Jansen among top 10 catching prospects

TORONTO -- Danny Jansen's stock is rising in the Blue Jays' Minor League system, and so is his ranking among some of the top prospects in baseball.

Jansen's strong showing last season secured him a spot on MLB Pipeline's updated list of the top 10 catching prospects. The 22-year-old is ranked eighth after hitting .323/.400/.484 across three Minor League levels in 2017.

Internally, the Blue Jays have been touting Jansen's upside since 2014, but it was last year that he established himself as Toronto's potential catcher of the future. He remained healthy for the first time and set personal bests in every major offensive category.
