Blue Jays: Jays Journal Top 30 Prospects List

#25 – Roemon Fields – OF

Roemon Field has been in the Blue Jays system since 2014. He had his best season in the organization this past year playing with the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons. In 103 games he batted .291 and showed the potential to be a decent leadoff man with his speed. He swiped 43 bags and was only caught 14 times. He was able to slash his way to a decent line at .291/.355/ .352 in a season that he would be named the Bisons MVP. Fields is in an odd position as there are a plethora of talented outfielders in the Jays system at the moment. He might be the odd man out when he might be deserving of an MLB opportunity.

Estimated 2018 starting point – Triple-A – Buffalo Bisons

#24 – Angel Perdomo – P

After a solid season in 2016, Angel Perdomo followed up with a solid effort despite some issues with health. He only was able to pitch 75.1 innings after having a 127 inning season with the Lugnuts the season before. In those 75.1 innings, he showed why he should be considered a top prospect. He threw a 3.70 ERA with 65 strikeouts. It was a solid showing while fighting injuries. He has three great pitches that allow him to keep hitters off balance.

Estimated 2018 starting point – Double-A – New Hampshire Fisher Cats

#23 – Reese McGuire – C

Reese McGuire is part of a talented group of young catchers that the Blue Jays have been assembling in their Minor League system. He was acquired from the Pirates as part of the Liriano package and had his first full season within the Jays system. McGuire was only able to suit up for 45 games this past season, but made the best of it when he was on the diamond. He hit .278 with six homers and 20 RBI. He then played in the Dominican Winter League and in 18 games he collected 13 hits. Maybe this is the season he puts it all together in the Jays’ system.

#22 – Dwight Smith Jr. – OF

Dwight Smith Jr. is fresh off a season in which he made his MLB debut. He continues to show why he is a possible outfield option for the Blue Jays as he continues to rise to each challenge he is presented. This past season with the Buffalo Bisons in Triple-A he batted .279 in 108 games and showed nice gap power with 21 doubles. He also picked up 10 hits in 27 at-bats with the Blue Jays. Smith is a big part of the plethora of outfield talent that the Jays have assembled over the past few seasons.

#21 – Jordan Romano – P

The now Florida State League Champion Jorday Romano put together another solid season as he threw 138 innings of great baseball for the Dunedin Blue Jays. He owned a nice 3.39 ERA while punching out 138 batters. He also allowed just 54 walks and posted a 1.413 WHIP. The native Canadian is starting to turn some heads and is looking to build upon yet another impressive season since being drafted in 2014.
