April 1, 2023

The Toronto Blue Jays have made waves the past few years, and may be among the favorites in the American League in 2023. The impressive part is how sustainable it appears to be, thanks to impact talent coming through their system.

Alek Manoah, Valdimir Gurrrero Jr., Bo Bichette, Alejandro Kirk, Danny Jansen, Santiago Espinal, and Jordan Romano all developed from within, opening a otential championship window for the next several seasons.

But the Jays aren’t done producing young talent.

Ages as of July 1, 2023

RANK AGE PLAYER POS OFP
1 20 Ricky Tiedemann LHP 60

Tiedmann’s fastball-slider-changeup combo could dominate in the majors right now, but his command needs work before he arrives in Toronto.

RANK AGE PLAYER POS OFP
2 25 Yosver Zulueta RHP 55

It’s a huge fastball with a chance at three above-average secondaries for Zulueta, who may be able to help the Jays’ bullpen in 2023, and has ace reliever upside if he can’t start long-term.

RANK AGE PLAYER POS OFP
3 19 Brandon Barriera LHP 50

Barriera could have four pitches from his low three-quarters slot, including velocity into the mod-90s and a swing-and-miss slider.

RANK AGE PLAYER POS OFP
4 21 Orelvis Martinez SS/3B 50

Plus raw power leads the way for Martinez, and if he can handle the hot corner defensively it’s a traditional profile.

RANK AGE PLAYER POS OFP
5 23 Addison Barger SS/3B 50

The eventual move off shortstop wouldn’t do much to damper Barger’s potential, thanks to 60-grade raw power and a shot at league average on-base marks.

RANK AGE PLAYER POS OFP
6 19 Tucker Toman SS 50

The switch hitter has plus lefty power, and a chance stay up the middle as a bat-first 2B/SS in the mold of a Daniuel Murphy or Neil Walker.

RANK AGE PLAYER POS OFP
7 20 Dahian Santos RHP 50

Santos’ athletic frame projects well despite a lack of prototypical size (5listed at -11/160), and he’s already missing bats with above-average stuff in the lower minors.

RANK AGE PLAYER POS OFP
8 22 Cade Doughty 2B/3B 45

Doughty has impact power for a middle infielder, suggesting if he can stay at second there’s a chance he’s a regular within two years of the majors.

RANK AGE PLAYER POS OFP
9 22 Hayden Juenger OF 45

Juenger is a two-pitch righty up to 97 mph with a running fastball setting up an above-average slider.

RANK AGE PLAYER POS OFP
10 21 Josh Kasevich SS 45

He may not stick at short, but Kasevich makes a lot of contact and possesses the strength to develop average game power.

RANK AGE PLAYER POS OFP
11 20 Gabriel Martinez OF 45
12 22 Adam Macko LHP 45
13 17 Emmanuel Bonilla OF 45
14 24 Otto Lopez UT 40
15 21 Sem Robberse RHP 40
16 25 Spencer Horwitz 1B/OF 40
17 22 Adam Kloffenstein RHP 40
18 19 2B/SS 40
19 21 Estiven Machado 2B/SS 40
20 24 Hagen Danner RHP 40
21 22 Leo Jimenez 2B/SS 35
22 20 Adrian Pinto UT 35
23 23 Damiano Palmegiani 3B/1B 35
24 21 Irv Carter RHP 35
25 24 CJ Van Eyk RHP 35
26 21 Dasan Brown OF 35
27 21 Alex De Jesus SS/3B 35
28 24 Trent Palmer RHP 35
29 22 Rainer Nunez 1B 35
30 18 Luis Meza LHP 35
