buffalo won this one 5-3. RJ Schreck - 2-5, 1 R, 3 RBI, 0 BB, 1 K, HR Shane Bieber - 5.2 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 1 BB, 6 K Buffalo (6), Worcester (3) - 8/10 Box Score In the final game of the series between Buffalo and Worcester, the Bisons faced off against Payton Tolle in his Triple-A debut. The Bisons hit the ground running in this one, as they loaded the bases in the top of the first. Riley Tirotta quickly cleared them when he launched a grand slam home run. Buffalo wasn't done, as two batters later, Orelvis Martinez smashed his 13th home run of the season, a two-run shot to put Buffalo up six. Kristian Campbell added a two-run homer for Worcester, and Nick Sogard tacked on an RBI single, but Buffalo would win this one 6-3. Riley Tirotta - 2-4, 1 R, 4 RBI, 0 BB, 2 K, 1 HR Lazaro Estrada - 5 IP, 5 H, 3 ER, 2 BB, 5 K New Hampshire Fisher Cats New Hampshire (1), Reading (16) - 8/9 Box Score Saturday's game between Reading and New Hampshire was a bullpen day for the Fisher Cats. They sent Alex Amalfi to the mound against Charles King for the Fightin Phils. The day started off badly for New Hampshire, and it got progressively worse as the game wore on. In the top of the first inning, Felix Reyes got Reading on the scoreboard with an RBI single to left field, scoring Aidan Miller. Je'Von Ward got the run back in the bottom half of the inning, his RBI single scored Jackson Hornung. From there, it was all Reading all the time. In the top of the second, they scored two on an RBI single and a sacrifice fly. The game was broken open in a big way in the fourth, with three RBI singles by Reading's Bryson Ware, Miller, and Carson DeMartini. Nick Dunn contributed to the Fightin Phils’ lead with a two-run home run in the seventh, but they weren't done. Back-to-back RBI doubles in the eighth brought home two more, and then an RBI single made it a 12-1 lead. Four more runs in the top of the ninth capped off a crazy 16-1 beatdown of New Hampshire by Reading. Jackson Hornung: 2-4, 1 R, 1 SB Pat Gallagher: 2.2 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 0 BB, 2 K New Hampshire (1), Reading (2) - 8/10 Box Score After a brutal loss on Saturday, New Hampshire had Grant Rogers on the mound to right the ship and see if he could continue to rack up quality starts. Aidan Miller was again the thorn in New Hampshire's back, doubling to lead off the game, moving to third on a passed ball, and then scoring on a sacrifice fly. It was all Rogers the rest of the way, as he would not allow a runner to get to second base for the next five innings. He wound up getting another quality start, going six innings, only giving up four hits and one lone run, walking two and striking out two. As for the bats, they were non-existent from start to finish. Reading kept the New Hampshire hitting from doing anything at all; they would head into the ninth inning while still being no-hit. Fortunately for New Hampshire, Charles McAdoo came through in a big way, smacking a line drive double to center to tie the game up at one and send it to extra innings. Unfortunately, Reading's Erick Brito doubled home a run, and New Hampshire grounded into a double play to end the game, losing 2-1. Charles McAdoo: 1-4, 1 RBI, 1 2B, 1 SB Grant Rogers: 6 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 2 K Vancouver Canadians Vancouver (2), Hillsboro (1) - 8/9 Box Score Fernando Perez just continues to dominate High A, this time with a stellar seven-inning outing where he struck out eight batters. He still has not walked anyone. The Canadians didn’t have to do much offensively to take advantage of that start, as Edward Duran was able to get the first run on the board with an RBI single to score Carter Cunningham. Perez’s lone blemish was a run scored on a double play, but in the bottom of the eighth, Cunningham reached on a fielding error with two outs on an 0-2 count, which resulted in Jay Harry scoring and winning the game for the Canadians eventually. Eddie Micheletti Jr. - 1-3, 1 BB Fernando Perez - 7 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 8 K The young Nicaraguan righty has dominated High A, showing some real strikeout stuff after not being able to strike out much to start the season. He’s now earned a promotion to Double-A New Hampshire due to his most recent performances. Vancouver (5), Hillsboro (7) - 8/10 Box Score The Canadians had a very strong start, with Arjun Nimmala giving them an early lead with a three-run homer in the third, and Chris McElvain pitched five innings of shutout ball, which put them in a great spot. Unfortunately, Colby Holcombe’s struggles continued, as he was only able to get two outs and allowed five runs to balloon his ERA to 15.88 in Vancouver. Johan Simon came in and got an out, but also allowed two runs to score in the seventh as well. The Canadians had one more chance in the bottom of the seventh, as Nimmala was up to the plate with the bases loaded after Dawson Brown had lost their command, resulting in walks and a wild pitch that scored a run. Unfortunately, Nimmala was only able to muster up a sac fly, as the scoring opportunities disappeared after that. Arjun Nimmala - 1-3, 1 R, 4 RBI, 1 HR Nimmala had been on a homer drought since hitting homer number 12, and he’s finally hit number 13. The 2023 first-rounder has slowed down quite a bit since his hot start, and hopefully this homer marks the end of that slump. Chris McElvain - 5 IP, 4 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 4 K Dunedin Blue Jays Dunedin (3), Palm Beach (2) - 8/9 Box Score The weather continues to be an issue for the D-Jays, as once again they had to deal with delays caused by rain. Johnny King was able to pitch two innings of two-run ball, and he struck out four batters despite giving up two homers. King was taken out after the weather delay, and Juanmi Vasquez had another stellar outing, going four scoreless with seven strikeouts. The D-Jays rallied back in the bottom of the seventh; this was the first game of a doubleheader, as the game was postponed to the next day. Maddox Latta drove in the first run with a groundout to score Eric Snow, and then Matt Scannell evened it up with an RBI double. Josh Kasevich did what he does best with a single to right field to knock in Latta for a walk-off win. Josh Kasevich - 2-4, 1 RBI Juanmi Vasquez - 4 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 7 K Vasquez had a slow start to the season but has been red-hot over his past few games. In his last four appearances, he’s struck out 23 batters in only 12 innings of work. This earned him a promotion up to Vancouver, along with fellow D-Jays Austin Cates and Silvano Hechavarria. Dunedin (), Palm Beach () - 8/9 - Continuation of 8/8 game Cancelled Dunedin (0), Palm Beach (4) - 8/10 Box Score The D-Jays got three-hit in the second game of the doubleheader, as the team apparently used all their offense up in the seventh inning earlier in the day. Hechavarria was inefficient, with 69 pitches in under three innings, which resulted in the bullpen coming in after he gave up a run. Nate LaRue and Danny Thompson Jr. kept it within one, but Carson Myers then gave up a run on a single that went off his glove, and Jack Eshleman struggled, giving up five hits and allowing two more runs for a disappointing 4-0 shutout loss. Maddox Latta - 1-2, 1 BB Silvano Hecavarria - 2.2 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 6 K DSL Blue Jays Blue D-BJB (7), D-CUR (1) F/7- 8/9 Box Score Against CUR on Saturday, BJB rode the wave of two big innings to a victory. In the first, they got one run on a sacrifice fly from Franklin Rojas. It was in the fifth that they broke the game open, with a sacrifice fly from Juarlin Soto and a two-run double from Carlos Garcia. In the seventh, they added three more runs to their big lead. Fabian Gonzalez singled home Soto, Esmeiquel Arrieche's RBI single would get Cristopher Polanco across home plate, and Darwin Núñez's groundout scored another run. Michael De La Cruz was solid on the mound for BJB, giving up just one hit in four innings, striking out four and not allowing a run to score. Fabian Gonzalez: 2-4, 1 R, 1 RBI Michael De La Cruz: 4 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 3 BB, 4 K D-BJB (4), D-PHR (10) - 8/11 Box Score It was a rough day on the mound for BJB, as they surrendered 10 runs, on 10 hits, and seven walks. Angel Guzman had himself a day at the plate, with three doubles and three runs scored, but it would be nowhere near enough to make up for that bad pitching. Some of the highlights of their scoring were Juarlin Soto's RBI double in the bottom of the sixth and Fabian Gonzalez's RBI single that scored Guzman in the eighth. It was a rough day for BJB as they fell 10-4. Angel Guzman: 3-5, 3 R, 3 2B Cristhian Duarte: 5 IP, 6 H, 3 ER, 2 BB, 6 K DSL Blue Jays Red D-BJR (4), D-ARR (2) - F/7 - 8/9 Box Score Blue Jays Red took on the Arizona Red team on Saturday. There were not a lot of hits to be had, but both teams made them count. ARR took the lead in the first on an Adriel Radney RBI single and Victor Santana's sacrifice fly. In the fifth, Elaineiker Coronado drove in a run with an RBI single, and a wild pitch allowed Juan Sanchez to score to tie the game. That is where the game sat in the bottom of the seventh when Sanchez came back up to the plate. Continuing one of the best DSL seasons this year, he launched a ball over the wall for a walk-off, two-run home run. Juan Sanchez- 1-3, 2 R, 2 RBI, 0 BB, 0 K, 1 HR Edgar Gallegos- 5 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 1 BB, 3 K D-BJR (12), D-RNB (3) - 8/11 Box Score The Monday game on the island between the Blue Jays Red team and the Rangers Blue team was lopsided from the start. BJR collected 18 hits to seven walks and 12 runs. Juan Sanchez, Elaineiker Coronado, Pascual Archila, Kennew Blanco, and Randy Soto all had three hits apiece, including one double each. BJR won this one easily, 12-3 Elaineiker Coronado - 3-4, 3 R, 1 RBI, 2 BB, 1 K, 1 2B Luis Fonsesca - 4 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 6 K Toronto Blue Jays Minor League Players of the Period Pitcher of the Period: RHP Fernando Perez (Vancouver) - 7 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 8 K Hitter of the Period: SS Juan Sanchez (DSL Blue Jays Red)- 4-9, 4 R, 2 RBI, 0 BB, 1 K, 1 HR, 1 2B, 1 SB Prospect Summary (Last 3 Days) Will return later this week.

