Toronto Blue Jays switch-hitting outfield prospect Blaine Bullard is expected to make his pro debut in 2026.
The Blue Jays selected Bullard 352nd overall in the 12th round of the 2025 draft.
Like many prep players, Bullard's high school statistics should be taken with a grain of salt.
The outfielder is expected to make his professional debut with the Florida Complex League Blue Jays in 2026.
The 19-year old switch-hitter stands at 6'2», 180 lbs. After the Blue Jays selected him, the two parties agreed to a signing bonus of just under $1.7 million, the largest bonus for a 12th-round pick in history.
The Blue Jays gave out the highest ever signing bonus in the 12th round of the MLB draft, with $1.7 million to switch-hitting OF Blaine Bullard.
Plus speed with an above-avg glove in the outfield, the 19-year-old can raise his ceiling offensively as he adds on size.

Switch-hitting outfielder has plus speed, bat-to-ball skills, high baseball IQ
The Texas native ranked as MLB Pipeline's 14th-best Blue Jays prospect in the mid-season update, and opinions are divided on the outfielder.
Some believe he has good bat-to-ball skills from the left and right side, while others question how he'll do against better competition.
He's a ground ball hitter who sprays the ball, but there's encouraging speed in his bat with projection remaining in his frame.
Bullard owns plus speed and knows how to use it on the bases and in the outfield. He displays good instincts in center field and should be able to remain there in Toronto's system.
He has average arm strength and could handle all three outfield spots if needed.
