Breaking down the Jays' picks 11–20 from the 2025 MLB Draft

With the first three rounds of the draft concluding on Monday, the Toronto Blue Jays made out like bandits, getting arguably the best offensive infield prospect in the draft, and added a toolsy outfielder who has 80-grade speed.

In rounds 4-10, they dipped their toes into the pitching prospects pool, coming out with several intriguing college arms, while adding some pop. Canadian born infielder Tim Piasentin was an absolute ball masher during his high school years and could be a dark horse draft choice when we look back on this years crop.

The Blue Jays rounded out the 2025 draft with a mix of high-upside arms and polished college bats in rounds 11-20 with a breakdown below.

Jared Spencer
Round: 11
Position: Pitcher
Age: 22
Throws: Left
School: University of Texas

The Blue Jays kicked off the back end of the 2025 Draft by selecting their 5th pitcher. This time, it's a 22-year-old lefty from the University of Texas. Spencer gets the job done by using a mid-90s fastball (but can touch 98), and a mid-80s sweeping slider and changeup. With the Longhorns this year, Spencer threw to a 3.27 ERA while striking out 11.9 per 9 innings over a 52-inning span.

Blaine Bullard
Round: 12
Position: OF
Age: 18
Bats: Switch
Throws: Left
School: Klein Cain HS (Texas)

With the 352nd pick in the draft, the Jays selected outfielder Bullard, a switch-hitting high schooler from Houston. Bullard's bat-to-ball skills are impressive, as he's able to spray the ball to all fields. Scouts are also a fan of his speed, which translates to good routes in the outfield.

Trace Baker
Round: 13
Position: Pitcher
Age: 21
Throws: Right
School: UNC Wilmington

Baker mostly worked out of the bullpen for UNC Wilmington. That being said, he earned First-Team All-CAA honours in 2024 after making five saves while posting a 2.24 ERA over 52.1 innings. He displays a three-pitch mix, featuring a fastball that tops out at 96. He complements it with a sweeper and changeup in the low-80s, although he mainly sticks to the fastball-sweeper combo.

Noah Palmese
Round: 14
Position: Pitcher
Age: 21
Throws: Right
School: Webber International University (Fla.)

The Blue Jays added to their pitching in this year's draft with Palmese, who was deservedly named the 2025 NAIA baseball Reliever of the Year. He dominated with 13 saves while striking out 65 hitters in 45.1 innings, and he did so by featuring an electric four-pitch mix, consisting of a 92-94 fastball, 90-91 sinker, 80-84 slider, and a 85-86 splitter.

Jake Casey
Round: 15
Position: OF
Age: 22
Bats: Left
Throws: Right
School:Kent State

Casey mashed the ball this year by using his full 6'2", 190-pound frame, which led to All-MAC First Team honours. He posted a 1.236 OPS and hit 17 home runs during his final season at Kent State.  Over this span, the lefty-hitting outfielder slahed .356/.500/.736 while displaying his above-average arm strength.

Jaxson West
Round: 16
Position: C
Age: 21
Bats: Left
Throws: Right
School: Florida State University

The 21-year-old, who was one of two catchers selected in the late rounds this year, has a great eye at the plate. Although he posted just an.680 OPS in 46 games for Florida State this year, he worked a 16 percent walk and 8.5 percent strikeout rate. His arm strength is solid behind the dish, and he notably threw out two runners on the basepaths against Duke in the ACC Championship game.

Jordan Rich
Round: 17
Position: OF
Age: 18
Bats: Left
Throws: Left
School: American Heritage School (Fla.)

With the 502nd overall pick, the Jays selected the 18-year-old outfielder from Florida. Rich posted a 1.216 OPS and stole 38 bases at American Heritage. He can fly out there, as he ran a 7.05-second 60-yard dash. Overall, Rich slashed .393/.493/723.

Will Cresswell
Round: 18
Position: C
Age: 21
Bats: Right
Throws: Right
School: Washington State University

Cresswell, the second catcher selected by the Jays this year, had a massive season for the Washington State Cougars. He slashed .329/.404/.523 while hitting 13 doubles, five home runs and 43 RBI. He was also able to gun down an MWC-best 19 runners. Cresswell seems to be the catcher with the higher upside over Jaxson West.

Luke Kovach
Round: 19
Position: Pitcher
Age: 22
Throws: Left
School: Cal Poly

In the 19th round, the Blue Jays went for their last pitcher, a lefty from California Polytechnic State University. Kovach missed all of 2024 due to Tommy John surgery, but he returned in 2025 to throw just 8.2 innings. In his short stint, he fanned 17 batters and posted a 7.27 ERA in five outings.

Ty Peeples
Round: 20
Position: OF
Age: 18
Bats: Left
Throws: Right
School: Franklin County HS (Ga.)

With the last pick in this year's MLB Draft, the Jays selected an 18-year-old outfielder from Georgia. Peeples is a top prep outfielder in this year's class, as he has displayed tons of raw power from the left side. On the defensive side, he plays a corner outfield spot and has displayed solid arm strength.
