The Blue Jays closed out their 2019 Draft class yesterday with pick 1197 which means it’s time to unpack the 40 selections made by the club.
The 11th overall pick, Alek Manoah, will eventually sign with the club and forego his final season with the West Virginia Mountaineers barring a big turn of events. The first of two 6-foot-6 right-handers taken by the Jays, Manoah has already tossed 108.1 innings this season and likely won’t log too many more in the farm system this year.
Things get a little trickier with the second and third rounders as they are both departing high school and were headed to America’s most competitive conference, the SEC.
