Higgins is a senior and BA has no scouting report on him. This is likely a cost saving move by the Jays.

Twitter: Nolan Higgins is a fun arm, stuff is good, up to 98, and pounds the zone. He is a pure reliever and can move up the system quickly. Solid senior to grab.

Mitchell is another 4 yr senior who presumably will sign for $5,000. Neither BA nor MLB has a scouting report on him.

Twitter: Iowa @UIBaseball second baseman and @ICHSBaseball grad Gable Mitchell was drafted in 6th round today by Toronto Blue Jays. He has agreed to a contract with under-slot signing bonus (which was valued at $330,300). Will leave this week for Jays' complex in Dunedin, Fla.

West is an undersized, lefthanded-hitting corner outfielder who set the table at the top of UCLA’s loaded 2026 lineup for the entire season. West has very little physical projection at 5-foot-9 and 185 pounds, but he has a distinctly hitterish look in the box and pairs above-average feel for the barrel with minimal chase and sound swing decisions. That collection of skills allowed him to post OBPs above .400 in all three seasons in college, as well as a 10.3% strikeout rate and 14.4% walk rate. West has minimal power and is unlikely to have more than doubles pop, but he does have the skills to get on base. His profile would be more appealing if he was a no-doubt center fielder, but he has spent most of his time in left field for UCLA. West is an above-average runner who has gone 27-for-32 (84%) on the bases in his career. He should get a chance to prove his center field defense, but might be a better fit as a reliable defender in a corner, where his lack of power will be more apparent.

Another four year senior sign. You have pitchers, you need catchers. Again, no scouting report for Bennett.

Another senior sign with no scouting report.

Twitter: Great balance and rotation at the plate. 15 HR, can play all over the OF, good athlete, but I really love the swing profile, very back leg heavy and the power transfer stays on balance. Really fun swing profile.

The oldest player selected so far, a five year senior.

Twitter: Bryce Chance walked on to his childhood favorite team, redshirted and was told every year on social media that State would recruit over him. He refused to yield and now he’s a 10th round pick. What a dude!

The Jays go back to the junior ranks to pick a 3B, and Martin does have a Baseball America scouting report.

Martin has one of the most unique profiles in the 2026 draft class. He’s an elite contact hitter with some of the best pure bat-to-ball skills you’ll find, but he also comes with very little power and defensive profile questions. A 5-foot-11, 175-pound lefthanded hitter, Martin owns a career .314/.455/.380 slash line in three seasons with Maryland, including a 9.9% strikeout rate and 18% walk rate. He has an extremely passive offensive approach, swinging less than 30% of the time, and when he does swing he basically never misses. In 2026, he managed a 96% overall contact rate and 98% in-zone contact rate—both elite figures that are rare to see over the course of a full season. While his contact skills are exceptional, scouts wonder if his approach and lack of power will remain productive in pro ball. He has hit just five home runs in 167 games with Maryland with a metal bat, and in parts of three summers and 90 games with wood, he has zero. Martin is a plus runner who turns in 70-grade run times from home-to-first because he gets out of the box quickly, and he’s also gone 33-for-41 (80%) on the bases in his career. He’s spent time at third base and both corner outfield positions, but his arm is below-average and he might be fit best in left field—which could be a challenge given his lack of power.

Twitter: Maryland 3B Brayden Martin is a fun draft sleeper. The guy has a grand total of 9 whiffs all season across 163 swings. That's a sub-5% whiff rate. It's the smallest whiff% in D1 baseball among players that have seen at least 250 pitches this season.

Another Jr from LSU this time.

Baseball America: Garcia is a slightly undersized, 6-foot, 190-pound lefthander who spent his freshman season at Central Arizona College before transferring to Oregon in 2025 and LSU for his first draft-eligible season in 2026. The 21-year-old junior compensates for a modest frame with unusual angles and solid pitch shapes, both of which were evident on Wednesday in his final pre-draft appearance for Brewster. Garcia worked four scoreless innings, allowing four hits and two walks with three strikeouts while throwing 41 of 64 pitches for strikes. Garcia has a long arm stroke that extends below his hip as he sinks deeply into his back side. He then drives forward with aggressive layback, bringing the ball up behind his body and releasing from a high, over-the-top slot that creates distinctive plane. He threw his fastball roughly two-thirds of the time. The pitch sat 88-90 mph and touched 92 with run and carry, generating all six of his fastball whiffs at the top of the zone. His high release also gives the pitch steep angles when located down in the zone, where it showed more pronounced armside movement. Garcia’s velocity was down from the regular season, when he sat 92-93 and touched 96, though the fastball retained its underlying shape. Seventeen of Garcia’s 23 non-fastballs were 79-81 mph curveballs with big, downer action. He landed the pitch for eight called strikes, and the only ball put in play against it was a softly hit second-inning groundout. Garcia also flashed a mid-80s slider that he struggled to locate—both balls put in play against it went for hits—and a low-80s changeup with fade and tumble that separated well from his fastball and generated an in-zone whiff. Garcia has below-average control and struggles to repeat a complex delivery, with his arm slot drifting most noticeably on his breaking pitches. Still, his fastball has shown more power in the past than it did on the Cape, and its carry, his unusual release traits and his ability to spin the baseball give him the ingredients of an intriguing Day 2 flier with considerable developmental work remaining.

