Blue Jays Nation's 2026 Pre-Season Prospect Countdown - No. 34: Javen Coleman
"Born in Sherman, Texas, Coleman began his collegiate career with the Louisiana State Tigers in 2021. Appearing in 14 games, he pitched 32.2 innings with a 5.79 ERA. The 2022 season saw Coleman pitch just six innings over three outings, then 14 innings over eight outs in 2023, as the Tigers went on to win the College World Series. The 2022 and 2023 seasons were impacted heavily by Tommy John surgery."
"Beginning his season with the Single-A Dunedin Blue Jays, Coleman pitched in 20 games, owning a 4.45 ERA and 3.65 FIP in 28.1 innings pitched, with a 36.3 K% and 13.7 BB%. Once joining the High-A Vancouver Canadians, his numbers improved drastically, finishing the season with a 1.40 ERA and 1.15 FIP in 25.2 innings pitched, thanks to a 40.4 K% and 6.1 BB%."
Coleman signed as a non-drafted free agent after the 2024 draft and made his professional debut in 2025. He recovered from Tommy John surgery that limited his 2022 and 2023 college seasons and returned to pitch for LSU in 2024. Coleman began 2025 in Single-A Dunedin, recording a 4.45 ERA, 36.3% K rate, and 13.7% walk rate across 28.1 innings. After promotion to High-A Vancouver, he posted a 1.40 ERA, 40.4% K rate, and 6.1% walk rate in 25.2 innings. His 38.1% system K% and 27.8% K-BB% ranked among the Blue Jays' top relievers in 2025.
