18th round: Holden Wilkerson
Position: SP
School: Virginia Military Institute
B/T: R/R
Age: 21
Thanks to a blood clot in his pitching arm, Wilkerson's 2024 season was limited to just four starts. In that time, he posted a 1-2 record with a 7.85 ERA and 29 strikeouts in 18.1 innings of work. As his high school career came to a close, Wilkerson sat between 89 and 92 mph on his four-seam fastball. Today? It's up to 96.
17th round: Gavin Smith
Position: SS
School: Valley Christian High School (Arizona)
B/T: R/R
Age: 18
Smith is a bit of an unknown, as there isn't much public information available on him. He's a two-time Arizona Offensive Player of the Year winner and is coming off of an incredible 30-game showing in his senior year. Smith posted a .472 batting average with 21 walks versus nine strikeouts, driving in 40 runs and scoring 51 of his own.
16th round: Colby Martin
Position: RP
School: Southeastern University
B/T: R/R
Age: 23
An infielder up until last season, Martin was drafted as a relief pitcher by the Blue Jays. He made 17 collegiate relief appearances in 2024, posting a 4.41 ERA with 31 strikeouts and 11 walks in 16.1 innings. He has a past Tommy John surgery under his belt already and a deal with the Padres last year fell through because of it, but his fastball has hit 102 mph and he's got a 12-6 curveball that pairs nicely with the heater.
15th round: Jonathan Todd
Position: RP
School: Western Carolina University
B/T: L/R
Age: 22
Another relief pitcher, Todd struck out over 12 batters per nine innings in his last year in college. The right-hander is the fourth player ever to be taken by the Blue Jays out of WCU. 2024 was his first year as a back-end reliever and he earned seven saves along the way with a 4.00 ERA in 36 innings, making himself a potential future closer.