Buffalo Bisons Buffalo (4), Syracuse (5) - 8/2 Box Score Syracuse jumped out in front of Buffalo in this game right from the start. Joey Meneses hit a soft single to right field, bringing in a run in the top of the first. Jared Young added a solo blast for the Mets in the third inning. In the fourth, Buffalo evened things up at two on a Yohendrick Pinango RBI single and a Damiano Palmegiani double driving in Buddy Kennedy. Things went south again in the sixth for Buffalo, as they surrendered two home runs. Hayden Senger homered to left field for two runs, and Luis De Los Santos hit a solo blast to center field. Buffalo rallied in the eighth with men on base, as Pinango hit a rocket double to bring in RJ Schreck and Kennedy to cut the deficit to one. That would be where the game would end though, as the Bisons went on to lose 5-4. Yohendrick Pinango - 3-4, 0 R, 3 RBI, 0 BB, 0 K, 1 2B Hayden Juenger - 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K Buffalo (3), Syracuse (4) - 8/3 Box Score In the Sunday matchup between Buffalo and Syracuse, fans had a treat, as Shane Bieber was on the mound. He was looking much like his normal self, continuing to rehab in Triple A. He was sitting around 92 and 93 mph on his fastball. On the day, he went five innings, allowed two runs, gave up one walk, and struck out six batters. Luke Ritter had the big hit off of Bieber, a solo home run to right field to put the Mets up by two. In the top of the sixth, Syracuse added two more on an RBI single from Yonny Hernández. In the seventh and ninth innings, Buffalo finally scored when Pinango singled in Michael Stefanic and Schreck hit a two-run home run, also scoring Stefanic. Buffalo would lose this game in a close battle again, 4-3. RJ Schreck - 1-4, 1 R, 1 RBI, 0 BB, 1 K, 1 HR Shane Bieber - 5 IP, 5 H, 2 ER, 1 BB, 6 K New Hampshire Fisher Cats New Hampshire (5), Chesapeake (4) F/8 - 8/2 - Game 1 Box Score New Hampshire opened their weekend set of games with a doubleheader against Chesapeake on Saturday. The Fisher Cats started the scoring in the top of the fourth inning, when Charles McAdoo singled home Victor Arias. Chesapeake took the lead in the bottom of the fifth with RBI singles from Aron Estrada and Brandon Butterworth. With New Hampshire still down one headed into the final inning of the doubleheader shortened game, the Fisher Cats were on the ropes, but up for the task. Gabriel Martinez smacked a ball to right for a ground-rule double, Alex De Jesus walked, and then Dasan Brown (pinch runner) and De Jesus stole second and third base. Alex Stone didn't let the opportunity go to waste, as he knocked a single to center, scoring the two and giving New Hampshire a one-run lead as the game moved to the bottom of the seventh. Estrada and Butterworth wouldn't let Chesapeake go down without a fight, and both again had big hits. Estrada tripled and Butterworth doubled him home to tie the game up and send it to extra innings. In the top of the eighth, McAdoo made sure to give New Hampshire some breathing room, launching his 11th home run of the season, a two-run shot to left field. Conor Larkin came into the game in the bottom of the eighth and shut the door on another rally by Chesapeake, giving New Hampshire the 5-4 win. Charles McAdoo: 2-3, 1 R, 3 RBI, 1 BB, 1 HR Rafael Sanchez: 3 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 K New Hampshire (6), Chesapeake (0) - 8/2 - Game 2 Box Score In game two of the doubleheader, New Hampshire went with a bullpen game, and it was executed to near perfection. The Fisher Cats were the first on the scoreboard in the second inning, after a double from Je'Von Ward and an RBI single by De Jesus. In the top of the third, Ryan McCarty hit an RBI single before McAdoo continued his hot doubleheader and swatted his second home run of the day and 12th of the season, a two-run blast. New Hampshire would add two more runs, one in the sixth and one in the seventh. Brown grounded out, scoring Eddinson Paulino in the sixth, and McCarty scored on an error in the seventh. On the mound, Alex Amalfi, Michael Dominguez, and Hunter Gregory combined to go seven innings, striking out 10 and not allowing a run, leading New Hampshire to a 6-0 victory. Charles McAdoo: 1-4, 1 R, 2 RBI, 1 HR Alex Amalfi: 4 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 4 K New Hampshire (9), Chesapeake (4) - 8/3 Box Score New Hampshire faced an extremely familiar face on the mound Sunday afternoon against Chesapeake, none other than the recently traded Juaron Watts-Brown. Arias gave Watts-Brown a big welcome when he led off the game with a solo home run to center, his first with the Fisher Cats. Frederick Bencosme tied the game up at one in the bottom of the second inning on a little league inside the park home run, aided by a fielding error on the center fielder, Brown. Ward gave New Hampshire the lead back with a two-run little league inside the park home run of his own, aided by an error on Chesapeake's center fielder. In the fourth, New Hampshire added three more runs on Alex Stone's RBI single and Arias’ second home run of the game off of Watts-Brown, a two-run shot. In the bottom half of the inning, Butterworth then homered to cut the Fisher Cats’ lead down to four. De Jesus broke the game open for New Hampshire in the fifth, driving in two on his single to left. Arias then capped off his big day with an RBI ground out, as the Fisher Cats cruised to a 9-4 win and ruined Watts-Brown's homecoming. Victor Arias: 2-5, 2 R, 4 RBI, 2 K, 2 HR Ryan Watson: 5.2 IP, 6 H, 3 ER, 2 BB, 4 K Vancouver Canadians Vancouver (4), Tri-City (1) - 8/2 Box Score The Canadians continue to face off against the Dust Devils, and Gage Stanifer once again takes the bump. The Canadians got on the board first despite a Sean Keys double play, as Eddie Micheletti Jr. was able to score despite two outs coming on the board. In the bottom of the fourth, the Dust Devils got a run off Stanifer with a sac fly, but Arjun Nimmala had a big double in the fifth inning to score Bryce Arnold and Cutter Coffey, although Micheletti got thrown out at home. Carter Cunningham hit a single to score Nimmala, and the bullpens locked it down for both teams after that, with Colby Holcombe getting his first win, Irv Carter earning a three-inning hold, and Jonathan Todd striking out the side for the save. Arjun Nimmala - 3-4, 1 R, 2 RBI, 2 2B After Nimmala’s hot start to the season, he really came back to earth in most of July. However, he’s been swinging a hot bat to end July and go into August, re-finding his form in a major way. Gage Stanifer - 4 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 4 BB, 4 K Stanifer raised his season strikeout total to 115 after this start. The walks are showing again in High A, but as he passed his career high in innings pitched, it was bound to happen. It's still an excellent breakout campaign for the 21-year-old. Vancouver (2), Tri-City (0) - 8/3 Box Score This was a day for pitching for the Canadians. Micheletti hit a two-RBI double for the lead in the third inning, and then the pitchers showed their stuff. Fernando Perez was already one of the best pitchers in July for the farm system, and he was absolutely dominant, going six strong innings and facing only one batter over the minimum; he gave up one hit and struck out seven. Yondrei Rojas continued his scoreless streak with two no-hit innings and four strikeouts, and then Kai Peterson got his first save of the year with a no-hit inning himself, and two strikeouts. All in all, the Canadians pitching combined for 9 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 13 K, a pitching masterclass. Eddie Micheletti Jr. - 2-5, 2 RBI, 1 2B Fernando Perez - 6 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 7 K Perez generated 14 whiffs in a dominant performance that earned him Minor League Pitcher of the Week in the Northwest League. His season ERA is now down to 3.19. Dunedin Blue Jays Dunedin (2), Fort Myers (3) - 8/2 - F/10 Box Score Johnny King bump day is always a spectacle to see, and he didn’t disappoint, striking out seven batters and showing much improved command this go around. The Mighty Mussels had opportunities with runners in scoring position, as there were runners on the corners with two outs in the fifth inning, but Marek Houston could not capitalize as he struck out. In the top of the seventh, the Jays got on the board first with an RBI single to score Braden Barry after a double from Matt Scannell. The second time Houston came up with a runner in scoring position, however, he knocked in a run, tying the game one apiece. The game went to extras after no other runs scored, where a passed ball gave the Jays a lead going into the bottom of the 10th. However, Jay Schueler could not keep the lead intact, as he not only gave up a single to Houston again, but then another single to lose a tough game in walk-off fashion. Braden Barry - 2-3, 1 R, 1 2B Johnny King - 5 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 7 K Dunedin (7), Fort Myers (1) - 8/3 - F/11 Box Score This game was very close, until it wasn’t. Austin Smith hit a 100.2-mph double to score the first run. Silvano Hechavarria kept the Mighty Mussels from scoring, but Juanmi Vasquez blew the save after Luis Hernandez hit a single to score the first run for Fort Myers. The game went to extras, and both teams could not score the ghost runner in the tenth inning, but in the top of the 11th inning, the D-Jays exploded for six runs, as Kendry Chirinos hit a double to score the ghost runner, Hayden Gilliland walked with the bases loaded to score another, and Tucker Toman hit a sac fly to bring the lead to three runs. Brock Tibbitts hit a big double for his fourth of the season to score two more runners, and then Eric Snow got the last run in with a groundout. Eminen Flores finished off the game in the 11th to win the last contest of the season series. Brock Tibbitts - 4-5, 2 R, 2 RBI, 1 2B Tibbitts has had his best game yet since returning from the injured list. The 22-year-old 13th-rounder is really swinging it well. Silvano Hechavarria - 5 IP, 4 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 6 K Hechavarria had another scoreless outing, dropping his ERA under 2.00. The 22-year-old Cuban has been getting better ever since coming over to affiliated ball and does not seem to be slowing down at all. DSL Blue Jays Blue D-BJB (1), D-MRN (5) F/7 - 8/2 Box Score BJB took on MRN down in the Dominican Republic on Saturday. Juarlin Soto opened up the second inning with a lead-off double, moved over to third on Fabian Gonzalez's groundout, then scored on Darwin Núñez's sacrifice fly. Gonzalez would record two more hits over the next five innings, but that was all of the base knocks BJB would get. Their pitching didn't hold up either, as Michael De La Cruz gave up three runs and Manuel Suero coughed up two runs himself. BJB got dominated in all aspects of this game on their way to losing 5-1. Fabian Gonzalez: 2-3 Cesar Cerezo: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K D-BJB (2), D-ARB (5) - 8/4 Box Score BJB came into Monday's game looking to do more with the bats against ARB. They did what they sought to do, but unfortunately, they had no timely hits to hang their hat on. BJB racked up 10 hits in the game, but despite that, they hung zero after zero on the scoreboard and headed into the bottom of the ninth inning down 5-0. Soto led off the inning with a single and then scored a few batters later on a ground out by Rafael Flores. Later in the inning, Gonzalez singled home Daniel Dominguez, but Cristopher Polanco struck out to end the scoring threat and the game. BJB lost this one 5-2. Juarlin Soto: 2-4, 1 R, 1 K Edwin Francisco: 3 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 6 K DSL Blue Jays Red D-BJR (0), D-MEO (5) - F/7 - 8/2 Box Score The DSL Blue Jays Red team took on the DSL Mets Orange squad on Saturday down on the island. Get ready for a weekend theme from this team: The offense was struggling. Not everyone had an issue though, as Juan Sanchez went 2-for-3 for the BJR team. His two singles were the entirety of the BJR offense on this day. Well, BJR did add three walks, but it was rough nonetheless. The MEO team got a solo blast from Roybert Herrera in the fourth and scored three more in the fifth on a single, a sacrifice fly, and a double. BJR didn't have it on this day and took the loss 5-0. Juan Sanchez - 2-3, 0 R, 0 RBI, 0 BB, 1 K Edgar Gallegos - 4 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 1 K D-BJR (0), D-TI1 (3) - F/7 - 8/4 Box Score Don't readjust your screen, it was a different day, different opponent, but similar results for the BJR team. This time, they faced off against the DSL Tigers 1 team and were looking up at a deficit in the first inning. The BJR starting pitcher got three outs in the first inning, but a strike three passed ball let the inning continue, and Willian Berti smacked a three-run home run to give TI1 the lead. After the home run, both teams couldn't buy a hit, as there were only four hits the rest of the game. Shockingly, the BJR team again only managed two hits in the game, and once more, they came from Sanchez. He mirrored his Saturday line, going 2-for-3 with a strikeout. BJR lost this one 3-0.

