Another installment of the MLB Draft has come and gone for the Toronto Blue Jays. The club is ranked 24th in the league in MLB's latest farm system rankings, and it will be interesting to see how much this class moves the needle.

Toronto once again went a pitcher-heavy route, and they also continue to lean heavily on collegiate picks rather than ones out of high school. In fact, 16 of their 21 picks were out of college. Typically, the Blue Jays like to play it "safe" by going with players who can get going in the minor leagues right away.

For those who weren't able to follow along (or perhaps keep up) with the festivities, we've put together a master list of all the players the Blue Jays selected. As always, just because a player is selected doesn't mean he's signed, so a handful of these players may opt to return to school rather than start their pro careers. Let's dive in.

Blue Jays 2024 MLB Draft recap

20th round: Bryce Martin-Grudzielanek
Position: SS
School: UC San Diego
B/T: R/R
Age: 21

Longtime followers of baseball will recognize that last name, as Bryce is the son of former MLB All-Star Mark Grudzielanek. Across his two collegiate seasons, Bryce appeared in 76 games, hitting eight home runs and driving in 53, boasting a .297/.388/.457 line with an .844 OPS.

Martin-Grudzielanek's 2024 season was cut short due to injuries, but he still hit .284 in 20 games. It sounds as if the Blue Jays are going to need to hand out some serious dough in order to sign him, otherwise he's going to head back to USC (H/T to the Canadian Baseball Network).

19th round: D'Marion Terrell
Position: 1B/OF
School: Thompson High School (Alabama)
B/T: L/L
Age: 21

Terrell stands at 6-foot-3 and he is mostly well known for his outstanding eye at the plate. He spent time at first base, in the outfield and on the mound during his time in high school and was above-average no matter where he went. Last year, he hit .426 with a .798 SLG at the plate and was 6-3 with a 2.12 ERA and .143 batting average against on the mound.

Word on the street is that Terrell committed to Auburn and is likely going to head there instead of signing with the Blue Jays, but I've heard some rumblings that that is not a sure thing just yet.
