Leo Jiménez, a 23-year-old middle infielder for the Toronto Blue Jays, is in his last option year and faces tough competition for utility spots. After a decent showing with the team, he recorded a .229 batting average in 63 games, but struggled with power. Jiménez's excellent minor league walk rate at .271/.416/.431 demonstrates skill, though the rise of other middle infielders like Andrés Giménez and Bo Bichette limits his playing chances. He’s a high-floor prospect likely destined for utility duties rather than a starting role.
Jimenez has been a skills-over-pure-tools player since he signed and thus considered a 'high floor' prospect given the defensive value and contact ability.
With the team's drive to get as many middle infielders as possible, Jiménez has a ton of competition to beat out for a chance at those limited utility-player at bats.
We view Jimenez as a likely utility player who might play himself into a lower end regular if everything comes together, with injuries being the biggest risk factor.