With the calendar switching over to August, the MLB trade deadline has come and gone, and now the final stretch of the minor league season is slowly coming into view. There have been big performances this season in the Toronto Blue Jays' farm system, and it is that time again to recognize some of the top hitting displays from the month of July. Let's first take a look at a few honorable mentions. These hitters were noteworthy but didn't make the final countdown. Stats up to date through the end of July. Honorable Mentions 8. SS, Elaineiker Coronado, 17, DSL, DSL Blue Jays Red 21 G 75 AB .347/.495/.400 21.6% BB% 11.3% K% 2 2B 1 3B 7. SS, Cade Doughty, 24, Double A, New Hampshire Fisher Cats 22 G 76 AB .342/.391/.447 143 wRC+ 9.1% BB% 15.9% K% 5 2B 1 HR 6. C, Ali Sánchez, 28, Triple A, Buffalo Bisons 11 G 36 AB .361/.425/.472 146 wRC+ 10% BB% 20% K% 4 2B Top Five Hitters of the Month (July) 5. 3B, Kendry Chirinos, 20, Single A, Dunedin Blue Jays 11 G 38 AB .316/.400/.421 130 wRC+ 13.3% BB% 26.7% K% 1 2B 1 HR Kendry Chirinos is a third baseman for the Dunedin Blue Jays who was signed by the Toronto Blue Jays out of Venezuela in 2022. Now at Single A, he has begun putting things together with the bat. He made the list here because he was about as consistent as possible in the month of July. He managed to have hits in nine of his 11 games played in the month. His highlight game was on July 19, when he went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI. 4. 3B, Cutter Coffey, 21, High A, Vancouver Canadians 24 G 97 AB .299/.373/.495 136 wRC+ 10.0% BB% 16.4% K% 10 2B 3 HR Cutter Coffey was drafted by the Boston Red Sox in the second round of the 2024 draft and traded to the Toronto Blue Jays last summer. He has really taken off in the months of June and July, after starting the season slowly. He hit just .229 and .244 in the months of April and May, respectively. In June, his offensive numbers skyrocketed, as he slashed .337/.412/.506. July wasn't as good, but he did manage to have eight multi-hit games and launch three home runs. He has a very good slash line for the year now, and if he continues putting up numbers like he did in June and July, he could see himself in New Hampshire shortly. With good hitting prospects below Triple A in short supply for the Blue Jays, Coffey could be one of the rising names as the season comes down to its last month. 3. 3B Charles McAdoo, 23, Double A, New Hampshire Fisher Cats 22 G 83 AB .265/.337/.482 139 wRC+ 9.8% BB% 31.5% K% 3 2B 5 HR 5 SB Charles McAdoo is another player who came over to the Toronto Blue Jays system at the 2024 trade deadline. Also, like many players in the Blue Jays' minor league system, he struggled with the bat for the first couple of months this year before really turning it on. In July, he crushed five home runs, doubling his total for the whole season. Maybe one of the most surprising things about his season is that he now looks like one of the best dual threats for the Blue Jays in the minor leagues. By the end of July, McAdoo had racked up 10 home runs and 20 stolen bases on the season. He could be the next in line for a promotion to Triple-A Buffalo, and the power/speed combo could be what gets him there. 2. 1B/OF David Beckles, 21, FCL Blue Jays 17 G 64 AB .359/.414/.609 180 wRC+ 5.7% BB% 20.0% K% 4 2B 4 HR David Beckles was signed as a minor league free agent by the Toronto Blue Jays and has been phenomenal in his first season with the team. The month of July was no different, as he helped lead the FCL Blue Jays team to the FCL League Championship last week. He had a 180 wRC+ in the month and was a power-hitting machine in a league that often doesn't see much power from hitters. He was a little old for the level, but the next step should be to move up to Single-A Dunedin to face better pitchers. 1. SS Juan Sanchez, 17, DSL Blue Jays 21 G 85 AB .318/.427/.518 145 wRC+ 9.7% BB% 10.7% K% 7 2B 2 3B 2 HR 7 HBP The Blue Jays signed Juan Sanchez during the J15 period this past January, and he has taken the baseball field by storm down on the island. In the DSL this year, he has been one of the better hitters and really took off in July. He was an extra-base machine, hitting 11 on the month and looking like one of the better DSL hitters the Blue Jays have had in years. He had a 175 wRC+, an OBP near .500, and a SLG above .600 before a hitless three-game stretch to close the month. One of the best things in this stretch from Sanchez was his plate skills, as he had almost as many walks as strikeouts for the month. He should finish out the season in the DSL and could make his stateside debut in 2026. View full article

Buffalo Bisons Buffalo (), Columbus () - 7/26 Postponed Buffalo (), Columbus () - 7/27 Postponed New Hampshire Fisher Cats New Hampshire (6), Hartford (0) - 7/26 Box Score Saturday was Trey Day! Trey Yesavage was on the mound for New Hampshire, and it was perfection from him and near-perfection from the bullpen. He went only four innings (48 pitches), but it was his best start at Double A this year. Harford's hitters went 12 up, 12 down against Yesavage and struck out five times, all swinging. New Hampshire took full advantage of the gem, with an offense led by Jackson Hornung. He doubled in the first inning, then scored on Ryan McCarty's single to left field. Devonte Brown led off the bottom of the second with a solo home run to left field, giving New Hampshire a 2-0 lead. Hornung got in on the long ball fun as well, launching his third home run to right field, a solo shot, in the bottom of the third. Alex Amalfi came in for Yesavage in the fifth and kept the perfect game alive, notching a one-two-three inning. Unfortunately, history would not repeat itself for the Fisher Cats, as Juan Guerrero doubled in the sixth to break up the perfect game and no-hitter. The bullpen would coast from there, though, with the double being the only baserunner Hartford would get on the day. New Hampshire added three more runs in the eighth on Cade Doughty's RBI single, Brown's sacrifice fly, and a runner coming home on a passed ball. The Fisher Cats dominated on the way to a 6-0 win. Jackson Hornung: 2-3, 2 R, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 HR, 1 2B Trey Yesavage: 4 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 5 K New Hampshire (), Hartford () - 7/27 Postponed Vancouver Canadians Vancouver (5), Eugene (3) - 7/26 - F/10 Box Score The Canadians had a bullpen day after the 'pen was stretched thin with some extra-inning games and a doubleheader the previous couple of days, but the pitching was pretty good. Edinson Batista did give up three runs in 3.2 innings, but Johan Simon and Julio Ortiz blanked the Emeralds after that. Carter Cunningham got the scoring going for the Canadians with a solo homer in the sixth to bring the lead to within two, then, in the bottom of the eighth, Nick Goodwin reached on a fielding error that led to Cunningham scoring again. After that, Bryce Arnold walked with the bases loaded to score Goodwin. The game remained tied going into the 10th inning, and Ortiz prevented the ghost runner from scoring. The Canadians walked it off on a huge Sean Keys homer in the bottom of the frame. Sean Keys - 1-3, 1 R, 2 RBI, 1 BB Keys showed off his power with his 12th homer of the season to win the game in extras for the Canadians. Johan Simon - 3.1 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 4 K Vancouver (0), Eugene (1) - 7/27 Box Score Runs were hard to come by for both teams, as the starting pitchers were excellent in this game. Gage Stanifer pitched five strong scoreless innings with eight strikeouts, and Cesar Perdomo went 6.1 scoreless innings himself. The only run to score in the whole game was from a Charlie Szykowny double off of Colby Holcombe, who has struggled recently. In the bottom of the eighth, the Canadians had a chance to tie it with Edward Duran hitting his second double with two outs, but Cunningham grounded out. That was all they wrote for the Canadians, as they lost a nail-biter. Edward Duran - 2-4, 1 2B Gage Stanifer - 5 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 8 K After a few shaky starts, Stanifer had what was possibly his best start of the season, only allowing two baserunners and striking out eight in five scoreless innings. Dunedin Blue Jays Dunedin (7), Bradenton (1) - 7/26 Box Score Off the back of a strong start from Austin Cates, the D-Jays earned a nice win against the Marauders. The Marauders struggled to stay in the zone, as in the first inning, the Jays scored their first run on a bases-loaded walk. In the fifth inning, there was an offensive explosion, as an Alexis Hernandez double added to the lead, and then Kendry Chirinos drew a walk in another bases-loaded situation. Manuel Beltre almost cleared the bases with a double, and then Lizandro Rodriguez added another run on a lineout to make it a five-run inning for the D-Jays. Daniel Guerra relieved Cates and went four strong innings himself, as he’s been much better in relief, only allowing a solo homer to Edward Florentino. Beltre added to a strong day with a single in the ninth to give him his third RBI of the night. Manuel Beltre - 3-5, 3 RBI, 1 2B Austin Cates - 5 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 6 K Austin Cates has been too good for Dunedin, as shown by his sub-2.00 ERA over his past 12 appearances. He should push his way up to higher levels given his strong performances. Dunedin (6), Bradenton (8) - 7/27 Box Score The Jays faced off against Bradenton again, and they loaded the bases early in the second inning but were unable to capitalize fully, as Beltre grounded into a double play, and only one run scored. Braden Barry flew out right after. Hernandez and Tucker Toman helped score two runs in the third, however, as they both doubled. Johnny King let in a run after a passed ball from Hayden Gilliland but got out of the inning after facing traffic. The issues started for the D-Jays when the 'pen was in, as Bennett Flynn gave up five runs himself, three being earned, and Eric Pardinho gave up two runs. The defense didn’t do them any favours with three errors and a passed ball this game. The Jays made a comeback in the ninth after being down five runs with a Chirinos sac fly scoring one run, and then a Barry double scoring two more with two outs, but they couldn’t complete the comeback. Tucker Toman - 3-5, 2 R, 1 RBI, 1 2 Johnny King - 3 IP, 1 H, 1 R (0 ER), 3 BB, 7 K King struggled hard with his command, with two wild pitches, three hit batters, and three walks. However, he was strong at keeping runners from scoring once they got on base, with seven strikeouts and only an unearned run scoring. FCL Blue Jays F-BLU (4), F-AST (3) - F/10 - 7/26 Box Score Saturday's game marked the first game of the FCL playoffs for the Toronto Blue Jays' squad, and it was against the Houston Astros' team. This game was a pitcher's duel from the get-go, with Troy Guthrie pitching lights out for the Blue Jays. He went five innings, gave up just two hits and two walks, struck out four, and held the Astros scoreless. The Blue Jays were carrying a one-run lead that they got in the top of the first from a David Beckles groundout, which scored Raimundo De Los Santos on a throwing error. In the seventh, the Astros tied the game when Arturo Flores doubled in a run. Beckles quickly turned that back into a one-run lead on an RBI single to right field in the eighth. The back and forth continued in the bottom half of the inning, as the Astros tied the game on a run-scoring balk. The win-or-go-home game came down to extra innings. The Blue Jays struck first in the 10th, as a Drew Jemison single and a throwing error brought in a run, and then Aldo Gaxiola hit an RBI single of his own to put the Blue Jays up two. Diego Dominguez came in to pitch the bottom of the frame and gave up a single, a sacrifice fly, and another single to the first three batters. He locked in from there, getting the last two hitters on a pop out and ground out. The Blue Jays' team moved on to the finals. Raimundo De Los Santos - 2-4, 2 R, 0 RBI, 0 BB, 0 K, 1 2B Troy Guthrie - 5 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 4 K F-BLU (2), F-TWI (1) - 7/27 Box Score There was no rest to be had, as the Toronto Blue Jays' club took on the Minnesota Twins' team in the FCL Championship. It was another game dominated by pitching, and baserunners were hard to come by in this one. Sann Omosako shined for the Blue Jays, going five shutout innings, giving up just two hits and four walks, and striking out two hitters. Juan Cota matched him from the Twins side, only surrendering three hits and no runs as well in five innings. In the seventh, the lid was pried off the plate when Isaac Pena singled home a run for the Twins. The bottom of the eighth came around, and the Blue Jays still needed to get on the scoreboard. Gaxiola hit a double to center field, scoring De Los Santos and tying the game. Yorman Licourt then came to bat and drove in Gaxiola to give the Blue Jays a one-run lead. That was it, as Franly Urena shut the door on the Twins and the Blue Jays took Game 1 of the best-of-three series. Aldo Gaxiola - 1-4, 1 R, 1 RBI, 0 BB, 0 K, 1 2B Sann Omosako - 5 IP, 4 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 2 K F-BLU (7), F-TWI (5) - 7/28 Box Score Championship Monday had a good ring to it for the FCL Toronto Blue Jays team, as they looked to finish a somewhat unlikely playoff run. Samuel Colmenares kicked things off on the mound for the Blue Jays' team, and he was successful in holding the Twins' squad in check. He gave up just one walk and no runs, while striking out one in 2.2 innings. The Blue Jays took the lead in the fourth inning of the game when Dylan Leach roped a bases-clearing three-run double to right field. Things turned upside down in the bottom half of the inning, as the Twins scored on an error, a bases-loaded walk, and a sacrifice fly to tie the game at three. In the seventh, Gaxiola came through for the Blue Jays by driving in two runs on a single to center field. With a two-run lead, De Los Santos hit an RBI single in the eighth, and David Beckles put the Blue Jays up four with a bases-loaded walk. It all came down to the bottom of the ninth, where things got wild. A groundout, a single, another groundout, and a walk put the Blue Jays one out from taking the Championship Series after four hitters, but the Twins weren't ready to have their season end. Dominguez came on to finish the game, and he was a bit jittery. He threw a wild pitch to allow a run to score, then he walked his first batter on another wild pitch, allowing a second run to score. He then hit the second batter he faced, bringing Eduardo Beltre to the plate. Dominguez threw the first pitch to Beltre, and that was it: a long fly ball to right field……..falling into the glove of Licourt. The Blue Jays FCL team had won the FCL Championship!!! Raimundo De Los Santos - 3-5, 1 R, 1 RBI, 0 BB, 0 K, 1 SB Samuel Colmenares - 2.2 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K DSL Blue Jays Blue D-BJB (5), D-MRN (4) - 7/26 Box Score BJB was in a tight game on Saturday against MRN. In the bottom of the first, BJB got on the scoreboard with a big inning. They loaded up the bases on a walk, single, and hit by pitch. Yeicer Crespo singled home Cristopher Polanco, Juarlin Soto was hit by a pitch with the bases still loaded, and Darwin Núñez grounded into a double play to score the third run. In the second, they added another run on Rafael Flores’ sacrifice fly that scored J.T. Bain. MRN tied the game up with two runs in the fifth and sixth innings. Polanco led off the bottom of the sixth with a single and moved to third base on Angel Guzman's single. Flores gave BJB the lead back when he smacked a ball to right field for a sacrifice fly, aided by a fielding error. The bullpen held strong the rest of the game, not giving up another hit, giving BJB the 5-4 win. Cristopher Polanco: 1-2, 2 R, 3 BB, 1 K Michael De La Cruz: 4 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 4 BB, 7 K D-BJB (0), D-PIB (11) S/4 - 7/28 Box Score BJB was down big on Monday against PIB when rain washed out the game, causing it to be suspended in the middle of the bottom of the fourth. BJB only had two hits in the game, a double from Elian Reyes and a single from Crespo. On the flip side, their pitchers gave up 11 runs through three innings and part of the fourth. DSL Blue Jays Red D-BJR (16), D-NAT (3) - 7/26 Box Score BJR had an offensive explosion with the bats on Saturday down in the Dominican Republic. Juan Sanchez continued blistering baseballs, racking up three hits, including two doubles. His partner in crime was again Elaineiker Coronado, and the two have formed a fearsome duo at the top of the order. Coronado racked up four hits in this game, as BJR torched the baseball to the tune of 16 hits in this one. BJR had three big innings, the first of which was the top of the third. Sanchez started things off by doubling in Nicolas Vergara and then scored on Kennew Blanco's single. Randy Soto then shot a ball to left for a sacrifice fly, and Pascual Archila capped it off with an RBI double. Sanchez added another RBI double in the fifth, scoring Luis Felipe and then crossing home himself on Blanco's double-play ball. In the top of the eighth, Vergara and Felipe had RBI singles, Sanchez added an RBI groundout, and Felipe scored on a balk. In the top of the ninth, BJR loaded the bases, and Coronado cleared them with his single to third base and a throwing error by the third baseman. BJR coasted to a 16-3 win. Juan Sanchez: 3-5, 3 R, 3 RBI, 1 BB, 2 2B Edgar Gallegos: 5 IP, 7 H, 3 ER, 0 BB, 4 K D-BJR (0), D-TI1 (6) F/7 - 7/28 Box Score If Saturday was an A-grade performance, Monday was an F for BJR. They were shut out and held to only four hits, two by Coronado. Luis Fonseca did fairly well on the mound, going four innings and not walking anyone, while giving up four hits, two runs (one earned), and striking out three. The big damage against BJR came in the top of the sixth when their pitcher, Luis Victorino, committed a throwing error, allowing two runs to score. BJR fell to Ti1 6-0.

