The Toronto Blue Jays’ will round out their draft class today by making selections in rounds 4 through 20 of the 2025 MLB draft.
Last year, the Toronto Blue Jays’ made 18 selections in rounds 4 through 20, and they were able to sign 16 of those 18 players.
Hear what five of those 16 players had to say about their draft experience.
OF Nick Mitchell selected in the 4th round (136th overall) out of Indiana University:
“It was really awesome,” said Mitchell. “I was just with my family watching the TV, I saw my name called and it was pure joy.”
RHP Jackson Wentworth selected in the 5th round (158th overall) out of Kansas State University:
“It was pretty easy,” stated Wentworth. “My agent did a lot of the work to make the stress of the draft not so bad. He did a really good job of letting me know what was going on, so I was prepared for any situation.”
OF Eddie Micheletti Jr. selected in the 8th round (247th overall) out of Virginia Tech:
“It started right after the season,” explained Micheletti. “I got calls from different teams, checking in, doing their background stuff. That was the start, and getting closer to the draft, I started to hear a lot more from different teams. Obviously, the Blue Jays were one of the teams I heard from, and on draft day I was in the basement with my family when I got a call from the Blue Jays, I heard the offer and accepted it. It was one of the best days of my life.”
RHP Colby Martin selected in the 16th round (487th overall) out of Southeastern University:
“It was a pretty surreal moment,” said Martin. “I was waiting around day two and day three of the draft. The Blue Jays were one of my top teams, so it was pretty surreal when it happened.”
RHP Holden Wilkerson selected in the 18th round (547th overall) out of VMI:
“It was terrific,” stated Wilkerson. “It’s something every baseball player from high school, little league, or college dreams of.”
