Toronto stocks up on college players on Day 2

TORONTO -- After selecting two 6-foot-6 right-handed pitchers in the first two rounds of the Draft on Monday -- one college pitcher and one high schooler -- the Blue Jays went with a slew of college position players on Tuesday, sandwiched between a Canadian high school outfielder to start the second day of the selection process and a high school shortstop taken with Toronto's final pick of Day 2.

"[We're] excited about the potential of the guys that we're going to be able to get a little bit deeper," said Steve Sanders, Toronto's director of amateur scouting, ahead of the Draft. "There is some depth to the Draft, especially in the college position-player area, as well as some arms. It's a solid Draft pool that we're certainly excited about the type of guys we'll be able to add."

Dasan Brown, CF, 17, Abbey Park HS

Third round, No. 88 overall

Brown became the first Canadian player taken off the Draft board when the Blue Jays selected the native of nearby Oakville, Ontario. The 17-year-old outfielder is one of the fastest players in the Draft class -- his speed given a 70 grade by MLB Pipeline -- as well as a future plus defender, though there is plenty of room for improvement at the plate.

"His athleticism has been something we've seen since he was 15 years old," said Joe Ellison, the manager of Brown's 18-and-under Ontario Blue Jays team. "But his hard work has paid off in the cages to improve his ability to hit, and hit with power, over the last three years. He's also the type of player who doesn't shy away from leading a team both on and off the field."

Brown has consistently faced professional competition throughout his tenure with the Canadian Junior National Team, which began in the fall of '17, and the 6-foot, 185-pound outfielder helped Team Canada to a bronze medal at the COPABE 18-and-under Pan Am Championships in Panama last fall. He is committed to Texas A&M, and Toronto will have to pull him away from the Aggies. The slot value for the No. 88 pick is $678,600.

Will Robertson, RF, 21, Creighton

Fourth round, No. 117 overall

With potential to go from the Creighton Blue Jays to the Toronto Blue Jays, the 6-foot-2, 215-pound junior outfielder has impressed with his power and his ability to hit. Robertson found a way to hit home runs in one of the toughest college ballparks for homers out there, TD Ameritrade Park. He totaled 15 long balls this season, using his short, quick left-handed stroke and strength to give him some of the best power in the '19 Draft class, according to MLB Pipeline. Robertson hails from Loose Creek, Mo., and though he primarily played left field at Creighton, he has potential in right, where the Blue Jays drafted him. The slot value for this pick is $492,700.

Tanner Morris, SS, 20, Virginia

Fifth round, No. 147 overall

Profiled as having one of the more complete approaches at the plate, the 6-foot-2, 190-pound left-handed-hitting shortstop has been consistent with the bat since his high school playing days, and most scouts believe he'll continue to hit for average at the next level, according to MLB Pipeline. The Cavaliers' sophomore sends a lot of line drives the other way and controls the zone well. There is some thought that Morris might not stay at the shortstop position, but his ability to hit will help to carry him, wherever he takes the field. The slot value for the No. 147 selection is $367, 900.

Cameron Eden, SS, 21, California

Sixth round, No. 177 overall

The 6-foot-1, 181-pound right-handed-hitting infielder had ups and downs at the plate early in his collegiate career, but this year in his junior season with the Golden Bears, Eden hit .370 over 49 games and 200 at-bats, with eight homers, three triples, eight doubles and 20 stolen bases. The native of Yuba City, Calif., has above-average speed that can also play in the outfield, to go with a strong arm and solid range, and could profile as a utility player if he doesn't stay at shortstop. The slot value for this selection is $279,500.

L.J. Talley, 2B, 22, Georgia

Seventh round, No. 207 overall

The 6-foot-2, 203-pound infielder is a four-year senior at Georgia, where he put all of his tools on display in a successful senior season, hitting .332 in 63 games and 235 at-bats, with eight home runs, one triple, 11 doubles, and more walks than strikeouts, leading the Bulldogs to the No. 4 national seed and an NCAA Regional host berth. The left-handed-hitting second baseman hits the ball hard and is reliable on the infield. The slot value for the No. 207 pick is $218,500.

Angel Camacho, 3B, 21, Jacksonville University

Eighth round, No. 237 overall

Another four-year senior, the 6-foot-3, 200-pound infielder graduated with a kinesiology degree after three years, before earning his master's of business administration while playing for the Dolphins. His missed his high school junior season with a torn labrum, but finished in the top 10 all-time at Jacksonville with 251 hits, 155 RBIs and 220 games played. In his final collegiate season, the native of Jacksonville hit .317 in 58 games and 227 at-bats, with 10 home runs, seven doubles, 41 RBIs and more walks than strikeouts. The slot value for this pick is $175,000.

Philip Clarke, C, 21, Vanderbilt

Ninth round, No. 267 overall

Clarke, a 5-foot-11, 190-pound catcher for the Commodores, resisted Draft offers in 2017 in order to head to Vanderbilt, where he still has plenty of leverage as a sophomore. The left-handed-hitting backstop regularly puts the barrel on the ball, uses the entire field and manages the strike zone well, according to MLB Pipeline. If he can continue to improve his defence, he has a chance to become a regular at the big league level, and he has already improved since his high school playing days. The native of Franklin, Tenn., believes that if he wasn't playing baseball, he would be an astronaut.

Glenn Santiago, SS, 18, International Baseball Academy

10th round, No. 297 overall

The 6-foot, 165-pound right-handed-hitting high school shortstop hails from Guanica, Puerto Rico. Santiago has plenty of room for growth, but is quick on the infield with soft hands and some arm strength. The Florida International commit barrels up the ball consistently at the plate, and his hitting will improve when he adds strength. The slot value for this selection is $145,500.

Brown was the first of five Canadians selected on Day 2 of the Draft. He was followed by outfielder Jake Sanford, taken in the third round by the Yankees, right-hander Matthew Brash, selected by the Padres in the fourth round, Josh Burgmann, also a right-handed pitcher, taken in the fifth round by the Cubs, and high school southpaw Adam Macko, chosen by the Mariners in the seventh round.

The Draft concludes on Wednesday, with exclusive coverage of Rounds 11 to 40 on MLB.com beginning at noon ET.