Buffalo Bisons Buffalo (3), Omaha (2) - 7/19 Box Score In the Saturday tilt between the Buffalo Bisons and Omaha Storm Chasers, the long ball started things off on the scoreboard. Christian Bethancourt launched his sixth long ball of the season in the third inning, a solo shot to center field. Ali Sánchez's single to right field added a run for Buffalo in the fourth. The Buffalo pitchers kept the Storm Chasers in check all night. Starter CJ Van Eyk went 3 1/3 innings, gave up four hits, zero earned runs, walked two, and struck out three. In the seventh, a wild pitch would bring home Bethancourt to give the Bisons a three-run lead. Amir Garrett came on to close the game in the ninth for Buffalo. He walked the first batter, and the second hitter of the inning launched a triple to bring in a run. Former Blue Jay, Cavan Biggio, brought in a second run via a sacrifice fly. Garrett would induce a ground out from Drew Waters to finish the inning, and Buffalo would win the game 3-2.

Adam Kloffenstein was starting on the mound for Buffalo and he was roughed up. In the first inning, MJ Melendez launched a home run to center field to give the Storm Chasers a one run lead. In the second, a bases loaded walk brought in another. A Carter Jensen solo shot in the third brought the lead for the Storm Chasers to three. Drew Waters’ RBI double and Jensen's RBI single increased the lead to six in the fourth. In the seventh, Buffalo finally got on the board with a Buddy Kennedy RBI single to left field. Riley Tirotta would add an RBI single of his own to cut the lead to four. Two RBI doubles for the Storm Chasers in the eighth extended the lead back to six. In the bottom of the eighth, Jonatan Clase doubled in Michael Stefanic and then RJ Schreck blasted a two-run home run. Clase doubled in another run in the ninth, but Buffalo couldn't get it any closer. They lost this one 8-6. RJ Schreck- 2-4, 2 R, 2 RBI, 0 BB, 0 K, 1 HR Dillon Tate- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K New Hampshire Fisher Cats New Hampshire (11), Binghamton (6) - 7/19 Box Score Saturday's game between New Hampshire and Binghamton was an offensive explosion for the Fisher Cats’ bats, but a worrisome sight for the bullpen. Juaron Watts-Brown started the game for New Hampshire and it was one of his worst outings of the season. In the first inning, his command eluded him, as he walked a batter, gave up a single, and then hit another batter. JT Schwartz then smacked a ball to left field for a sacrifice fly and Chris Suero singled home the other two baserunners, giving Binghamton the quick 3-0 lead. In the second, Watts-Brown started off hot, striking out the first two hitters, but then Jett Williams manufactured a run after his single by stealing second base and then scoring on a Carson Benge single. New Hampshire fought back in the bottom of the second inning, getting a crooked number of their own. They scored one on a double play ball to second base and another on a passed ball by the catcher. Jackson Hornung then launched his second home run at Double-A, a big three-run shot to center, scoring three. In the bottom of the third, Devonte Brown added a run to New Hampshire's lead with a long ball of his own to right field. After giving the run back to Binghamton in the top of the fifth, New Hampshire's bats kept the offensive outburst going in the bottom half of the inning. Two runs would score on Cade Doughty's single to center, two more would score on Gabriel Martinez's triple, who himself would score on a wild pitch. New Hampshire's bullpen held strong the rest of the game, only surrendering one more run when Nick Lorusso doubled home Schwartz in the seventh. The Fisher Cats cruised to a big win, 11-6. Jackson Hornung: 2-5, 1 R, 3 RBI, 1 K, 1 HR Michael Dominguez: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K New Hampshire (9), Binghamton (12) - 7/20 Box Score Sunday's finale with Binghamton was not the Double-A debut that Khal Stephen was hoping for. He got hit hard during his four innings and got touched up with a couple of long balls. Jacob Reimer lead-off the second inning with one of those home runs, a solo shot to center. Binghamton would score two more runs in the inning, one on a fielder’s choice and the other on a sacrifice bunt. In the bottom half of the inning, New Hampshire scored their first run of the game on a sacrifice fly by Dasan Brown. Stephen then surrendered his second home run of the game in the top of the third inning, this one a two-run shot by Nick Lorusso. In the bottom half, Victor Arias would scamper home on an error, cutting Binghamton's lead to three. The Rumble Ponies would then put up a three-spot on the scoreboard in the fifth, highlighted by Kevin Parada's two-run triple. New Hampshire started a comeback in the seventh, Jackson Hornung singled home Brown, Ryan McCarty drew a bases-loaded walk, and then Cade Doughty knocked in Hornung on a single. The Fisher Cats weren't done though, they batted around, scoring three more, with the big hit being Brown's second hit of the inning, a double scoring two. In all, New Hampshire would score seven runs in the inning and take the lead 9-8. The momentum was short-lived however, Binghamton tied it up in the ninth, before JT Schwartz unloaded on a pitch, a three-run home run, for what would be the game winning runs. New Hampshire fell in a wild one, 12-9. Dasan Brown: 2-4, 1 R, 3 RBI, 1 2B, 1 SB Khal Stephen: 4 IP, 5 H, 4 ER, 1 BB, 2 K Vancouver Canadians Vancouver (1), Spokane (2) - 7/19 Box Score This was a low scoring affair, as Jackson Wentworth and Braxton Hyde both only gave up one run. In the bottom of the third inning, Bryce Arnold hit a double with no outs, and then fellow Canadian Sam Shaw had his first RBI in Vancouver with a double of his own. Arjun Nimmala had a chance to break the game open with runners on the corner with one out, but grounded into a double play to break the momentum for Vancouver. Wentworth had the lead going into the sixth inning, but gave up a solo shot to GJ Hill with one out. The Canadians had another opportunity in the bottom of the seventh, as Shaw’s single with Arnold at first with one out putting two runners on base, and then Cutter Coffey walked to load the bases. Unfortunately, Eddie Micheletti Jr. and Arjun Nimmala couldn’t deliver as they left all three runners on base. Irv Carter replaced Wentworth and pitched well, but in the top of the eighth a speedy runner on base led to a run, as Caleb Hobson stole two bases and then scored on a wild pitch, which ended up being the winning run for Spokane. Cutter Coffey - 2-3, 2 BB, 1 2B Jackson Wentworth - 6 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 7 K Wentworth was taken out of the game early in his previous start after a trainer came to the mound, but pitched a great game the start immediately after, assuaging injury concerns. Vancouver (4), Spokane (6) - 7/20 Box Score The third game of the series, and the Canadians immediately went down early in the first inning with an Aidan Longwell homer off of Edinson Batista. No runs scored until Edinson Batista was taken out in the fifth inning, and Jonathan Todd got two quick outs before Longwell singled and then Blake Wright hit a homer to extend the lead for Spokane. Kai Peterson came in after Todd and after a walk, a Tevin Tucker steal, and a GJ Hill single, Carter Cunningham committed a throwing error which allowed Tucker to score. Peterson was able to strike out three batters after in the inning but the lead was again raised. JJ Sanchez similarly had issues with runners on base after giving up a single to Jean Perez, who immediately stole two bases and then scored on a wild pitch. Darius Perry homered for the third Spokane homer on the night, as the Canadians had just the bottom of the ninth to come back into the game. It started with Peyton Powell’s first High-A hit, then Dunedin teammate Sam Shaw also singled before Cutter Coffey hit an RBI-double to put the Canadians on the board. Eddie Micheletti Jr. hit a single for the fourth Canadians hit in a row to score Shaw and Coffey to put the game within three. Arjun Nimmala was hit by a pitch, and after a Sean Keys sac fly, Edward Duran had the fifth hit for the Canadians during the inning to score Micheletti Jr., but that was the last run for the Canadians as Cunningham and Jay Harry struck out after Cade Denton came in to shut the door. Cutter Coffey - 2-4, 1 R, 1 RBI, 2 2B Coffey has been a doubles machine for the Canadians, with his two doubles in this game tying him for the second most doubles in the Northwest League, with 22 on the season. The former Red Sox second rounder hasn’t shown the homer power that he did last season, but has shown much better gap power in exchange. Edinson Batista - 4 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 3 K Batista has been very flexible for the Jays organization after acquiring him in a trade from the Astros earlier this season. The results have not been the prettiest, but he’s been moving in and out of the rotation and the bullpen as changes have been going on within the organization. Dunedin Blue Jays Dunedin (12), Tampa (4) - 7/20 Box Score The D-Jays had an offensive explosion, as they had 11 hits, with six of them being for extra bases. They were able to get to Xavier Rivas early and often, tacking on seven runs within only three innings, with the first four being off just productive outs and wild pitches, but then Aponte gave the Jays a 7-0 lead with a three run homer in the bottom of the third. Hans Montero got to Austin Cates in the fifth with a homer, but then Alexis Hernandez answered back with one of his own in the bottom of the same inning. Daniel Guerra replaced Cates and pitched four strong innings to earn the save, but gave up a two-runner to Tyler Wilson. Kendry Chirinos and Yhoangel Aponte erased that homer with a homer each. The Jays had some of the most homers they’ve had and it’s even more impressive after the ground of promotions within the team. Yhoangel Aponte - 3-4, 3 R, 4 RBI, 2 HR Aponte has struggled after starting off the season strong, as he hadn’t had an extra base hit in a month. However, he had three hits today including two homers, breaking the extra base hitless streak and homerless streak. Austin Cates - 5 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 0 BB, 7 K Cates has not much left to prove in Dunedin but is blocked by a crowded rotation in the level above him. Fastball velocity was up and he was averaging 21 inches of induced vertical break, and a strong whiff rate with the splitter. Dunedin (7), Tampa (1) - 7/21 Box Score A lot of high profile major leaguers were on rehab assignment for Dunedin, with Daulton Varsho in center field and Alek Manoah on the bump. Manoah didn’t have the velo as he had in his rookie ball start, but was able to go two innings, only giving up one run, with three hits and two strikeouts. Varsho tied the game after Manoah was taken out in the bottom of the third with an RBI-ground out, and then in the fifth inning Varsho had a three run homer. Tucker Toman added a homer himself that same inning, to make it five to one for the D-Jays. Toman did it again in the seventh, with his fifth homer of the season and second of the game. Johnny King, Jay Schueler, and Juanmi Vazquez were able to pitch seven scoreless innings with 11 strikeouts in relief after Manoah was taken out, with the D-Jays winning two dominant games in a row. Tucker Toman - 2-3, 2 R, 3 RBI, 1 BB, 2 HR Toman tied his career high in homers, as the former second rounder has struggled early in his career but has had his best