The Blue Jays History with Drafting High School Hitters

The Jays affiliates had a tough night, all of them lost, other than Bluefield who had to go to extra innings to win and Dunedin who were rained out. In addition to the game reports, I looked at the progress of the high school hitters the Jays have drafted in the last ten years.

There was some discussion in these parts recently about how the Jays are very conservative when it comes to promoting some of their young position prospects. Samad Taylor is a 19 year old in Lansing but most of the other position players are at least 20 years old.
