Blue Jays Nation's Top 25 Canadian Baseball Prospects for 2026: #19 Micah Bucknam

The 2025 draft wasn't the first time the Jays selected Bucknam in the draft. In the 2021 draft, the only Canadian team selected the right-handed pitcher from the Mennonite Educational Institute in Abbotsford, British Columbia. However, Bucknam elected to honour his commitment to Louisiana State University. Aside from pitching a summer in the MLB Draft League, Bucknam didn't pitch all that much in 2022. Instead, he made his college debut with LSU in 2023.

Blue Jays prospect hoping to outrun the Billy Hamilton comparisons

Speed is definitely a major component of his game as Cook has earned a scouting scale of 80 for his speed grade ahead of the 2025 MLB Draft. The Blue Jays would select the promising outfield prospect in the third round that year, No. 81 overall. But more importantly, he wants to show Toronto that his game isn't just about speed and that he could be a complete player. As per The Athletic, Cook would love to be "more like Byron Buxton" when he fully develops and matures, but that of course is still quite a ways away.
