Blue Jays: 5 prospects to keep an eye on in the Spring Breakout

"JoJo Parker, the Blue Jays' first-round draft pick last summer and #2-ranked prospect, was named to the Spring Breakout roster, and this could be the first instance of Jays fans being able to see the young shortstop on the diamond. The Mississippi product didn't play in the affiliated ranks post-draft and has yet to suit up in a Spring Training game this year, which makes sense as he continues to take the very early steps in his pro career."

"During the 2025 international free agent signing period, Roki Sasaki dominated the conversation. While he ended up in Dodger Blue, the Jays ended up using that leftover bonus money on other prospects, one of which was infielder Juan Sanchez. Hailing from the Dominican Republic, Sanchez got his first taste of affiliated baseball last summer when he played for the Blue Jays Red squad in the Dominican Summer League."

The Blue Jays announced their 2026 Spring Breakout roster featuring 19 pitchers, three catchers, 10 infielders, and eight outfielders. The team will face the Philadelphia Phillies on March 21st in Clearwater, Florida, shortly after the World Baseball Classic concludes. Notable prospects include JoJo Parker, the #2-ranked prospect and first-round draft pick from Mississippi, who will make his first appearance in affiliated baseball. Parker possesses plus power and strong strike zone control. Juan Sanchez, a Dominican Republic infielder signed during the 2025 international free agent period, also made the roster after posting impressive statistics in the Dominican Summer League as a 17-year-old.
