Blue Jays draft LHP Barriera with 23rd pick of MLB Draft MORE:
VIDEO SIGN OUTThe six-foot-two, 180-pound Barriera is a left-handed pitcher who plays varsity ball at American Heritage School in Plantation, Fla. Barriera regularly touches 96 miles per hour on the radar gun and has been up to 98-99. He features an electric four-pitch mix -- fastball, changeup, curveball and slider. He is committed to attending Vanderbilt.
With their second pick, and 60th overall, the Blue Jays took 21-year-old Josh Kasevich of Palo Alto, Calif, a six-foot-two shortstop with the University of Oregon Ducks who is also one of the best hitters and defenders with the Waterloo Bucks in the Northwoods League. The six-foot-one Toman, who won't turn 19 until November, is the son of longtime college coach Jim Toman. He's an infielder at Hammond School in Columbia, S.C., has developed into one of the more polished hitters in the 2022 high school class.
Doughty has exhibited nice feel for the barrel and a quick, compact right-handed swing since he was a regular member of U.S. national teams in high school.
