"The 6-foot-3, 210-pound left-hander started with the Florida Complex League Blue Jays, pitching 24 innings to the tune of a 1.13 ERA and a 1.53 FIP, with a 41.8 K% and 7.1 BB%. King was then shipped off to the Single-A Dunedin Blue Jays, where he pitched to a 3.35 ERA and 4.23 FIP in 37.2 innings pitched. His K% was still incredible at 38.1%, but his control suffered,"
"King was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the third round (95th overall) of the 2024 MLB Draft as a left-handed pitcher out of Naples High School in Florida, signing for $1.2 million. In his young professional career, he's put up a solid showing, cruising through two levels. The 6-foot-3, 210-pound left-hander started with the Florida Complex League Blue Jays, pitching 24 innings to the tune of a 1.13 ERA and a 1.53 FIP, with a 41.8 K% and 7.1 BB%."
Trey Yesavage made his MLB debut and effectively graduated from prospect status despite remaining in official rankings. Notable prospects mentioned include Johnny King, Arjun Nimmala, and JoJo Parker. Johnny King, a third-round 2024 pick who signed for $1.2 million, dominated early, posting a 1.13 ERA and 1.53 FIP in 24 FCL innings with a 41.8% strikeout rate, then logged a 3.35 ERA and 4.23 FIP in 37.2 Single-A innings while maintaining a 38.1% K rate but showing increased walk rates. King features a fastball up to 96 mph and an above-average curveball, with a changeup that needs development. Arjun Nimmala, the 20th overall 2023 pick and a first-generation Indian-American shortstop, began 2025 with the Vancouver Canadians and produced a strong start.
