Blue Jays Nation’s Mid-Season Prospect Countdown – No. 19: Jace Bohrofen

Well his tenure with the Single-A Dunedin Blue Jays has been even better, as he’s slashing .341/.491/.750 with FIVE homers in 57 plate appearances, along with a 22.8 K% and a 15.8 BB% for a 217 wRC+.

In terms of OPS leaders, his combined 1.159 on base + slugging percentage ranks as the second highest for 2023 draftees with 50+ plate appearances. His six home runs also ranks tied for the second most by any 2023 draftee.

Bohrofen ranks as MLB Pipeline’s 21st best Blue Jays’ prospect. According to his bio, he has a sound swing and has improved at making contact the past few seasons. He has plus raw power (I mean, six homers), and it’s started to come naturally. He has high exit velocities, but there’s some swing and miss in his game, even if he’s walked more than struck out in Single-A.

As for his other tools, he’s an average runner and an average defender in the corner outfields.

Bohrofen is still multiple seasons away from making the big leagues, but he’ll be an interesting prospect to watch develop over the next few seasons.