game of the season for Dunedin. Johnny King - 4 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 4 BB, 9 K FCL Blue Jays F-BLU (4), F-PHI (3) - 7/19 Box Score The FCL Blue Jays struck first in this game, when David Beckles got a hold of a ball and launched it over the left centerfield fence for a solo blast. The bats were quiet after that for both teams until the eighth. A triple for the Phillies team tied things up at one and then in the ninth they added a sacrifice fly and an RBI single to take the lead by two. In the bottom of the ninth, Beckles walked, Aldo Gaxiola singled, and Enmanuel Bonilla added a single to load the bases with one out. From there, Raimundo De Los Santos singled home two runs, aided by an error to tie the game. Drew Jemison walked to load the bases again, and then Dariel Ramon took ball four for the walk-off walk! David Beckles- 2-2, 2 R, 1 RBI, 2 BB, 1 HR Eduar Gonzalez- 3 IP, 4 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 3 K F-BLU (4), F-PHI (3) - F/10 - 7/21 Box Score The Tigers squad got things started in this game. On a double steal in the bottom of the first inning, the catcher's throw was off and a run scored on the error. In the fourth, David Beckles continued his hot streak by crushing his sixth home run of the season, this one a solo shot. In the sixth, it was again Beckles who got a hold of a pitch and deposited it over the wall for his second home run of the game. Raimundo De Los Santos followed later in the inning with an RBI double. A two-run double for the Tigers team tied the game in the eighth and it would then go to extras. In the tenth, the Blue Jays team would go down in order on two fly outs and a strikeout looking. In the Tigers’ half of the inning, a bunt single and then later a sacrifice fly would end this game with a walk-off for the Tigers. David Beckles- 2-5, 2 R, 2 RBI, 0 BB, 0 K, 2 HR Lluveres Severino- 3 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 4 K DSL Blue Jays Blue D-BJB (4), D-WSX (10) F/7 - 7/21 Box Score After a little break for the DSL All-Star game, BJB was back in game action against WSX. They started the game down 5-0, after giving up a grand slam in the top of the first inning to Jose Mendoza. WSX added three more runs in the third inning to extend the lead to eight runs and create an almost insurmountable lead. Juarlin Soto started to chip away at the lead with an RBI single in the bottom half of the inning, scoring Esmeiquel Arrieche. After giving up another two runs in the fourth, BJB added a run to their total with Elian Reyes’ single to right field, which scored Rafael Flores. The scoring would go stagnant until the bottom of the ninth inning, when Soto hit another RBI single and Franklin Rojas added a sacrifice fly. BJB wouldn't get anything else though, dropping the game 10-4. Juarlin Soto: 2-5, 2 RBI, 1 K Geremy Barroso: 3.2 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 4 K DSL Blue Jays Red D-BJR (6), D-MRN (3) - 7/21 Box Score BJR faced off against MRN down on the island Monday morning. They got some big performances in route to their win. The first runs of the game were scored by BJR in the top of the fifth. Kennew Blanco singled home Keegan Pieternella and two more would score later in the inning on an error by MRN. After Dawel Joseph tied the game at three in the seventh with a home run, BJB took control of the game in the eighth. Luis Felipe's RBI single started the scoring in the inning and Juan Sanchez's two-RBI double capped it off. It was only fitting that BJB came away with the win, as Luis Fonseca twirled a gem, going four innings, not giving up a run and striking out nine. BJB rolled to a 6-3 win.

Buffalo Bisons Buffalo (3), Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (6) - 7/12 Box Score Saturday's contest was a dull one, with Buffalo fighting uphill for much of the game. They got the scoring started in the second inning, when Yohendrick Pinango blasted his sixth home run for Buffalo this season, to give the Bisons a one run lead. Jose Rojas returned the favor for the RailRiders in the bottom of the frame, but his home run was a two-run shot, putting Buffalo down one. In the sixth, an RBI single and a three-run homer from Jake Gatewood gave the RailRiders a five-run lead. Riley Tirotta added a sacrifice fly in the ninth and Ali Sánchez had an infield single to the shortstop that brought in the final run for Buffalo. The Bisons would lose 6-3. Yohendrick Pinango- 1-3, 1 R, 1 RBI, 0 BB, 1 K, 1 HR Ryan Jennings- 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 0 K Buffalo (4), Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (5) - 7/13 Box Score In the final game of the series between the Bisons and the RailRiders, Lazaro Estrada returned to the mound as a bulk pitcher on the day. He pitched four innings, starting in the third and had some success. He gave up just three hits, but he walked three and surrendered three runs, to go with two strikeouts. In the first inning, the RailRiders took the lead on a Spencer Jones solo home run. Buffalo countered in the second, when Christian Bethancourt drove in a run via a sacrifice fly. In the fourth an RBI single brought in two runs for the RailRiders and again it was Bethancourt that answered for Buffalo. This time he launched a two-run home run in the seventh inning. The bottom of the seventh saw Jesus Rodriguez single home two runs for the RailRiders on a ground ball to center field. The Bisons rally in the eighth inning was cut short, but not before Riley Tirotta plated another run for Buffalo on a ground ball force out. The Bisons failed to push across another run on the scoreboard and ended up falling in this one 5-4. Christian Bethancourt- 2-3, 1 R, 3 RBI, 0 BB, 0 K, 1 HR, 1 2B Lazaro Estrada- 4 IP, 3 H, 3 ER, 3 BB, 2 K New Hampshire Fisher Cats New Hampshire (6), Somerset (3) - 7/12 Box Score Saturday's game between Somerset and New Hampshire was marred by errors in what was Elmer Rodriguez-Cruz’s Double-A debut for the Patriots. After an easy first inning for Rodriguez-Cruz, he got into a little trouble in the second inning. Charles McAdoo led-off the inning with a double, followed by a catcher's interference. The Fisher Cats wouldn't be able to cash anyone in, as Peyton Williams struck out and Gabriel Martinez grounded into a double play. Somerset was more fortunate in the bottom half of the inning, scoring two runs on a double by Max Burt. Ryan McCarty singled home a run in the top of the fourth inning and McAdoo added two on his second double of the game. A fourth run would score when McCarty scampered home on a wild pitch. In the fourth, Cade Doughty added to New Hampshire's lead with a sacrifice fly, scoring Devonte Brown. Alex Stone knocked in the final run of the game with a single in the sixth, scoring Brown again. The bullpen held their own in this game where all nine innings would come from them. New Hampshire took this game 6-3. Charles McAdoo: 2-4, 2 RBI, 1 K, 2 2B Rafael Sanchez: 4 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 5 K New Hampshire (1), Somerset (5) 7/13 Box Score The final game before the all-star break was particularly problematic for New Hampshire and their bats. They were facing a rehabbing Luis Gil and Carlos Lagrange for the second time this week. Gil struck out six Fisher Cats on his way to a solid 3.1 innings. His only blemish was a Charles McAdoo solo shot to left field in the top of the fourth inning. Lagrange came into the game in the top of the fifth inning with the game all square at one. He was more than spectacular, throwing five near perfect innings, only surrendering one walk, zero hits, and striking out seven. Even with Grant Rogers throwing a gem of his own, New Hampshire had no shot. The Fisher Cats fell 5-1 in a game they struck out 13 times and only had two hits. Charles McAdoo: 1-4, 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 HR Grant Rogers: 6 IP, 6 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 4 K Vancouver Canadians Vancouver (10), Hillsboro (6) - 7/12 Box Score This was a bittersweet game for the Canadians, as their offense exploded for double digits, but there were some scary moments for the pitching. Jackson Wentworth pitched three and two-thirds innings, giving up three runs off of two hits and three walks, with two of the walks coming in the bottom of the fourth before a trainer was called to the mound to take him out of the game with injury. This was the half inning after the Canadians scored the first five runs of the game, starting with an Arjun Nimmala double, then a wild pitch that scored Cutter Coffey, a RBI fielder’s choice from Sean Keys, and Carter Cunningham had his own double to score four runs. Nick Goodwin hit a single to move Cunningham to third, but Jay Harry hit into a sac fly double play as Cunningham scored but Nick Goodwin was out at second to end the inning. Edinson Batista replaced Wentworth and immediately let in all the inherited runs with a homer, and then lost the lead allowing two more runs to score. In the top of the fifth, Victor Arias, Cutter Coffey, and Arjun loaded the bases, and with two outs Sean Keys hit a grand slam to give the Canadians the lead back. The bullpen kept the Hops at six runs, with Kai Peterson pitching two strong innings before Yondrei Rojas came in, who went one and one-third of an inning before he took a liner to the head and had to be removed from the game. Arjun Nimmala hit a ground-rule double to make it double-digits for the Canadians in between the innings, and Aaron Munson ended the game with two outs after replacing Rojas, who hopefully is ok. Arjun Nimmala - 2-4, 2 R, 2 RBI, 1 BB, 2 2B Nimmala has struggled since his hot start, but he’s been showing some pop again after a power outage. He’s now had three doubles in his last two games. Kai Peterson - 2 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 K Vancouver (6), Hillsboro (7) - 7/11 Box Score The Canadians took an early lead off the back of strong starting pitching from Stanifer, who pitched three scoreless innings. The offense also scored three runs in the first, with Sean Keys walking with the bases loaded, and then Nick Goodwin hitting an RBI-single to score two more runs. They added another run in the fourth inning, this time Cutter Coffey scored Hayden Gilliland on his own RBI-single. However, the bullpen collapsed, as Julio Ortiz lost command of the zone and threw a wild pitch, before JJ Sanchez came in and caught the wild pitch bug and threw one himself and then hit a batter immediately which resulted in the Hops’ first run. He then threw another Wild pitch that allowed a second run to score. A Cutter Coffey error extended the inning and let run number three on the board, which led to a walk and a single to score two more runs for the Hops and let them take the lead. A passed ball, into a single and an error from Bryce Arnold allowed another two runs to score, as the Canadians fell apart in the sixth inning. The Canadians had a chance to comeback, as Nicolas Deschamps and Bryce Arnold (born in Canada) hit a single each, and then Jay Harry had one of his own which loaded the bases with no outs. Although they didn’t get the dreaded NOBLETIGER, Cutter Coffey and Eddie Micheletti Jr. were only able to muster up two RBI groundouts, and Arjun Nimmala was able to get to the dish for the last chance to tie it up for the Canadians, but fell short with a fly out to end the game. Eddie Micheletti Jr. - 1-3, 1 R, 1 RBI, 2 BB, 1 2B Gage Stanifer - 3 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 K Stanifer was taking out early, as he’s already hit a career