Blue Jays Prospects rank back to back in latest MLB Pipeline Top 100
Toronto Blue Jays prospects Arjun Nimmala and Trey Yesavage are the two Blue Jays that rank in MLB Pipeline's latest Top 100.
MLB Pipeline released their top 100 preseason list, featuring the two Blue Jays prospects ranked back-to-back.
Their 2023 first-round pick Arjun Nimmala ranks 87th overall while their 2024 first-round pick Trey Yesavage ranks 88th overall.
Nimmala is currently ranked the No. 5 prospect in the organization by MLB.com.
Nimmala batted .296 with an .871 OPS and five home runs across his 22 games of action in last August. The 18-year-old's 29 hits and 53 total bases led the circuit.
After Nimmala's first full season in the organization, he has improved his plate discipline, and is already slightly ahead of what the Blue Jays anticipated when they drafted him.
According to his scouting report, Nimmala has a ton of strength and still has projection remaining.
The hit tool lags behind his power tool while his approach leads to some swing and miss. Nimmala also has a strong arm and may be able to stick at shortstop.
Unlocking his power is the priority, as it is the defining factor in his success.
As of now, Nimmala stands out as the most exciting position-player in the Blue Jays farm system.
Trey Yesavage, the Toronto Blue Jays' most recent first round pick still has plenty of hype surrounding him entering 2025.
Yesavage, 21, has yet to make his professional debut, however he was the consensus No. 3 college starter in 2024 behind Hagen Smith and Chase Burns, and after some rumblings that he could go inside the top 10 in the draft, he ended up slipping all the way to the Blue Jays at No. 20 overall.
Yesavage enters the professional ranks with a solid four-pitch mix that developed over his three seasons at East Carolina.
His MLB Pipeline profile notes that his fastball sits 93-95 mph with carry, while also featuring a plus slider and splitter.
Yesavage also features an average curveball and average command with a menacing 6'4», 225 lbs frame.
It's worth noting that Baseball America's Geoff Pontes is a little bit higher on the Jays' farm system than most, ranking five prospects in his Top 100.
Add in the fact that the Blue Jays have the eighth overall pick in the 2025 draft, and the farm system is on the up and up.
All it needs is a little bit of development, and it'll be in great shape.
