The Toronto Blue Jays<\/a> have built a strong farm system, which continues to receive recognition.<\/p>\n

Trey Yesavage<\/a>, Toronto’s top prospect, took the No. 12 spot on MLB Pipeline’s list, and is the only player in the top 100 with World Series experience. The six-foot-four righty became a Toronto post-season hero during his first foray in the Majors, pitching 27.2 playoff innings, going 3-1 with a 3.58 ERA.<\/p>\n

Yesavage jumped up from No. 26 on last year’s edition. He is the third-ranked pitcher in 2026, behind No. 6 Nolan McLean (Mets), and No. 11 Bubba Chandler (Pirates).<\/p>\n

Toronto’s two young shortstop prospects, Jojo Parker and Arjun Nimmala, also cracked MLB Pipeline’s list, ranked 45th and 77th, respectively.<\/p>\n

Parker was the Jays’ first-round pick in 2025, and was ranked 62nd on Baseball America’s list. Nimmala, meanwhile, was a 2023 first-round pick, and hit .224 with 13 home runs and 61 RBIs for high-A Vancouver in 2025.<\/p>\n

Pirates shortstop Konnor Griffin led the list for the second straight year, followed by Tigers shortstop Kevin McGonigle. Brewers infielder Jes\u00fas Made jumped to the No. 3 spot, trading places with Athletics shortstop Leo De Vires, who fell to fourth.<\/p>\n

Cardinals infielder JJ Wetherhot rounded out an infielder-heavy, mostly unchanged top-five.<\/p>\n

Outfielder Owen Caissie, who was recently acquired by the Miami Marlins, was the highest-ranked Canadian on the list, 42nd overall. The Burlington, Ont., native recorded five hits, including a home run, in 26 at-bats for the Chicago Cubs in 2025, spending most of the season in triple-A.<\/p>\n

Markham, Ont., native Jonah Tong came in at No. 48. The New York Mets pitcher spent most of 2025 in double-A, but made five Major League starts late in the year, posting a 7.71 ERA over 18.2 innings.<\/p>\n

The Seattle Mariners led the league with seven prospects on the list, followed by the Cleveland Guardians with six. Six teams tied for third, with five prospects each.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Toronto Blue Jays have built a strong farm system, which continues to receive recognition.