high in innings pitched and the Jays may want to take it slower with the talented righty. After a rough last appearance, he righted the ship and only walked one batter in three innings of work. Dunedin Blue Jays Dunedin (1), Palm Beach (7) - 7/12 Box Score Dunedin continues to struggle as a lot of their top end talent has been promoted to higher levels within the organization due to strong performance and to give enough space for new draftees to start off. The game was close heading into the fourth inning, as both starters kept each team scoreless for the first three innings. RJ Schreck got on base and got to third, where Sam Shaw hit a sac fly to score the first run of the game. Sammy Hernandez hit a single against Johnny King to tie it up right after. Juanmi Vazquez pitched two scoreless innings after replacing King, but the wheels fell off in the seventh, as he allowed four runs allowing a homer to Rainiel Rodriguez and then Vazquez and Eminen Flores proceeded to give up three bases loaded walks. The Cardinals scored two more runs that same inning as the Jays could not come back from that. Tucker Toman - 2-3, 1 BB Johnny King - 4 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 3 BB, 7 K King had his best start in Low-A ball, striking out seven hitters in his longest outing. The lefty’s sinker was on full display, throwing it over 60% of the time with 17 inches of ride and nearly 13 inches of run. King had 16 whiffs as hitters could not deal with his excellent stuff. Dunedin (0), Palm Beach (0) - Suspended after 5 innings Box Score Weather woes continued for Dunedin, as the game was suspended in the fifth inning with no runs on the board. Silvano Hechavarria - 4 IP, 4 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 3 K Silvano Hechavarria pitched well, with four scoreless innings lowering his ERA to 2.86 in Low-A. FCL Blue Jays F-BLU (3), F-TIG (2) - F/8 - 7/12 Box Score Jose Dickerson's RBI single for the Tigers squad in the top of the first inning started this game early Saturday morning. Yeuni Munoz, who is still rehabbing for the Blue Jays squad, returned the favor with an RBI single of his own in the bottom of the inning. Brock Tibbitts scored from third after he had walked and advanced on a wild pitch. Blue Jays pitcher Eduar Gonzalez was effective, after a rehabbing Eric Pardinho came out of the game. Gonzalez went 3.2 innings, not allowing a run, only giving up three hits and two walks, while striking out two. The Blue Jays had a chance to get the walk-off win in the bottom of the seventh after Yorman Licourt walked and David Beckles was hit by a pitch to start the inning. Unfortunately, Aldo Gaxiola hit into a double play and Enmanuel Bonilla flew out to end the scoring threat. In the top of the eighth, an RBI single gave the Tigers squad a lead of one. In the bottom of the inning, the first batter, Andres Arias continued his power barrage with a walk-off blast. The fifth home run of the season for the 18-year-old. Andres Arias- 1-3, 1 R, 2 RBI, 0 BB, 2 K, 1 HR Eduar Gonzalez- 3.2 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 2 K F-BLU (10), F-TIG (4) - 7/14 Box Score In one of the highly anticipated games of the FCL season, Alek Manoah made his season debut. It was a rehab start returning from Tommy John surgery he had in 2024. It did not go well, as he let the first four hitters reach base safely. He gave up a single, threw a wild pitch, walked a hitter, hit another, and walked a second one. He finally got an out via a strikeout swinging, but he was done after hitting his pitch limit. The results can just be pushed aside and excused, as it was great he got through his pitches and showed some good velocity sitting around 94 MPH and hitting 95 MPH. The Tigers team would go on to score four in the inning to take control of the game with a big lead. Dariel Ramon started the Blue Jays comeback in the second inning with a sacrifice fly and Josh Kasevich added a bases loaded walk. In the fourth, Ramon again drove in a run with an RBI double and Dylan Leach tied the game with an RBI single. In the seventh, the Blue Jays charged out in front with five runs, the only hit driving in the runs was an Andres Arias double. The rest scored on a balk, a walk, a groundout, and a wild pitch. The Blue Jays team would go on to win this one 10-4. Aldo Gaxiola- 4-5, 2 R, 1 RBI, 0 BB, 0 K Easton Lucas- 3 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 4K DSL Blue Jays Blue D-BJB (2), D-BJR (4) - 7/12 Box Score Saturday morning was another game where both Blue Jays squads faced off against each other down on the island. BJR was the away team and took advantage of that by getting on the scoreboard right away in the top of the first inning. Kennew Blanco singled home Juan Sanchez to get the scoring started. Juarlin Soto committed an error a few batters later, allowing Blanco to score. Nicolas Vergara would then walk with the bases-loaded, giving BJR the 3-0 lead out the gates. BJB cut into the lead in the bottom of the sixth inning, when Blanco drew a bases-loaded walk himself and Yeicer Crespo grounded out, scoring Carlos Garcia and cutting the BJR lead to one. Randy Soto would add an insurance run in the eighth with a bases-loaded walk himself, as BJR took this head-to-head matchup 4-2. Franklin Rojas: 2-3, 1BB Michael De La Cruz: 4 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 4 BB, 1 K D-BJB (4), D-GIO (7) F/7 - 7/14 - Game 1 Completion of 7/7 Game Box Score BJB was up 2-1 when the game was suspended back on July 7th. Trailing 3-2 in the bottom of the sixth, BJB got an RBI triple from Esmeiquel Arrieche that scored J.T. Bain. Two batters later, Franklin Rojas singled home Arrieche to give BJB the lead. From there, the BJB bullpen faltered and GIO scored four runs in the top of the seventh inning to take the game 7-4. Esmeiquel Arrieche: 2-3, 1 R, 2 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 3B Manuel Suero: 5.2 IP, 4 H, 3 ER, 6 BB, 3 K D-BJB (2), D-GIO (3) F/7 - 7/14 - Game 2 Box Score In the second game on Monday, BJB took the lead first, when J.T. Bain was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. BJB evened the game back up at two with a Cristopher Polanco double, scoring Daniel Dominguez in the top of the fifth. In the bottom half of the inning, GIO scored a run on a single, which would ultimately be the game winner. They would win the game by a score of 3-2. Daniel Dominguez: 2-3, 1 R, 1 2B Cristhian Duarte: 4.1 IP, 3 H, 2 ER, 5 BB, 2 K DSL Blue Jays Red D-BJR (4), D-BJB (2) - 7/12 Box Score Saturday morning was another game where both Blue Jays squads faced off against each other down on the island. BJR was the away team and took advantage of that by getting on the scoreboard right away in the top of the first inning. Kennew Blanco singled home Juan Sanchez to get the scoring started. Juarlin Soto committed an error a few batters later, allowing Blanco to score. Nicolas Vergara would then walk with the bases-loaded, giving BJR the 3-0 lead out the gates. BJB cut into the lead in the bottom of the sixth inning, when Blanco drew a bases-loaded walk himself and Yeicer Crespo grounded out, scoring Carlos Garcia and cutting the BJR lead to one. Randy Soto would add an insurance run in the eighth with a bases-loaded walk himself, as BJR took this head-to-head matchup 4-2. Kennew Blanco: 1-3, 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 BB Edgar Gallegos: 5 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 3 K D-BJR (7), D-ANG (12) - 7/14 Box Score It was a wild game on Monday for BJR against ANG. BJR trailed ANG 8-0 heading into the bottom of the seventh inning. Luis Felipe drove in a run with a double, Elaineiker Coronado and Kennew Blanco each added one with a bases-loaded walk, and Randy Soto was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. In all, BJR scored four runs in the seventh and got back into the game. Unfortunately for BJR, they coughed up four runs in the next half inning and were right back where they started. In the bottom of the eighth inning, Juan Sanchez smacked a double that scored Felipe and Coronado lined a triple to right to score Sanchez. An error by ANG would lead to another run for BJR, but that was all they would get, falling to ANG 12-7.

You can see a full recap of the Blue Jays' Day One selections here. They selected JoJo Parker (Round 1) and Jake Cook (Round 3). You can check out our write-ups on Round 4 pick Micah Bucknam and Round 5 pick Tim Piasentin here, and in the rumors and notes section of the site. In the "middle" rounds of the second day of the draft, the Blue Jays opted to go for a quintet of college players, three of whom are pitchers. You can find analyses of each of their five picks from Rounds 6-10 below. And, as a reminder, you can find the full list of Blue Jays picks, signing status, and bios right here on our Blue Jays draft tracker. 6th Round: SS, Eric Snow, 21 (Auburn University) Snow hit .307/.403/.493 this past season at Auburn University. He added eight home runs and four stolen bases, while being very tactics-oriented at the plate. He only struck out 26 times to 25 walks and possesses impressive plate discipline and an advanced approach. He could move quickly through the farm system if he makes a strong debut. 7th Round: P, Dylan Watts, 20, (Auburn University) In what is likely a continuation of making under-slot picks to set up spending big on some high school players, the Blue Jays took Watts in the seventh round. A relief pitcher during his time at Auburn, he didn't find much success at the college level, only managing an ERA of 7.25 in two years for the Tigers. This past season he racked up 28 strikeouts in 28 innings, while putting up a disconcerting WHIP of 1.536. He's a big righty (6'2") with a projectable frame, but this feels like a big reach in the seventh round of the draft. 8th Round: P, Danny Thompson Jr., 22 (UNC Greensboro) Thompson Jr. Is another college relief pitcher the Blue Jays took in the early rounds of the second day of the draft. He had a 3.79 ERA in 23 games this past season. He is a multi-inning reliever with a proclivity for striking out hitters, notching 87 punchouts in 61 2/3 innings pitched this past season in college. He did start 20 games at the NCAA level, which could mean that Toronto aims to give him another chance in the rotation, but his control issues (135 walks in 261 1/3 career innings) could keep him in the bullpen long-term. 9th Round: P, Karson Ligon, 22 (Mississippi State University) Ligon struggled at times in college, posting a career 4.97 ERA over four years and two schools. There is a good bit of strikeout ability, but control problems and walks have been an issue as well (198 strikeouts to 102 walks in 206 1/3 career innings). Unlike the previous two selections, he is a surefire starter, having started 42 of his 56 college appearances, including all 15 in 2025 at Mississippi State. The Blue Jays will need to see how he fares the second and third time through the order at the lowest levels of the minors before making a final decision on his future path. 10th Round: OF, Austin Smith, 22, (University of San Diego) In 54 games at San Diego this past season, Smith managed a slash line of .353/412/.528. He is another player that has very good plate discipline, as he only had 17 strikeouts and 16 walks in 250 plate appearances. He only launched six home runs this past year, so expect him to be another contact hitter that needs to develop some power along his way up the minor leagues, especially since he stole only 13 bases in college and doesn't possess an elite outfield glove.

