The Blue Jays had some encouraging news when they learned of the new Baseball America prospect rankings (subscription required), and how three of their players fared according to that scouting community. With Nate Pearson (#7), Jordan Groshans (#29), and Simeon Woods Richardson (#61) all moving up the list, and in the latter case appearing for the first time, it was an exciting day for the Blue Jays.
Pearson’s move up should come as no surprise, as he was one of the top minor league pitchers in baseball last year, and should debut sometime in 2020.
