Blue Jays Prospects Set to Shine in Arizona Fall League

The Toronto Blue Jays are gearing up to showcase some of their most promising young talent in the Arizona Fall League, which kicks off on Monday. This annual event serves as a pivotal opportunity for player development, especially for those looking toward the 2026 season.

Aiming for Future Stars

While it may be unrealistic to expect the Blue Jays to discover another gem like Trey Yesavage, whose remarkable performance in the recent American League Division Series captured attention, the organization is keen to evaluate its prospects closely in Arizona. Yesavage’s success underscores the effectiveness of the Blue Jays’ player development system, heightening the anticipation for this fall’s showcase.

Format and Schedule

The Arizona Fall League (AFL) consists of teams made up of players from five Major League Baseball franchises. Over the course of a month, the league will host a series of games, including tripleheaders in Tucson on October 11 and Goodyear on October 18. A highlight of the AFL calendar is the Fall Stars Game on November 9, which will be broadcast live on the MLB Network. Prior to that, the excitement builds with the home run derby scheduled for November 8. This year’s playoffs will also introduce a new format, allowing all six teams to compete for the championship, with the top two receiving byes to the second round. The final match will be available across several MLB platforms from November 13-15.

Blue Jays’ Roster and Key Players

The Blue Jays will compete under the banner of the Glendale Desert Dogs, sharing the field with players from the Atlanta Braves, St. Louis Cardinals, Los Angeles Dodgers, and Chicago White Sox. The roster includes several notable prospects ranked in the MLB Pipeline’s Top 30:

Josh Kasevich, SS (No. 12)
Edward Duran, C (No. 13)
Cutter Coffey, 3B/2B (No. 27)
Angel Bastardo, RHP (No. 29)
Alex Amalfi, RHP
Kai Peterson, LHP
Yondrei Rojas, RHP
Chay Yeager, RHP

Spotlight on Josh Kasevich

Among the players to watch is Josh Kasevich, a second-round pick from Oregon in 2022. Although the buzz surrounding shortstop prospect Armun Nimmala may overshadow him, Kasevich remains a key figure in the Blue Jays’ future. After a challenging season plagued by injuries, this AFL stint is an essential chance for him to regain momentum and showcase his skills on a larger stage.

As the Arizona Fall League commences, the Blue Jays’ prospects are poised to make a lasting impression, not just on scouts but also on fans eager to witness the next generation of talent in action.
