TORONTO BLUE JAYS
TOP 2018 ROOKIE: Ryan Borucki, LHP. After moving through three levels in 2017, he could step into the back of Toronto’s rotation in 2018.
BREAKOUT PROSPECT: Ryan Noda, 1B/OF. The MVP of the Rookie-level Appalachian League in 2017, he could prove to be a late-round bargain out of the 15th round.
SLEEPER: Alejandro Melean, RHP. He was one of the top pitching prospects on the international market in 2017, showing a low-90s fastball, a curveball that misses bats and good feel for pitching for a 17-year-old.
