The Toronto Blue Jays have a couple of the hottest prospects in baseball, but their farm system overall is lacking. That didn't change after the 2025 MLB draft.
Bleacher Report's Joel Reuter recently did his farm system rankings update across the league following the draft and the Blue Jays actually dropped two spots from No. 23 to No. 25.
They were surpassed by the San Francisco Giants and the Baltimore Orioles.
The eighth overall draft pick, JoJo Parker, is now their top prospect, and even he is considered just a Tier 3 player.
That means that he is a Top 100 prospect, which is a fair ranking for someone who was just drafted a few days ago.
Parker could end up at any of the infield spots outside of first base and has a great hit tool to go along with a solid arm. He has a nice lefty swing and is already at a 6-foot-2, 200-pound frame.
1. SS JoJo Parker (Tier 3)-2025 Draft Pick
2. RHP Trey Yesavage (Tier 3)
3. SS Arjun Nimmala (Tier 3)
4. RHP Khal Stephen (Tier 4)
5. RHP Juaron Watts-Brown (Tier 4)
6. LHP Ricky Tiedemann (Tier 5)
7. RHP Gage Stanifer (Tier 5)
8. LHP Johnny King (Tier 5)
9. LHP Kendry Rojas (Tier 5)
10. SS Josh Kasevich (Tier 5)
Yesavage and Nimmala are also Tier 3 prospects and both are having fantastic years. All three players should figure into the long term plays for Toronto.
Nimmala has already made it to High-A where he has posted a .237/.325/.418 slash line with 11 home runs and 38 RBI.
He now has 28 home runs and 17 stolen bases in his first 178 games as a professional. He's also just scratching the surface of his power potential.
The 21-year-old has posted a 3.19 ERA with 111 strikeouts in 67.2 innings across all levels.
Rounding out the top 10 are the following prospects, also in order: LHP Ricky Tiedemann, RHP Gage Stanifer, LHP Johnny King, LHP Kendry Rojas and SS Josh Kasevich.
