Complete recap of the Blue Jays 2024 MLB Draft picks

Compensation round: Nick Mitchell
Position: OF
School: Indiana University
B/T: L/R
Age: 20

Mitchell joins the Blue Jays as a compensation pick the club received after Matt Chapman's departure. In his lone season at Indiana, he hit .335 and walked (40) more than he struck out (36) and is considered a strong base-stealer. Mitchell has experience all around the outfield but he was primarily used as a right fielder last season.

4th round: Sean Keys
Position: 3B
School: Bucknell University
B/T: L/R
Age: 21

Keys is known for his offensive prowess more than anything else. Last year for Bucknell, he hit 13 home runs with 57 RBI in just 46 games. He also hit .405 with a 1.333 OPS, leading the league in hits and doubles while ranking second in RBI and third in home runs. He's another player that has a strong eye at the plate, and while he's tabbed as a third baseman for now, his future landing spot is surely on the other side of the diamond at first.

3rd round: Johnny King
Position: SP
School: Naples High School (Florida)
B/T: L/L
Age: 17

King is a left-handed starter who has "potential plus stuff", and is seen by many as one of the early-draft steals by the Blue Jays. He stands at 6-foot-4 and is already reaching up to 95 mph on his four-seam fastball. As a senior in high school, King went 8-1 with a miniscule 0.73 ERA while striking out 110 batters in just 47.2 innings of work. That'll play.

2nd round: Khal Stephen
Position: SP
School: Mississippi State University
B/T: R/R
Age: 20

Ranked at No. 88 out of MLB Pipeline's top 250 draft prospects, Stephen went 8-3 with a 3.28 ERA and 107 strikeouts in 96 innings last year for the Bulldogs. MLB's Jim Callis said, "In terms of having a feel for four different pitches, I think he was one of the better pitchers in college baseball. His fastball, curveball, slider and changeup are all effective and he throws strikes." He was a high-leverage reliever for Purdue in the recent past, but he made the transition to MSU ace in a short time and is surely a starting pitching prospect to keep an eye on moving forward.

1st round: Trey Yesavage
Position: SP
School: East Carolina University
B/T: R/R
Age: 20

Yesavage landed at No. 11 in MLB Pipeline's top 250 and is widely regarded as one of the top steals of the draft. The Blue Jays made out good with this pick, as Yesavage had a 2.03 ERA with 145 strikeouts in 93.1 innings this past season, which is especially solid since he pitched in such an offense-heavy environment. Jays Journal prospect guru Matthew Rowell has a great, in-depth analysis of Yesavage here.
