"Their 2024 first-round selection, Trey Yesavage, started the year off in Single-A Dunedin. By the time he was finished, he had just shattered multiple postseason records by a rookie starting pitcher. Arjun Nimmala took another step towards becoming a true upper-echelon prospect. Johnny King emerged as a teenage phenom with gaudy swing-and-miss ability. Juan Sanchez appears to be their first IFA signee with true star potential since Vladimir Guerrero Jr. The list goes on."
"The right-hander turned pro after agreeing to a $125,000 signing bonus, turning pro instead of heading to college. Stanifer's first two professional seasons were spent in the Florida Complex League in 2023 and Single-A Dunedin in 2024. While the overall results didn't jump off the page, the right-hander was getting acclimated to affiliated baseball, building confidence that he also pairs with an unmatched work ethic, setting the stage for his monster breakout in 2025."
"The right-hander began the season back with Dunedin, posting 26 dominant innings of piggybacking Trey Yesavage to the tune of a 0.69 ERA. He was then promoted, along with Yesavage, to High-A Vancouver, where he continued to piggyback with the Blue Jays' top pitching prospect before Yesavage was ultimately promoted to New Hampshire. Stanifer then began starting his own ballgames in Vancouver and continued to dominate, thus leading to a final promotion to Double-A just before the 2025 season concluded."
Multiple Blue Jays minor leaguers broke out during the 2025 season, including Trey Yesavage, Arjun Nimmala, Johnny King, and Juan Sanchez. Gage Stanifer experienced the largest stock rise among prospects after being drafted in the 19th round in 2022 and signing for $125,000 instead of attending college. Stanifer spent 2023 in the Florida Complex League and 2024 in Single-A Dunedin while building confidence and work ethic. In 2025 he posted 26 dominant innings in Dunedin with a 0.69 ERA, earned promotion to High-A Vancouver, began starting successfully, and finished the season with a promotion to Double-A.
