Blue Jays may bring a familiar face to Tampa Bay next month

The Tampa Bay Rays will host the Toronto Blue Jays early next month, a weekday series that might not normally attract much excitement beyond the draw of a divisional matchup. This series, however, could feature a familiar face for St. Petersburg.

Bo Bichette, a product of Lakewood High School, is the son of four-time All-Star Dante Bichette. Now, with the promotion of Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Bichette is the top prospect in the Blue Jays’ minor-league system, per MLB Pipeline.

Bichette, a 21-year-old shortstop, was homeschooled while playing for Lakewood. He tested out other programs like IMG Academy, but decided to remain at his local high school.
