Baseball fans, we’re getting closer and closer to spring training. Although it’s not regular season baseball, Spring Training has some redeemable qualities of its own, such as giving fans a look at up-and-coming prospects.
It also means we get a ton of lists (Who doesn’t love lists) of every team’s top prospects.
One of the more respected lists that comes out every year is from MLB pipeline, and today, they released their top 30 Blue Jays prospects.

Not long ago, it seemed the Blue Jays’ farm system was pretty barren. Now, with four prospects in the MLB’s top 100, they are starting to show some real promise, especially from the batters box. It’s been a long time since the Blue Jays have churned out premiere homegrown talent at the dish, so this would be a nice surprise for Blue Jays fans.
