The Toronto Blue Jays sent a few of their prospects to the Arizona Fall League most of which missed a good chuck of the 2024 season such as Kendry Rojas, TJ Brock and Lazaro Estrada.
The Arizona Fall League is there to help players to continue to develop throughout the off-season especially those that did not play much due to injuries or other issues.
Blue Jays prospect Kendry Rojas struggles at Arizona Fall League
Rojas missed the majority of his 2024 season due to injuries which is why the Blue Jays decided to send him to Arizona. Most insiders expected him do dominate there but in both of his starts, he has struggled immensely allowing 5 earned runs and only two strikeouts in his 4 innings pitched.
Surprise, surprise, Kendry Rojas missed a chunk of the season and was sent to Arizona to play in the Fall League. The Blue Jays' top prospect at the tournament has had a rough go of things in his two starts, allowing five earned runs in four innings pitched, along with two strikeouts and two walks. -Delaney
Another pitcher TJ Brock who missed part of his season as well was sent to Arizona but has been absolutely dominant as he has been arguably the Scorpions most dominant pitcher.
Like most players on this list, relief pitcher T.J. Brock missed a part of his season. In fact, he missed most of the season. With that being said, he's been great for the Scorpions, not allowing a run in his two innings pitched while striking out 62.5% of batters. The 25-year-old right-handed pitcher has been by far the team's most dominant pitcher. -Delaney
Another pitcher that has been surprisingly dominant in Arizona is Blue Jays prospect Lazaro Estrada who has pitched 5.2 innings there with a 1.59 ERA and 8 strikeouts in that time frame.
