The Prospect Pyramid is a method of measurement used for prospects for any team. The purpose of this system of ranking is to forego the prospect list system. While lists may be easier for top prospects, a list will vary from person to person. Instead, prospects will be categorized based on their projected ceiling. In this case, all prospects will come from the Toronto Blue Jays<\/a> farm system.<\/p>\n To qualify as a baseball prospect a player must be:<\/p>\n * Dasan Brown<\/a><\/strong>, Olrevis Martin<\/a>,<\/strong> and Kendall Williams<\/a><\/strong> will not be considered in this pyramid. Instead, they will be considered “too early to tell.”<\/p>\n It’s hard to talk about the Toronto Blue Jays pitching prospects without discussing Nate Pearson. Since being drafted 28th overall<\/a> by the Blue Jays in 2017, Pearson has been nothing but dominant. In three seasons in Minor League Baseball, Pearson has an ERA of 2.19, a WHIP of 0.868 in 123 innings pitched. Within a year, Pearson went from the 91st best prospect to the 70th best prospect according to Baseball America<\/a>. Blue Jays fans hope that Pearson will become the future ace of the staff in a few short years. Although it’s unlikely, Pearson could make the starting rotation out of Spring Training.<\/p>\n #BlueJays<\/a>' top pitching prospect Nate Pearson's lighting up the radar gun at the @AllStarGame<\/a> #FuturesGame<\/a>. 7 fastballs in a 12-pitch, 10-strike, 2-strikeout perfect frame:<\/p>\n 99.3 Have a look at each of his strikeouts. pic.twitter.com\/iqQXpC7Ydy<\/a><\/p>\n — MLB Pipeline (@MLBPipeline) July 8, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nRequirements<\/h3>\n
