Jacob Wetzel and Ryan McCarty joining the Blue Jays system adds a thrilling layer of depth to our hungry minor league pipeline.
Every spring brings a fresh wave of hungry talent eager to prove themselves. We always love watching underdogs fight for a roster spot.
The front office knows that building a championship contender requires an army of capable reserves. Injuries happen and depth absolutely saves seasons.
Toronto just officially updated their transaction wire to reflect a couple of intriguing minor league assignments. This keeps the development train moving forward.
Jacob Wetzel (Age 25, Undrafted Free Agent, 2020 by Chicago Cubs) is an outfielder with a genuinely fascinating profile. His journey from the low minors is inspiring.
He spent a recent season battling through the minors and showing raw power. He posted a .253 average with 8 home runs and an .829 OPS.
These raw prospects represent the brilliant future of our organization
Fans are overwhelmingly pumped to see fresh faces getting a legitimate chance to shine in camp.
Ryan McCarty (Age 26, Undrafted Free Agent, 2022 by Toronto Blue Jays) brings a completely different but equally valuable skill set. He is a phenomenal utility piece.
We all remember his historic college numbers before turning pro. He dominated at the Division III level before climbing our system.
Last season he grinded through the high minors to hit .225 with 5 home runs and a .654 OPS. Those numbers will definitely improve with more consistent reps.
Having versatile guys who can play multiple infield positions is a massive luxury. Managers adore players who can seamlessly bounce around the diamond.
Both of these guys are heading into a massive developmental year. They have the raw tools to eventually force their way into the big league conversation.
Giving them quality reps against professional pitching right now is the smartest move possible. The player development staff will work their absolute magic.
Buffalo and New Hampshire fans should keep a very close eye on these two kids. They play the game with incredible passion and endless hustle.
Spring training is always about finding those hidden gems who can unexpectedly contribute. Let the boys play and see what magic happens.
