Which Blue Jays prospect will make their MLB debut next?

Spencer Horwitz

Of all the candidates to make the cut, Spencer Horwitz is probably the one that is most “bat”-ready for the major leagues at this point. He has had a fine season so far with the Bisons, carrying a strong stat line of .326/.450/.437, 16 runs scored, a home run, 24 RBI, three stolen bases, as well as showing great plate discipline and contact. He could potentially give a boost to the Jays’ bench with his bat, in addition to providing effective spot starts when needed. However, his main positions are first base and the outfield, which are currently occupied by everyday star players. So for now, unless one of them goes down due to injury in those positions, Horwitz will likely have to wait a little longer for his chance.

Yosver Zulueta

Yosver Zulueta is an interesting case for the Jays. He is currently ranked 3rd on the Jays’ Top Prospects list and has the potential to be a solid rotation or bullpen piece on the roster, as he is being prepped in both roles currently at Buffalo. With a fastball that could reach triple digits consistently, Zulueta represents the greatest flamethrower the Jays currently have in their organization. In spite of that, he has shown some inconsistency in his control and command with the Bisons thus far, pitching to an 0-2 record with a 5.03 ERA, 1.83 WHIP with 19 walks and 21 strikeouts in just 19.2 innings pitched. Once he hones his craft, he will definitely be a valuable asset on the major league roster, but for now, he may not be ready just yet.
