Blue Jays' teenage top prospect turning heads with massive power, promotion to Double-A on the horizon

On Sunday, 19-year-old infielder Arjun Nimmala blasted his 13th home run of the season on a ball which was crushed so far the left fielder did not even pretend to make an attempt to go get it.

A three-run homer as part of a four-RBI day for top Blue Jays prospect Arjun Nimmala wasn't enough for the Canadians in a 7-5 defeat versus the Hillsboro Hops [AZ] in front of a sellout crowd at The Nat.

Trey Yesavage has deservingly received a ton of the attention as he has mowed his way from Single-A all the way up to a promotion to Triple-A on Monday, which could lead to his big league debut this season.

While Yesavage is rapidly making his climb though, Nimmala is a bit farther away even know he continues to dominate.

Nimmala's four-RBI game matched a season high for the Valrico, FL native. The power though for such a young player is incredibly encouraging, and Nimmala is a couple of hot weeks away from seeing a promotion to Double-A.

the Blue Jays are not rushing Nimmala along at all and giving him every opportunity to improve before they ask him to take the next step in what will be the most significant increase in competition of his career.

If Nimmala can finish the season strong though and get to Double-A at the latest by early next season, he's on the exact right track the organization wants and expects him to be. Keep an eye on how he finishes the season, because it could be a major indicator as to where he's at by this time next year.

Nimmala is expected to be the future though, and his latest moonshot just reinforced why.
