UPDATE: The Blue Jays have officially signed three of their 2020 draft picks.
Van Eyk is a Florida State product pitched to a 1.31 ERA in 20.2 innings in an abbreviated 2020 season with 25 strikeouts and 12 walks. He features a fastball that can hit 95 m.p.h. in addition to a curveball and change-up.
The 21-year-old was originally selected out of high school by the New York Mets in the 19th round of the 2017 draft, but saw his stock rise in college and was ultimately drafted 42nd overall earlier this month. Palmer, also a right-handed pitcher, posted a 1.30 ERA with 41 strikeouts and five walks in four starts this season for Jacksonville University. His fastball can hit 96 m.p.h. and he has a strong change-up and slider.
Britton, a catcher and outfielder out of Louisville, slashed .280/.395/.455 in three college seasons. Top pick Austin Martin and fourth-rounder Nick Frasso remain unsigned. Toronto carries a total draft pool of $9,716,500 and the deadline for teams to sign draft picks is Aug. 1
