The Blue Jays will begin their drafting rounds at #112 overall, with rounds 4-10 remaining as slotted picks and 11-20 allowing bonuses not to count against the pool. Historically, the Jays targeted college hitters earlier on day two with a high-upside play. Recent reviews on Jojo Parker are optimistic, while Jake Cook is viewed as a potential top performer with room for development due to his athleticism. The drafting process will continue with further updates as picks occur.
In the recent past, the Jays would usually go for a run of college hitters early on day 2, typically with a lone higher bonus upside play.
The reviews of the Jojo Parker pick seem pretty positive, with Baseball America picking him as one of their best player/team fits.
Keith Law describes Jake Cook as 'the type of guy the Dodgers take in the fourth round and a year from now he's on the top 100 list.'
Bucknam was previously selected by the Jays out of high school in the Fraser Valley in the 16th round having popped up draft boards late.
