With a top five pick in this year’s MLB draft, the Blue Jays have a chance to add a star to their minor league system. Theoretically that could happen in any round, but with only four teams picking ahead of them this year, there’s an exciting opportunity here.
As we’ve talked about before here at Jays Journal, part of the Blue Jays’ draft strategy will be dictated by who is selected ahead of their pick, which could greatly alter their desired plans. I think it’s safe to say that neither Spencer Torkelson or Austin Martin are going to fall to the #5 spot in the draft, but things could play out in a variety of different ways after the top pair.
