The Toronto Blue Jays concluded the first night of the draft by selecting one of the most exciting players in Jake Cook from Southern Mississippi. The outfielder is a Chandler Simpson clone, bringing 80 grade speed to the organization with solid hit tools.
There is a lot to like with this pick, following an exhilarating first round selection of Jojo Parker. The Blue Jays completely went offense in night one since their pitching pipeline is getting deeper and deeper. That strategy is going pretty well so far as both may jump into the top 15 of Toronto's top prospects.
