The Athletic article: [h=1]Blue Jays see potential for more power in first-round draft pick Arjun Nimmala[/h] The Blue Jays selected high-school shortstop Arjun Nimmala with the No. 20 pick in this year’s MLB amateur draft. At age 17, Nimmala is one of the youngest players in this year’s class, and the Blue Jays are betting that he’ll mature into even more power. The Blue Jays’ amateur scouting director Shane Farrell said the team favoured the shortstop out of Strawberry Crest High School in Dover, Fla., because of his “tool package combined with the age and overall upside.” “The power, the arm strength, the actions defensively, playing at a premium position, that all makes him a really exciting player and somebody I’m really, really happy to get into the farm system,” said Farrell, who spoke to the media from the Rogers Centre’s draft headquarters shortly after making the pick Sunday night. Nimmala was ranked No. 8 on The Athletic’s Top 100 prospects. The 20th pick comes with an approximate slot value of $3.75 million. Keith Law wrote of the 6-foot-1, 170-pound shortstop, “Nimmala is a lean 6-1 and already shows above-average power with a strong swing that makes excellent use of his hips to generate that contact quality. He’s a rangy shortstop with good hands and an easy plus arm, and although he’s probably just an average runner in the end, he’s certain to stay at the position long-term.” From Valrico, Fla., Nimmala lives about a 50-minute drive away from the Blue Jays’ spring training complex in Dunedin, so the team’s scouting staff have had plenty of opportunities to meet with him and watch him play regularly over the past year. Farrell said the organization has built “a strong relationship with Arjun” and he’s already visited the team’s state-of-the-art player development complex. “There is a level of familiarity for a high school player, which is a bit different and a little unique, and we think that transition is going to go well,” Farrell said, adding the club feels “pretty good” about their ability to sign him. If there are questions about Nimmala, it comes around his present hit tool. Law noted that he’s shown “more propensity to swing and miss than his peers but seems to hit velocity fine.” He still has the potential to develop into a player who can hit, play good defence and hit for more power, but with “a slightly longer timeframe and greater risk around his ability to hit when he enters pro ball.” There is always a risk when selecting a player as young as Nimmala, who has plenty of growth — both physical and mental — ahead of him, but Farrell said, “We think he’s going to fill out and be a strong and mature individual and that power is going to continue to grow and can continue to translate to game production as well.” Nimmala isn’t a big-bodied slugger, yet he batted .479 with six home runs and posted a .573 on-base percentage as a high school senior. In a recent profile on Nimmala, The Athletic’s Maria Torres spoke to his high school coach, Eric Beattie, who said, “I don’t think I’ve ever seen anybody hit with the same amount of power that Arjun hits with.” “He works hard and he’s gotten the most out of where he’s at right now,” Beattie told The Athletic. “He’s gotten the most out of it, but very few people reach their full build at 17 years old. He’s got a lot of growing in front of him and he goes about the process the right way. I think the average male, based on the general population, usually peaks at 26, 27 years old. So he’s still 10 years away. … When you think about that, it’s gonna be fun to watch.” Assuming he signs, the immediate next steps for Nimmala will be to participate in a two-week camp for the new crop of prospects at the Jays’ player development complex. There, they’ll be introduced to the organization’s player development staff and get a feel for the club’s programming and routines. Following that, Farrell said, Nimmala will “likely transition to a (complex league) team and get his summer season underway.” As for the rest of the draft, the Blue Jays do not own a second-round pick after they forfeited it with the offseason signing of right-hander starter Chris Bassitt, who had rejected a qualifying offer from the Mets. The Blue Jays’ next pick will come in the third round, at No. 89.

He's coming for you

Nice EASY win! Well done Jays!
