Josè Rodriguez is a 6'6" mountain of a righty with an unorthadox delivery. His high 80s chanegup with 10" of armside run has generated a ludicrous 68% whiff rate in AAA in 2026. 4-seam sits 96.5 with bad shape. Sinker at 96 with 15" of run and a slider with a 37% whiff rate.

Varsho 3 run HR? Nah. Okamoto 3 run HR? Nah. Kirk PH RBI single? Nah. Vladdy game tying single? Nah. This Nathan Lukes catch to save three runs from scoring in what was a 3-0 deficit at the time is the play of the game today.

This is Ernie Clement personified. Gets the bat to 99 up and above the zone, and legs out an infield single. Dude's just a ballplayer.

This swing by Vladimir Guerrero Jr resulted in a batted ball of 99.1 MPH off the bat and 383 feet worth of distance. There are only a handful of humans capable of this kind of strength. Good. God.

I've watched this plate appearance more times than I care to admit. That's a Hall of Fame closer right there. That's 100 MPH in on his hands off the plate. This was a 9 pitch at bat. Brandon Valenzuela is different man.

Arjun Nimmala has homered again. 1.097 OPS in his last 14 games. He's crushing AA as a 20 year old while playing sterling SS defence. He is the NO DOUBT #1 prospect in the system.

Addison Barger reaches out and one hands this backdoor slider 101.6 MPH off the bat with a distance of 385 feet. Just absurd strength. His ceiling is in the stars. Can't wait to see what year 3 has in store for my undisputed favorite Blue Jay.

This is unreal opposite field power from Arjun Nimmala. 108.9 MPH off the bat. Absolute no-doubter. Rarely do you see the RFer barely move on a ball hit by a RHH. Nimmala accomplished that. Stupid power. .855 OPS in AA for the Blue Jays #1 prospect.

The Blue Jays are selecting Arizona State LHP Cole Carlon at 39. Ranked #33 on Baseball America's top 500 big board, Carlon features an upper 90s fastball that sits 96 and has touched 101. His power slider is a 70 grade offering that generated a 56% miss rate. Monster two pitch mix while toying around with a upper 70s curve and high 80s changeup which need refinement. He will need to find a third pitch and refine his command to remain a starter but the stuff is off the charts.

Brett Bateman is a similar offensive profile to Southisene (shocker). He's an elite runner, and can play a strong CF. No power to speak of but a sound plate approach. (17.3 BB%/18.8 K%) in AAA along with a .351 xwOBA. His defensive prowess in CF will do the heavy lifting.

Jesús Sánchez strikeout rates and percentiles since 2022: 2022: 26.8% (17th) 2023: 26.6% (23rd) 2024: 26.1% (23rd) 2025: 22.1% (46th) 2026/7 PA's: 0.0% (100th) The Blue Jays have made deliberate changes to Jesús Sánchez's stance as previously noted in an effort to have him stand more upright and have less moving parts in his swing. The more vertical bat from a year ago is still apparent as is him standing more upright. Then we have today. Sánchez got ahead in the count 3-0 thanks to not chasing and trying to force the issue. He gets the green light because he has prodigious power and proceeds to detonate on 96 at the very bottom of the zone from Morales. This was not a cookie right down the middle. This was a good pitch. It didn't matter. Sky's the limit for this guy as he enters his athletic prime at 28 years old.

Tyson Hardin is the guy I'm targeting from the Brewers in potential Kevin Gausman trade talks. 24 year old starter who's already at AAA. Here's a detailed breakdown of his stuff profile courtesy of BA. It's a low release slot with good extension. Stuff plays up and misses bats. Slider in particular which has the shape and movement profile of a sweeper really intrigues me. 2436 RPM with -13.8" of HB coming in at an extremely flat VAA (-7.3). Profiles as a potential SP4 with the potential for more.
