Toronto Blue Jays top pitching prospect Nate Pearson has been raising eyebrows so far at his first big league camp, leading general manager Ross Atkins to believe he can impact the club at some point during the 2020 season. With only 18.0 innings pitched at Triple-A, the flame-throwing right-hander will undoubtedly have more conditioning to do before donning a Blue Jays jersey, but he could be a candidate for a promotion this summer. Labeled as MLB's eighth overall prospect, Pearson has serious ...

The Blue Jays brought in quite a bit of pitching depth this winter but with the exception of Hyun-Jin Ryu, none of the hurlers have particularly high ceilings or long-term commitments. That bodes well for Nate Pearson, a pitcher with the talent to be a No. 1 hurler. He combines together size, eye-popping velocity, and above-average control -- a mixture that is rarely seen. And although he surpasses 100 mph with his heater, hes not all velocity. He has two breaking balls that project as ...

Toronto starting pitcher Nate Pearson continued shredding his way through the minors on Sunday, going six innings with seven strikeouts for the Buffalo Bison in his second start in Triple-A. The only damage done came in the second inning, when Pearson started off by allowing a single followed by a two-run home run by Boston's Bobby Dalbec. But the 23-year-old then locked it down, retiring 15 of the last 17 batters he faced, with the only two baserunners reaching via a hit pitch and a wild pitch ...

We have a little more than a week before August is over and the rosters expand at the beginning of September. We're in the dog days of summer and some teams are limping to the finish line, including contenders like the Braves with three of their outfielders currently on the injured list. Reinforcements are coming.The rebuilding Mariners are beat up and in last place in the American League West. They didn't feel like waiting until September to call up outfield prospect Jake Fraley (Seattle's No. ...

If you missed it, the Brewers called up their top prospect Tuesday morning -- hitting prodigy and second baseman Keston Hiura -- to make his major league debut this week. The ninth overall pick of the 2017 draft was hitting .333 with a .408 on-base percentage, 1.106 OPS, 11 homers and 26 RBI in 37 games with Triple-A San Antonio.It looks like Travis Shaw (wrist) will head to the injured list, and he's also hitting a mere .163 in 135 at-bats, which is the lowest among qualified hitters in the Nat[...]

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Nate Pearson, the team's No. 4 prospect and No. 76 overall per MLB Pipeline, looked great in the Arizona Fall League and flashed front-of-the-rotation stuff with a great combination of size, stuff and pitchability. Pearson's 2018 season ended after just 1 1/3 innings when he fractured his right forearm after being hit by a line drive at High-A Dunedin. The 22-year-old right-hander is estimated to arrive in the big leagues sometime in 2020. For now he's just a [...]

Toronto Blue Jays pitching prospect Nate Pearson has suffered a non-displaced fracture of the ulna bone in his pitching arm and won't be evaluated again for another four to six weeks. This is miserable news for Pearson, who has been coming along very well after being drafted with the 28th pick in the 2017 draft by Toronto. Across 19 innings pitched in Low-A ball in 2017, Pearson owned a microscopic 0.95 ERA and 0.58 [...]
