"Yohendrick Piñango was seen as a back-end of the top 30 list at the time of his trade. After a poor performance, he broke out in 2025, slashing .298/.406/.522 with eight home runs in 192 plate appearances."
"Following the end of the 2025 season, the Blue Jays left Piñango unprotected for the Rule 5 draft, a risky move given his breakout season. It paid off for them, and he returned to the Bisons to begin the 2026 season."
"Piñango has always had solid underlying numbers, hitting the ball hard with a 91.9 mph average exit velocity and a maximum exit velocity of 115.4 mph, along with a 47.8 hard hit percentage."
The Blue Jays traded several players before the deadline, acquiring prospects that included Yohendrick Piñango. After a poor performance post-trade, Piñango excelled in 2025, leading to a call-up to Triple-A. Despite being left unprotected for the Rule 5 draft, he returned to the Bisons and has shown strong performance in the current season. Piñango's underlying numbers indicate he was previously unlucky, showcasing a high average exit velocity and hard-hit percentage.
