Merryweather throwing batting practice out there today. Teo crushed one out and then next batter, Kelenic sent it 482 ft lol. Both off the fastball

At least he'll always be remembered for that opening series vs the Yanks in 2021 when he struck out 5 in 2 innings.

My jaw dropped on that Kelenic HR. 482 ft in game is insanity. Even the Cubs broadcasters were in shock lmao.

Typical Merryweather though. Fastball is flat and atrocious.

Kendry Rojas could be a name to follow in the Jays system this season.

20yo lefty in single A that can touch 97

Sem Robberse with another excellent start for new hampshire.

If he can add 2mph to his average velo, could he be like a Shane Bieber lite? With Tiedemann, Zulu, him, Rojas, and Barriera the minors is suddenly stocked with pitching.

He's a really interesting storyline for the year. He needed those few extra MPH (especially for the transition to the majors someday), but now that he's up to 93 he's a pretty great starting pitcher prototype.

It will be interesting to see if he has a little more velo left in his development because he's a pretty underdeveloped kid. 94-95 with his command and stuff would be a phenomenal prospect.

I think he can tick up the velo a couple more ticks from the 92-94 as he is just 21, and - as you mentioned - he is still filling out and growing into this frame.

That would vault him into the upper tier of pitching prospects.

Gawd, I hope they get this done sooner rather than later. If the team wants to sign him to a 10/12/15-year deal, I'm all for it. Lock him up, and let him be the face of this team for the decade plus, which will see him go down as the greatest Jay ever.

Yup. Pay him huge, get it done. He's young enough that a 12/14 year deal won't get stupid and run until he's 41 like some of the other guys who have been given those sorts of deals.
