It has not been a good season for the Jays players in the AFL. The pitchers in particular have had a tough time. Alex Amalfi has been starting, and he has not impressed. In five starts he has a 9.95 ERA. His WHIP is 2.37 and he has six K's in 12 innings.
Kai Peterson has an ERA of 7.36 and a WHIP of 2.18 and he is the best of the pitchers. Yondrei Rojas has an ERA over 30. Cey Yeager's WHIP is 2.39. Peterson has been named to the AFL all-star game roster despite his numbers. As a lefty he can be useful against left handed hitters.
Now the AFL is an offensive league, few pitchers have good numbers, but even so the Jays pitching has not done much in Arizona.
The hitting side is a little better. Cutter Coffey and Josh Kasevich are playing regularly, they both have over 50 at-bats. Coffey is hitting .269 with three doubles. His WHIP is .694 but that is below average in the offense heavy league. Kasevich is hitting .255 with no extra base hits. As usual he is walking a lot which helps his numbers but the AFL is generally a AA level league and Kasevich is a AAA level player. I know he has had some injuries in 2025 but his performance is disappointing.
Edward Duran is a taxi player, playing in just seven games so far. Duran has five hits but is hitting .192. Strangely all his hits have been for extra bases, two doubles and three triples. Three triples for a catcher is something!
Cade Doughty has just shown up in Arizona as a fill-in. He has only played in two games but he does have a home run. Three Blue Jay hitters have been there for a month without hitting a homer and Doughty shows up and hits one in his second game.
That's about it for the AFL news.
Baseball America will reveal their top 10 Blue Jay prospects on November 26. The Jays system is heavy in pitching prospects and light in hitting prospects, especially impact hitting prospects. The best ones are low in the system, Arjun Nimmala is in A ball, Juan Sanchez will come to the US next season, while Jojo Parker is just starting out. The back half of the top 30 will take a lot of work to sort out a group of not great, but maybe, prospects.