The Toronto Blue Jays selected Jake Cook with their second overall pick in the 2025 MLB draft. He is a 22-year-old OF/P out of Southern Mississippi University. He was ranked 111th overall on the Jay's Centre Mock Baseball Draft Board. Jake Cook Scouting Report from our draft expert Jamie Cameron: "Cook is an exceptional athlete with some of the better supplementary tools in the entire draft class and outstanding questions about the quality of his offensive profile. Standing at 6'3, 185 pounds, Cook is a wiry athlete with double plus speed. He's an absolute burner. This gives him outstanding range in the outfield, which is paired with a strong arm that should allow him to stick in center field for the foreseeable future. Offensively, bat-to-ball skills are the major headline here. A slap hitter, Cook has excellent contact ability, with a ridiculous 6.3 K% in 2025. There's little extra base impact to speak of. If Cook hits enough, the speed, defense, and bat-to-ball ability will give him a chance for a solid pro career. Cook hit .350/.436/.468 (.905) in 60 games for Southern Miss in 2025." Cook hit .350/.436/.468 in his only full season of hitting at the University of Southern Mississippi. His first season was spent as a pitcher and his second season he only got into four games in the field with no plate appearances. He has elite speed and defensive abilities in the outfield. Even though the stolen bases haven't shown up yet, expect that part of his game to grow. Likewise, he only hit three home runs this past season in college, but he has a very good projectable frame at 6-foot-3 and 185 pounds. With power slated to be a projectable project, contact ability is where he excelled. Only striking out 19 times this past season versus 31 walks. As of now, he projects as a contact hitting, plus defender with great speed in the outfield. What do you think of the selection of Cook? Let us know in the comments! View full article

Buffalo Bisons Buffalo (1), Rochester (3) - 7/6 Box Score In the final matchup of the series between Buffalo and Rochester, the fireworks were in the past, and it was a slow game. Anders Tolhurst got the start for the Bisons and put together a quality appearance, going five innings while only surrendering four hits, two earned runs, one walk, and striking out six. The runs came when J.T. Arruda singled home C.J. Stubbs in the second inning and Robert Hassell III homered in the bottom of the third. Earlier, Buffalo got on the scoreboard in the top of the third, when Rainer Nunez launched a 437-foot home run to center field. Arruda for Rochester again singled home a run in the sixth to give the Red Wings a two-run lead. Orelvis Martinez walked in the eighth inning for the Bisons to put two runners on, but Yohendrick Pinango and Ali Sánchez struck out to end the threat. Buffalo would only get six hits in the game and went on to lose 3-1. Rainer Nunez - 2-4, 1 R, 1 RBI, 0 BB, 0 K, 1 HR Anders Tolhurst - 5 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 1 BB, 6 K New Hampshire Fisher Cats New Hampshire (10), Portland (5) - 7/6 Box Score Sunday was Trey Yesavage day for those that follow the minor leagues closely. He made it through the first two innings, surrendering just a double to Ronald Rosario in the second. The third inning again proved to be his downfall, as he walked a batter and coughed up a single and a sacrifice fly. Then, in a much-anticipated matchup against James Tibbs III, he let a fastball catch too much of the plate, and it was rocketed over the center field wall for a two-run home run. New Hampshire was still in a good spot, having already scored two runs before Yesavage got roughed up; Gabriel Martinez had an RBI double in the first, and Jackson Hornung added an RBI groundout in the third. Charles McAdoo is on another planet lately, and he would tie the game up at three in the top of the fifth with his ninth home run of the year and his fourth long ball of the week. New Hampshire was not done in the fifth, adding a two-RBI single from Jacob Sharp and an RBI single from Alex Stone. In the bottom half of the inning, Tibbs would walk, followed by an Allan Castro home run, cutting New Hampshire's lead to one. With the game still separated by one run, Peyton Williams broke it open in the eighth with a big three-run blast to right field, scoring Ryan McCarty and Hornung. McCarty then added another run for good measure in the ninth on an RBI double. New Hampshire battled to take this one 10-5. Peyton Williams: 3-5, 2 R, 3 RBI, 1 HR Nate Garkow: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 K Vancouver Canadians Vancouver (4), Everett (3) - 7/6 Box Score The Canadians and Everett faced off for the last game of the series, and it came with a bunch of homers combined from both sides. Teddy McGraw started for the AquaSox, and after a Cutter Coffey double, Sean Keys drove in the first run with a single in the first inning. McGraw went three innings before being taken out for Evan Truitt, who gave up a homer to Carter Cunningham right after coming into the game to give the Canadians a 2-0 lead. Jackson Wentworth faced trouble in the fifth inning, walking a batter, then giving up a hit before allowing a three-run homer to Carson Jones, but he got out of the inning. Eddie Micheletti Jr. picked up his starter, tying the game up immediately with a homer in the top of the sixth, and when he came up to bat again in the eighth, he hit his second homer of the game to win the contest for the Canadians. Eddie Micheletti Jr. - 2-4, 2 R, 2 RBI, 2 HR Micheletti capped off a hot week with a two-homer day, one to tie the game up and another to win the game for the Canadians. This performance earned him MiLB Hitter of the Week for the Northwest League, as the Virginia State product is now tied for first in the Blue Jays' minor league system in home runs with 14. Jackson Wentworth - 5 IP, 6 H, 3 ER, 1 BB, 3 K Wentworth went five innings or more for the third appearance in a row. He’s been finding a bit more consistency recently, although the strikeout stuff is a little on and off. The righty pitched four scoreless innings before getting out of a shaky fifth inning. Dunedin Blue Jays Dunedin (1), Lakeland (8) - 7/6 Box Score Johnny King took the mound for the Dunedin Blue Jays and struck out four batters in two innings of work. However, he faced traffic in his second inning and gave up three runs. Eminen Flores also gave up three runs, putting the D-Jays in a hole early despite JR Freethy’s leadoff home run. Silvano Hechavarria pitched three strong innings, giving up only one run and striking out six batters, but the D-Jays did not score after the first at-bat of the game, as they went out quietly against the Lakeland Tigers. JR Freethy - 1-4, 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 HR, 1 SB Freethy came back from an extended IL stint and rehab appearance and quickly had himself a homer in his first game back. Silvano Hechavarria - 3 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 6 K The 22-year-old Cuban has been strong to start his non-Rookie Ball professional debut. In this game, he pounded the zone with a 72.3% strike rate. His fastball velo wasn’t sitting in the mid-90s like it normally does, but he generated a 61.5% whiff rate with his cutter in a dominating performance. FCL Blue Jays F-BLU (0), F-YAN (5) - F/7 - 7/7 - Game 1 Box Score The first game of the doubleheader between the Blue Jays' and Yankees' squads was a nightmare for the Blue Jays' team. The Yankees' team got out in front with a home run and two runs in the second inning. The home run was a solo shot from Santiago Gomez to left field. A steal of home in the third, an RBI single in the fourth, and an RBI double in the seventh would give the Yankees' team a 5-0 lead. They would go on to win by that score because they no-hit the Blue Jays' team over the seven innings. The Jays only reached base four times on walks. Dariel Ramon - 0-1, 0 R, 0 RBI, 2 BB, 0 K Amir Garrett - 1 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 0 K F-BLU (6), F-YAN (7) - F/8 - 7/7 - Game 2 Box Score The Yankees' team jumped out in front in the second game of the doubleheader, scoring two runs in the second inning again. This time, the runs scored on two wild pitches. David Beckles put a ball in play in the third inning that scored a run on an error by the third baseman. Also in the inning, Aldo Gaxiola hit an RBI single and Andres Arias walked with the bases loaded to give the Blue Jays three runs in the frame. An RBI groundout to the pitcher in the fourth gave the Blue Jays' team the lead, 4-2. In the eighth, an RBI double from Arias and a run scoring on a wild pitch brought their lead back to two. In the bottom of the eighth, things would unravel for the Blue Jays' squad. Luis Escudero walked with the bases loaded and then Gabriel Terrero hit a double, bringing in two runs and giving the Yankees the walk-off win. Andres Arias - 1-2, 0 R, 1 RBI, 2 BB, 0 K Eduar Gonzalez - 3 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 1 BB, 4 K DSL Blue Jays Blue D-BJB (1), D-GIO (0) F/7 - 7/7 - Game 1 Box Score Monday morning saw BJB take on the Orange team from the San Francisco Giants organization. The hits were few and far between in the game, as BJB would only score one run and record one hit on the day. In the fourth, Franklin Rojas was hit by a pitch and advanced to second on a wild pitch. Angel Guzman grounded out, moving Rojas to third. Rafael Flores would then smack a ball to left field for a sacrifice fly. That was all BJB would need, as Cristhian Duarte went six innings, only coughing up four base runners from three hits and a hit by pitch. BJB won the light offensive game 1-0. Rafael Flores: 0-1, 1 RBI Cristhian Duarte: 6 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 K D-BJB (), D-GIO () - 7/7 - Game 2 Suspended DSL Blue Jays Red D-BJR (1), D-NAT (3) - 7/7 Box Score BJR got the scoring started in the top of the first inning, as Juan Sanchez tripled to lead off the game and then scored on Elaineiker Coronado's groundout. Their next scoring opportunity came in the top of the seventh inning, down 3-1. Randy Soto and Pascual Archila walked, followed by Nestor Urbina being hit by a pitch to load the bases up with no outs. Nicolas Vergara struck out looking, and then the game went into a rain delay. Coming out of the stoppage, Luis Felipe and Renyel Campos both struck out to end the scoring threat. In the top of the ninth, BJR had another opportunity, but it ended before it could start. Urbina was thrown out at third base trying to turn a double into a triple, as BJR fell 3-1, striking out 15 times in the game.

Buffalo Bisons Buffalo (13), Lehigh Valley (3) - 6/28 Box Score The Saturday matchup between Buffalo and Lehigh Valley was a wild and crazy one, with lots of action on the field. In the bottom of the first inning, an error from the Lehigh Valley shortstop allowed two runs to score for Buffalo. It was the beginning of a day to forget for the IronPigs’ fielders. They would commit eight errors in the game. Four from their shortstop, two from their first baseman, and one each from their third baseman and right fielder. To go with the free bases from errors, Buffalo also had their hitting shoes on, racking up 13 hits in addition to eight walks. Yohendrick Pinango had a big hit in the fourth inning, a double to left field, which brought in a run. In the sixth, Phil Clark broke the floodgates open with a huge grand slam to right field. From there, Buffalo would go on to win 13-3. Phil Clarke: 2-5, 1 R, 5 RBI, 0 BB, 0 K, 1 HR, 1 2B Lazaro Estrada: 5.2 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 7 K Buffalo (4), Lehigh Valley (3) - F/10 - 6/29 Box Score In the finale with Lehigh Valley, Buffalo continued to come up with big hits. Things were quiet until the IronPigs put up two runs on the board in the fourth and fifth innings, by way of an RBI single and RBI triple. In the bottom of the fifth, Josh Rivera put Buffalo up by one with his third home run of the season, a three-run shot. In the eighth, a Rafael Lantigua single tied the game up at three. In the top of the tenth, Andrew Bash pitched a clean inning to hold Lehigh Valley scoreless. Buffalo would have Will Robertson come up to bat in the bottom of the tenth with a runner at third base. He laced a line drive to right field for the walk-off win and celebration. Josh Rivera: 1-3, 1 R, 3 RBI, 1 BB, 0 K, 1 HR Adam Kloffenstein: 6 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, 6 K New Hampshire Fisher Cats New Hampshire (5), Hartford (6) - 6/28 Box Score As Saturday's game between New Hampshire and Hartford progressed, it came with big highs and lows for Fisher Cats fans. New Hampshire kicked things off in the top of the first inning. Ryan McCarty led the game off with a solo shot to left field. In the third, New Hampshire manufactured a run with a walk by Jacob Sharp, a McCarty single, then back-to-back fly outs, moving Sharp to third and then home. Jace Bohrofen's double in the fifth scored McCarty, who had singled the at-bat before, giving New Hampshire a 3-0 lead. On the flip side, Devereaux Harrison threw another gem, going five scoreless innings, walking three, and giving up two hits. He struck out six and generated a whopping 14 swing and misses. After Harrison gave way to Rafael Sanchez, the highs of the day started to swing south. New Hampshire gave a run back in the sixth on a Benny Montgomery RBI groundout. The Fisher Cats got that run back and added one in the next half inning, with Jackson Hornung singling home McCarty, and Bohrofen scoring on Peyton Williams’ ground out. The bottom of the eighth proved to be a turning point in the momentum of the game, as Hartford scored three runs to cut the lead down to 5-4. Then came the bottom of the ninth. Harford got a walk from Braiden Ward, and Kyle Karros ended the game with a walk-off blast to left. New Hampshire gave this one away, 6-5. Ryan McCarty: 3-4, 3 R, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 HR Devereaux Harrison: 5 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 3 BB, 6 K New Hampshire (5), Hartford (7) - 6/29 Box Score Juaron Watts-Brown took the mound on Sunday in an effort to try to prevent an extended losing streak for New Hampshire. He did his part, throwing a stellar four innings, not giving up a run, striking out five, and walking one. The bats, however, were more than quiet while Watts-Brown was in the game; they went down in order, 12 up and 12 down. Williams broke the perfect game up in the top of the fifth inning, and despite getting another single by Dasan Brown, New Hampshire did not score. In the bottom half, Bryant Betancourt's groundout produced the first run of the game for Hartford. Two three-run blasts in the bottom of the seventh, by Jose Torres and Zach Kokoska, gave Hartford a 7-0 lead. New Hampshire mounted a comeback in the eighth, getting runs on RBI singles from Alex Stone, McCarty, and Hornung. Williams’ double in the inning brought the score to 7-5, but Cade Doughty and Brown struck out, ending the rally. New Hampshire couldn't get anything really going in the ninth and fell 7-5 to Hartford. Ryan McCarty: 2-5, 1 R, 1 RBI, 0 BB, 1 K Juaron Watts-Brown: 4 IP, 4 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 5 K Vancouver Canadians Vancouver (4), Tri-City (2) - 6/28 - Game 1 - Final/7 Box Score Vancouver and Tri-City faced off for a