Last season, the Toronto Blue Jays had the fifth selection in the amateur draft after posting one of the worst records in 2019 at 67-95, with only four teams performing below the rebuilding organization. The 2020 amateur draft was organized differently due to COVID-19, with there only being five rounds compared to a normal 40 round process due to the financial strain of the shortened season having on organizations across the league.
