Toronto Blue Jays No. 2 prospect JoJo Parker will have some company in Single-A Dunedin, as the club has promoted shortstop Juan Sanchez.
According the MLB.com's Keegan Matcheson the Toronto Blue Jays have promoted No. 7 prospect Juan Sanchez to Single-A Dunedin.
No. 7 prospect Juan Sanchez is joining the Single-A Dunedin Blue Jays, per source, where he'll join No. 2 prospect JoJo Parker. Potential for this to be a special duo coming up through the minors together. People around the organization are extremely high on Sanchez.
Sanchez will join top prospects JoJo Parker, and Blaine Bullard
Juan Sanchez has the highest ceiling of any position player prospect in the Blue Jays system.
Baseball America's Geoff Pontes raved about the Dominican 3B/SS, stating that Sanchez could be Blue Jays top international signing since Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
He and JoJo Parker will be a dynamic duo in the D-Jays infield.
The 18-year-old posted a 1.004 OPS in the Dominican Summer League last year.
He had 16 doubles & 8 HR with a 78.5% Contact% & 9.9% SwStr%. Sanchez's overall slash line is very impressive: .341/.439/.565 in 56 games. Plus power and a very strong arm at third base, per Pontes.
JUAN SANCHEZ CLEARS THE BASES WITH A 3 RUN DOUBLE THAT CAME OFF THE BAT AT 105.6 MPH AND TRAVELED 379 FEET! 18 YEARS OLD.
The Blue Jays are having Sanchez bypass the Florida Complex League completely and sending him straight from the DSL to full season ball in Low-A.
That should tell you exactly how they feel about him.
With JoJo Parker, Blaine Bullard and now Sanchez, the Dunedin Blue Jays are probably the must-watch lineup for Blue Jays prospect fans these days.
They're a formidable trio, it's going to be fun to watch.
