Jays 1st Round Supp Picks: Aaron Sanchez, Noah Syndergaard & Asher Wojciechowski

Stats, Scouting Notes and Videos of the Toronto Blue Jays three Supplementary 1st Round Picks of the 2010 MLB Draft.

Aaron Sanchez

6’3, 175 lbs
Orel Hershier comps due to make-up
91-93 MPH fastball
Plus Curve at 75-76 MPH with late downward break

Noah Syndergaard

Not ranked in Baseball America Top #200 Ranking
Not ranked in ESPN/Keith Law Top 100 prospects
Limited information
6’6, 215lb
Fastball consistently 94mph, along with a change and curve in June 2010 start

Pitching Coach Comments:

“His physical ability has always been there… He is so tall that his fastball has a steep angle headed to the plate. He has also been able to add and develop a curveball, which makes his fastball that much tougher to hit.”

Asher Wojciechowski

Baseball America Rank: #22
ESPN/Keith Law Rank: #28
Played for USA College National Team
6’4, 230
One of NCAA’s best fastballs, consistently 93-96.
Strong endurance, reached 96 MPH in 8th inning in two separate starts this season
Plus Slider/Slurve
“breaking ball is a hard slurve at 80-82 mph with good two-plane break and a sharp, late movement”
ESPN Future Grades: 65 fastball, 60 slider

Could start or be a back-end bullpen pitcher

Looking Forward

Still on the board is upside arm Stetson Allie (Stetson Allie Scouting Report + Video). With multiple teams passing, including over-slot regulars such as the Yankees, Tigers (twice) and Red Sox (twice) I imagine sign-ability has become an issue.

Heading into Tuesday the Jays will draft 62nd, 69th, 81st, 94th, 114th, 126th & 156th.

Will the Jays stick to upside arms or focus on positional players?
