Starting Pitchers
Nate Pearson (22) – Fastball: 70 | Slider: 55 | Curveball: 45 | Changeup: 50 | Control: 45 | Overall: 55
Pearson is arguably the best pitching prospect in the Blue Jays’ farm system. Armed with a fastball that can hit triple digits and a wipe out slider to complement it, the sky is the limit for Pearson. There are a few question marks about his durability – he has a screw in his right elbow and missed most of 2018 with a non-displaced fracture of his ulna – and control, but if Pearson can show that he can stay healthy, expect a meteoric rise in the very near future.