Twitter: I saw Santiago Garcia make four starts for the Whitecaps this summer and he was a great watch. He was absolutely dominant outside of one blow-up start. If he can get the walks under control, he could go far in pro ball.

Another four year college senior.

Twitter-Mitch Bannon: The #BlueJays just picked Mathis Nayral, a 6-5 righty pitcher born in Montpellier, France, in the 13th round. He began playing baseball at age 11, went to high school in Toulouse, and posted a 4.96 ERA (9.3 K/9) with the Big 12 Kansas Jayhawks this year.

Four year college senior

Twitter: Former harborhawks righty Connor Kelley selected #432 by the Blue Jays. High-leverage reliever with a big presence. FB sits mid-90s, up to 98, with 25% whiff at school. Threw 6 innings in Hyannis last summer with 0 ER, 1 BB, 6 K.

A college junior in the fifteenth round.

Twitter: CheapSeats73 RHP from Cal Oliver De La Torre goes to the Jays in the 15th. Big kid (6'4 225) FB around 95, plus Change is the primary weapon and its a really solid pitch. Good projectable grab this late and yet another guy who shouldn't cost big. I'm very intrigued by how the last 5 rounds go.

Even though Cormier was born in 2003, he is listed as a junior.

The MLB draft is 19 days away! Think a dude who's up to 94 mph with74 strikeouts to only 12 walks should get picked?

Another senior sign.

A junior who might be hard to sign, see scouting report.

MLB Scouting: Though McCoy recorded a 7.11 ERA in his first two seasons at South Carolina, a brief but dominant stint in the Cape Cod League last summer left some evaluators wondering if he might be the best college left-hander in the 2026 Draft. He struck out 25 of the 54 Cape batters he faced while issuing just three walks in three starts. He has the stuff and metrics to back up that performance and will have to show that he can sustain it, but he won't get the chance to do so this year after blowing out his elbow in January and requiring Tommy John surgery. McCoy's fastball gained a couple of ticks of velocity on the Cape, parking at 94-95 mph and peaking at 98 with natural cutting action. He also threw a nasty mid-80s slider with plenty of sweep and mixed in some true cutters at 87-91 mph. He doesn't have much trust in a fading upper-80s changeup that he struggles to locate. McCoy's low three-quarters arm slot and resulting low release height create pitches with an unusual combination of velocity and shapes that are hard for hitters to deal with. He lacks size, has effort in his delivery and doesn't have much track record of success or strikes, so he might be more reliever than starter. He looked like he could pitch in the front half of a rotation while on the Cape, and he has the arsenal for a high-leverage role if he does wind up in the bullpen.

Baseball America: McCoy pitched to underwhelming results in his two seasons with South Carolina, first as a reliever in 2024 and then as a starter in 2025. But he had a breakout summer in the 2025 Cape Cod League, where scouts viewed him as the best pitcher in the league. He posted a 1.46 ERA in three starts and 12.1 innings with 25 strikeouts to just three walks. A 6-foot-1, 185-pound lefthander, McCoy has a fastball that sits around 93-94 mph and will touch 98, with great life up in the zone that’s amplified by his low three-quarters slot and low release height. He pairs the fastball with a sweeping slider in the 82-85 mph range that he has shown an ability to manipulate depending on the matchup, with more sweep against lefthanded hitters and more tilt against righthanded hitters. McCoy does throw an upper-80s changeup, but only rarely. He tore his UCL before the 2026 season and missed the entire year, though clubs could still view him as a top-five-round talent in the draft despite a limited track record as a quality strike-thrower.

Twitter: Blue Jays going for shot in the dark with Jake McCoy in 18th, have to imagine he's headed back to garner his value back after ending fall as most likely LHP1 option in class, would be massive get if they can sign him out of this stage

High schooler from Florida. Committed to Stetson University. Likely an insurance pick.

Rosado was the second last pick of the draft. Like Travers before him a likely insurance pick.
