The 2025 Spring Coaching has concluded, and the season begins in a few days.
A number of Toronto Blue Jays prospects stood out. After all, Alan Roden performed so properly that he really earned a spot on the Blue Jays’ 26-man roster, however there have been lesser-known prospects who additionally had Spring Coaching.
On this article, we’ll have a look at 5 prospects to keep watch over this season after their Spring Coaching!
Rainer Nuñez
I’ve been aboard the Rainer Nuñez hype prepare for fairly a while now, courting again to the spectacular 2022 season the place he gained the Florida State League batting title and the LIDOM Rookie of the 12 months.
The primary baseman had a tough 2023 season however rebounded properly in 2024 with the Double-A New Hampshire Fisher Cats, slashing .275/.349/.416 with 12 house runs in 433 plate appearances for a 121 wRC+.
That rebound season earned him a non-roster invite to Spring Coaching, the place Nuñez slashed .409/.458/.591 with one house run in 24 plate appearances for a 177 wRC+. The primary baseman’s wRC+ was the fifth-highest for the Blue Jays in Spring Coaching.
He’ll probably begin the 2025 season with the Fisher Cats as there’s a logjam of prospects in Triple-A, however Nuñez has sturdy batted ball metrics which is encouraging.
Will Robertson
Initially drafted within the fourth spherical of the 2019 draft, outfielder Will Robertson lastly had considerably of a breakout season in 2023, slashing .245/.323/.488 with 19 house runs in 412 plate appearances with the Double-A New Hampshire Fisher Cats.
Sadly, his 2024 season with the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons didn’t go as properly, slashing .226/.319/.429 with 19 house runs in 464 plate appearances for a 92 wRC+. Whereas his 19 house runs have been the second-most within the group, Robertson had a worrisome Ok% of 31.3%.
This previous Spring Coaching, the 27-year-old slashed .364/.462/.909 with two house runs in 13 plate appearances. It’s a small pattern measurement, however with begin to his 2025 season, Robertson might put himself ready to earn a shot with the Jays if there are accidents.
Carter Cunningham
Carter Cunningham solely acquired three plate appearances this Spring Coaching, however he made one in every of them depend as he hit a walk-off house run.

Spending the primary half of the 2024 season with East Carolina College, the outfielder slashed .367/.464/.653 with 17 house runs. In flip, the Blue Jays chosen him within the tenth spherical of the 2024 draft and positioned him in Dunedin. In 105 plate appearances with the Single-A Dunedin Blue Jays, Cunningham slashed .197/.381/.316 with two house runs, giving him a 113 wRC+.
It’ll be fascinating to see how the 24-year-old performs in 2025, with a possible placement in Excessive-A Vancouver.
Mason Fluharty
Shifting gears to pitchers, left-handed reliever Mason Fluharty had a powerful Spring Coaching. In seven innings pitched, the 23-year-old had a 1.29 ERA and a 2.32 FIP with a 40.7 Ok% and a 3.7 BB%.
Chosen within the fifth spherical of the 2022 draft, Fluharty has shortly risen by way of the Blue Jays’ minor league system and posted a 3.63 ERA and a 4.15 FIP in 67 innings pitched in his first season in Triple-A.
Though he’s a comfortable tosser, he’s robust on left-handed batters and may get righties out as properly. His supply helps his stuff play up, and his slider is implausible. It wouldn’t be stunning to see the reliever up as quickly as this season.
Braydon Fisher
Acquired from the Los Angeles Dodgers final season for Cavan Biggio, Fisher began his Blue Jays profession with the Double-A New Hampshire Fisher Cats, the place he had a 2.76 ERA and a 2.83 FIP in 16.1 innings pitched. To make that much more spectacular, Fisher struck out 36.6% of batters whereas proudly owning a 9.9 BB%.
The 24-year-old’s tenure didn’t go as properly in Triple-A with the Buffalo Bisons, posting a 6.38 ERA and a 4.99 FIP in 18.1 innings pitched with a 22.8 Ok% and a 15.2 BB%.
Fisher’s contract ended on the finish of the season, however the Blue Jays introduced him again as a non-roster invite. Though he didn’t final practically the entire Spring Coaching like Fluharty, Fisher had a 1.93 ERA and a 1.39 FIP in 4.2 innings pitched with a 41.2 Ok% and a 5.9 BB%.
It’s a small pattern measurement, but when he does properly to begin the season with the Bisons, maybe he might earn a call-up in some unspecified time in the future in 2025.
