The Blue Jays already have two sons of Hall of Famers starting for the team this year, and Wednesday selected the son of another, Toronto icon Roy Halladay, in the Major League Draft.
Braden Halladay, a right-handed pitcher out of Calvary Christian High School in Clearwater, Florida, was taken by the Jays in the 32nd round of the MLB Draft. Roy Halladay wore number 32 in the 12 seasons he spent with the Blue Jays from 1998 to 2009.
Braden Halladay has committed to play college baseball at Penn State and said in a tweet Wednesday that Jays understand he intends to play college ball instead of turning professional.
