Graham Spraker

Relief pitcher Graham Spraker has silently posted solid numbers since being drafted by the Blue Jays in the 31st round of the 2017 MLB Draft.

He spent most of last season in AA with the New Hampshire Fisher Cats, amassing a 2.74 ERA with 62 strikeouts through 42.2 innings of work, but it was his play in the Arizona Fall League that started to turn some heads. With the Mesa Solar Sox, Spraker did not allow an earned run through 11 appearences while limiting opposing batters to just four hits while striking out 17 and making the Fall League All-Star team.

The Toronto Blue Jays have a few prospects that could find themselves on the active roster sometime in 2022, that is if they are still with the club.

The Jays did not add the Arizona product to the 40-man roster and he could also be picked up by another team via the Rule 5 Draft after his impressive 2021 campaign. He does have some experience at AAA (two apperances and 7.1 innings total) but many players have been drafted without having appeared in the highest level of the minor leagues.

This is one player that could find himself on a Major League roster next season, whether it be with the Blue Jays or elsewhere, especially if he can pick up right where he left off last season.
