The Toronto Blue Jays selected Danny Jansen with the 475th overall pick in the 2013 draft. This is the same draft in which Mark Appel was famously picked over Kris Bryant to start off the draft. Jansen was selected out of Appleton West High School in Wisconsin and jumped right into the Gulf Coast League. He played in 36 games and batted .246. A slow start for the talented catcher but showed a good approach at the plate as he walked 21 times vs 10 strikeouts. This approach to hitting would become the solid foundation of what was to come.
