3 Blue Jays positional player prospects who have shined so far in 2026
"Kazuma Okamoto has been paying off as he currently leads the Blue Jays in home runs (10) and RBIs (26). Not to mention some surprising contributions from the likes of Andrés Giménez and even rookie Brandon Valenzuela as well."
"Beginning with the Blue Jays' Single-A affiliate Dunedin, Williams quickly earned a promotion to High-A Vancouver just two weeks into the season this year. Despite encountering stiffer competition, the 25-year-old first baseman has continued to hit well, compiling a solid .318 batting average, .901 OPS, along with 15 runs scored, six doubles, one home run and 15 RBIs in 27 total minor league games played to date."
"More importantly, Williams has shown much growth in his game with strong plate discipline. He has drawn 24 walks already with just 17 strikeouts in 118 total plate appearances. As a left-handed bat as well, he could become an important infield piece for the Blue Jays down the road."
"As one of the early Spring Training standouts for the Blue Jays this year, Charles McAdoo has carried that success into the regular season with Triple-A Buffalo. McAdoo has registered a .273/.377/.469/.846 slash line, with 24 runs scored, five doubles, six home runs, 21 RBIs and five stolen bases in 36 games with the Bisons."