doubleheader, as a previous game was postponed due to poor weather. Fernando Perez continued to pitch well, and through the first three and a half innings, no team had scored. Je’Von Ward hit an RBI triple in the bottom of the fourth inning to score Cutter Coffey to start off a big inning, where Hayden Gilliland reached on a throwing error to score Ward, and then Victor Arias hit a single to right field that was deflected by Randy De Jesus, which allowed Eddie Micheletti Jr. and Gilliland to both score. Cutter Coffey: 1-1, 1 R, 2 BB Fernando Perez: 5 IP, 8 H, 2 ER, 0 BB, 3 K Perez made his third straight start of five or more innings pitched with two or fewer earned runs. He faced a lot of traffic, as he gave up a lot of hits, but was able to not walk anybody and limited the damage. Vancouver (3), Tri-City (4) - 6/28 - Game 2 - Final/9 Box Score After they won the first game of the doubleheader, the Canadians' offense sputtered. Starter Edinson Batista let in three early runs in the first and second, and in the fourth inning, the Canadians tied it up at three with Nick Goodwin and Nicolas Deschamps contributing. The bullpens for both teams were excellent, as it took until the top of the ninth for the game to budge from a dead tie. Jonathan Todd threw a couple of wild pitches with the ghost runner on in the ninth to allow a run to score, and then the Canadians couldn’t answer back, resulting in an extra-innings loss. Sean Keys: 1-4, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 2B Javen Coleman: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 4 K Coleman earned a promotion to High A after former teammate Colby Martin was sent to Miami. He struck out four batters in his first appearance without allowing a single run. The lefty continues to showcase strong strikeout stuff. Vancouver (0), Tri-City (1) - 6/29 Box Score After the close loss in extra innings in the second game of the doubleheader the day before, the Canadians again lost a close one to Tri-City, this time getting shut out by the Dust Devils pitching. Khal Stephen was excellent again for Vancouver with another strong start, but the offense could not pick him up after he let in a run on a sacrifice fly in the top of the sixth inning before he was lifted for Chay Yeager, who struck out two batters in 1.2 innings. Aaron Munson was also strong, with two innings of scoreless baseball and four strikeouts himself. No Canadians hitter had an extra-base hit, as they went quietly into the night. Sean Keys: 2-4, 1 BB, 1 K Khal Stephen: 5.1 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 8 K The second-rounder continues to impress in Vancouver, with not much else that he needs to prove. In fact, Stephen has a lower ERA in seven starts at High A (1.73) than he had in seven starts at Single A (2.06 ERA). He should advance up to Double-A New Hampshire to join fellow 2024 draft classmate Trey Yesavage sooner rather than later. Dunedin Blue Jays Dunedin (5), Bradenton (4) - 6/28 Box Score On Joey Votto bobblehead night, the D-Jays clutched up a tight one against Bradenton. Colby Holcombe pitched decently, but allowed the first runs of the game to score on the only hit he gave up, a two-RBI double from Richard Ramirez to put the Jays down early. Connor Overton entered on a rehab assignment after Holcombe was taken out and allowed another run in the top of the sixth inning to cushion the Marauders’ lead. However, the D-Jays started to rally, with Kendry Chirinos preventing the shutout with an RBI single to score Alexis Hernandez in the bottom of the sixth inning. Johan Simon gave a run back in the top of the seventh on an RBI double from Joel Mendez, but the Jays fought back again, this time with Sam Shaw hitting an RBI triple and Tucker Toman scoring Shaw with an extra base hit of his own. Jack Eshleman came in for the top of the ninth and didn’t allow a hit with two strikeouts, and after a Peyton Powell single, a wild pitch by Jonawel Valdez, and a walk from a rehabbing Alex De Jesus, Hernandez hit a huge double to walk it off for the D-Jays. Alexis Hernandez: 3-5, 2 R, 2 RBI, 1 2B Hernandez had his best game of the season with his first three-hit night of the year, including a walk-off double. He has been a solidly above-average hitter for the Dunedin Blue Jays after being activated from the IL. The minor league Rule 5 pick has been showing strong contact ability with his third multi-hit game in the past five. Colby Holcombe: 4 IP, 1 H, 2 ER, 3 BB, 3 K Holcombe allowed two runs despite allowing only one hit, as he struggled with his command. This was the third outing in a row in which he pitched four innings and gave up two earned runs. Dunedin (3), Bradenton (3) - 6/29 Game Suspended at 3-3, will continue July 25. Johnny King: 3 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 4 BB, 6 K King made his Low-A debut, striking out six batters in three innings. He did struggle with runners on base as he allowed a few steals early, and he also walked four batters. Still, it was a successful non-rookie ball debut for the 2024 third-round pick. FCL Blue Jays F-BLU (2), F-YAN (1) - 6/28 Box Score Samuel Colmenares led the charge in this one, pitching well over six perfect innings. He struck out five batters and gave way to Amir Garrett, who struck out four over two innings. He relinquished the lone hit of the day for the Yankees squad, a home run in the eighth inning. The Blue Jays' team would score on a wild pitch to tie it back up at one. In the ninth, Juan Rosas came to the plate and hit a single to right field for the walk-off win. Dariel Ramon: 2-3, 1 R, 0 RBI, 0 BB, 1 K, 1 2B Samuel Colmenares: 6 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 5 K DSL Blue Jays Blue D-BJB (2), D-GIO(10) - 6/28 Box Score On Saturday, BJB completed a game that was suspended on June 16 against the Orange team from the San Francisco Giants organization. The game was all GIO, except for in the sixth when BJB scored their two lone runs of the game. Cristopher Polanco led off the inning with a walk, followed by an RBI double from Rafael Flores. Back-to-back groundouts from Juarlin Soto and Endry Reyes scored Flores. The rest of the game was a blowout, as GIO racked up 10 runs on 13 hits, including two home runs, en route to the easy 10-2 win. Rafael Flores: 1-3, 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 2B Manuel Suero: 2.2 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 K D-BJB (1), D-WSX (5) F/7 - 6/30 Box Score After only managing two hits on Saturday, Monday was somehow worse for BJB. They were facing the Chicago White Sox's DSL team and walked eight times in the game, but were no-hit in the seven-inning affair. They did score a run in the seventh, on an error that ultimately ended the game with Flores getting thrown out at second base. BJB struggled mightily, losing this one 5-1. Franklin Rojas: 0-1, 2 BB Geremy Barroso: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 K DSL Blue Jays Red D-BJR (7), D-ARB (3) F/7 - 6/28 Box Score BJR had two really good innings in their game against the Black team of the Arizona Diamondbacks. In the top of the third inning, BJR got a two-run blast from Juan Sanchez, his third home run of the season. Down 3-2 in the sixth, BJR broke the game open with a monster five-run inning. Luis Felipe singled in Randy Soto and Pascual Archila, followed by Renyel Campos taking a bases-loaded walk, Sanchez getting hit by a pitch to bring in Felipe, and Elaineiker Coronado grounding out to score Wilmer Blanco. The big inning was enough for BJR to hold on and win 7-3. Juan Sanchez: 2-3, 1 R, 3 RBI, 1 K, 1 HR, 1 SB Johandi Medina: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 0 K D-BJR (7), D-GIB (4) - 6/30 Box Score BJR faced GIB Monday morning, and the game came down to one big inning. In the bottom of the sixth, BJR got two runs from Nestor Urbina's single and another run on Felipe's double. Sanchez capped off the scoring barrage with a three-RBI double and gave BJR the 6-4 lead. Reyes singled in an insurance run in the eighth, as BJR took this game 7-4.

The June voting for the Jays Centre Top 20 Prospects list is complete, and we have some movement and a few new faces joining the rankings. The minor league system has taken a leap forward this season, with many great developmental stories and prospects rising from the depths of the organization. Let's first take a look at the prospects who made some notable moves within the rankings. Risers Johnny King 12 to 7 Gage Stanifer 13 to 10 Juaron Watts-Brown 19 to 15 Fallers Jake Bloss 6 to 12 New Faces 11. Yohendrick Pinango, OF, 23, Buffalo Yohendrick Pinango was acquired in 2024 from the Chicago Cubs in a deal that saw Nate Pearson go the other way. When he first took the field for Double-A New Hampshire last season, Pinango saw his numbers tumble compared to the ones he had with the Cubs' Double-A affiliate. His batting average over 33 games was just .179, to go with an OBP of just .244. It was a rough debut season for him, but he showed a good ability to hit the ball hard and displayed some solid plate discipline at times. This season, Pinango has made a night-and-day transformation in his statistical profile. Over 47 Double-A games, he had a 170 wRC+, which was one of the best in the minor leagues at the time he was promoted to Triple A. A big change he made was increasing his walk rate to 14.1%, pulling the ball more, and increasing the frequency with which he was hitting the ball in the air. Following his promotion to Triple-A Buffalo, he has maintained his plate discipline by continuing to walk close to 14% of the time and lowering his strikeout rate. He is even hitting more line drives, and his ISO is at a good mark of .239. His batting average has dropped to .239 as well, but the sample is still small, and his BABIP suggests some bad luck, down at .241. Pinango has been known for being a good hitter with high exit velocities, but one who hits the ball on the ground a lot. His continued success in limiting groundballs should help him take advantage of his good quality of contact. Power should develop more and more, especially if his average exit velocity remains in the 93 mph range that he has at Triple A and his launch angle stays around its current 15.1°. Look for him to push toward a major league debut around the end of the season or in 2026. Stats in graphic updated prior to games on June 24. Find Pinango on our Top 20 Prospects list: 17. RJ Schreck, OF, 24, Buffalo RJ Schreck joined the Toronto Blue Jays organization in 2024 in the trade that sent Justin Turner to the Seattle Mariners. He is another prospect who displays great plate discipline, with high walk rates and good strikeout rates for a hitter. In 41 games at Double-A New Hampshire this season, the 24-year-old outfielder had a slash line of .266/.396/.518, to go with nine home runs, five stolen bases, and a 15.7% walk rate. Like Pinango, he was one of the better hitters in the minor leagues before his promotion to Triple A, hitting to a 166 wRC+. Through nine games at Triple-A Buffalo, he already has two home runs and nine hard-hit balls. Schreck doesn't have the high-end exit velocities of a Yohendrick Pinango, but he hits the ball in the air a lot. Schreck is in the 93rd percentile of the minor leagues for line drive plus fly ball rate. If he continues to display solid contact skills, great plate discipline, and power on pulled fly balls, he could be one of the next Blue Jays prospects to get a call to the big leagues late in the 2025 season. His outfield versatility will let him push for playing time in 2026. Stats in graphic updated prior to games on June 24. Find Schreck on our Top 20 Prospects list: 19. Sam Shaw, 2B/OF, 20, Dunedin Sam Shaw was selected by the Blue Jays in the ninth round of the MLB draft in 2023. That year, as an 18-year-old, he would get into nine games in the FCL. He would only hit .207, but had an OBP of .425. This foreshadowed the type of hitter he would be: one who excels with high on-base rates and low strikeout rates, and whose hit tool is developing. In 2024, he repeated the FCL and managed to have a .361 OBP, despite only hitting .220. His plate discipline was superb, as he struck out just 10% of the time and walked at a 16.7% rate. He wasn't displaying much power though, only hitting two home runs on the season. In 2025, it appears the hit tool is coming around, even though he has moved on up to Single-A Dunedin. There, he has hit .266/.412/.441 with seven home runs, eight doubles, and a triple. He has similar strikeout and walk rates, at 18.6% and 19.5%, respectively. He has a 147 wRC+ on the season and is pushing towards a promotion to High-A Vancouver. Shaw isn't the biggest player, standing just 5-foot-10 and 180 pounds, but he uses very good swing decisions paired with above-average launch angles to hit the ball in the air. He has the profile to be a Sean Keys, Alan Roden, and Spencer Horwitz type of hitter down the line. As mentioned, expect him to move up to High-A Vancouver in the near future, where he will look to continue to develop power, add better exit velocities to his game and work his way up the minor league ladder. Stats in graphic updated prior to games on June 24. Find Shaw on our Top 20 Prospects list: 20. Victor Arias, OF, 21, Vancouver The Toronto Blue Jays signed Victor Arias out of Venezuela as part of the 2019 international free agent class. He made his debut in the minor leagues as part of the 2021 Dominican Summer League. He would spend two years there before moving stateside and playing in the FCL for a season. In all three years, he was an on-base machine with walk rates above 16% and approaching 20%. A high strikeout rate between 24% and 30% was the nagging downside to his hitting profile. In 2024 and this year, he has improved in that area above all others, seeing his strikeout rate hover around 20%. His walk rates have remained high as well, in the 11% range, allowing for his top-level hands to generate some insane bat speeds and exit velocities. This season at High-A Vancouver, he has taken the next step and started putting everything together, including his approach at the plate and his swing decisions, patience, allowing him to destroy the baseball. He has a slash line of .307/.395/.458, with four home runs, 14 doubles, and three triples. Arias has a unique swing from the left side that sees him load up and unleash everything he has on the baseball. This has helped to fuel some of the best exit velocities in the minor leagues. According to Baseball America, as of May 16, he had a 93 mph average exit velocity on the season and a 90th percentile exit velocity of 110.1 mph. That's truly a double-plus raw power profile. He has a smaller frame at 5-foot-9 and a listed 150 pounds, but he gets all he can out of his swing. It can even look a little softball-like at times. He may need to tone down the viciousness of the swing and get it under control more as he moves up levels, but he is making it work right now. Expect him to move up to Double-A New Hampshire very shortly and get tested against more advanced pitchers. If he can start elevating the ball more, he should see his prospect status skyrocket, a little in the same manner and path Pinango has taken this year at the upper levels. Currently, Arias only has four home runs this season, but that number could rise quickly with some more adjustments, as he moves up in the minor leagues.
