The Toronto Blue Jays organization has been excited this spring training to watch there young prospect Arjun Nimmala ascend in the organization to become their elite top prospect.
The 19-year-old shortstop is ranked 86th overall in the MLB pipeline's top 100 all of the raw ability and upside to become the Blue Jays best player in their farm system in a very short period of time.

Nimmala was drafted in the 2023 MLB draft, first round 20th overall. He had struggled early on in the 2024 campaign with the Single A Dunedin team which is viewed as a test for any infielder looking to move up in the ranks.

His season turned around quickly after working with the coaching staff extensively giving him ideas and ways to help improve his game which showed in his stat line.
The work with the coaching staff clearly paid off, returning to Dunedin and hitting 13 homers with a .265/.331/.564 slash line over 53 games to close out the year.
Every young player likely enters pro ball having never never endured a long string of failure before in the sport. It was impressive to see Nimmala turn his season around after going through his struggles so early on in his career. Chris Georges

My goodness, Arjun Nimmala
This Spring Training has shown a different Nimmala
This spring training has shown the Blue Jays organization and coaching staff that Nimmala has the makings to becoming a potential superstar for this team in the near future.
Despite not having a chance to make the opening roster this year, this time with Major League Baseball coaching and being around professional athletes who have played in the league for years will give him valuable experience and takeaways that will help grow his game as there will be openings in this roster in the very near future.

The Blue Jays also do not want to rush this prospect as he will need time to develop and mature despite his numbers that he is showing today as he has hit four home runs in six games.
Looking down the road, Nimmala has the chance to be a unique star in Toronto based on his background. In the 2023 draft, he became the first Indian-American player to be drafted in the first round, setting himself up to become the first player of Indian decent to play in the Major Leagues.
