With the Top 40 list of the Toronto Blue Jays farm system complete, we continue to go beyond with a few lists of players who didn’t quite crack the list for 2023, but were in the mix and worth...
Brock was drafted in the 6th round last year as a senior from Ohio State, signing well for $67,500 . He didn’t pitch a lot for them, striking out a fair number of batters when he did but also struggling with control. That may have allowed the Jays to unearth significant value.
That deployment was somewhat surprising given Svanson most obviously profiled as a short reliever with a mid-90s sinking fastball and slider. Listed at 6’5” and 235 pounds, it’s the classic power profile and he piles up the ground balls . He could fit as a serviceable middle reliever, and was in the mix for thr back of the list on that basis.
In 2022 I mostly saw him with New Hampshire, and beyond the line he didn’t look as good. There was a lot of pitching backward, using a ton of offspeed pitches with the odd fastball mixed in. But the quality of said offspeed was the bigger issue. While they had plenty of movement, it wasn’t crisp and the slider and change-up ran together and were hard to tell apart .
