Not sure if anyone has posted this yet but it's MLB.com's updated top 30 prospect list for the Blue Jays. Definitely a lot of new names on there that I have never heard of. Names that stood out:
#6: 19 year old Ricky Tiedemann. A 6' 5" lefty who hit the Jays development complex and got his fastball touching 96 MPH.

After not having much of a detailed strength or throwing program prior to the Draft, Tiedemann took off once the Blue Jays got him into their new player development complex. The lefty added more muscle to his 6-foot-4 frame and his velocity ticked up from the 93-94 range pre-draft, now sitting at 95-96 mph and reaching higher.

#9: 17 year old SS Manuel Beltre.

Many within the organization view Beltre as a potential “culture driver” given his natural leadership abilities and charismatic personality at such a young age. He pairs this with advanced fundamentals across the board.

#10: 19 year old Irv Carter. 6' 4" right handed pitcher who also hit the Jays complex and started adding velocity and hit 96 MPH with his fastball.

Carter is the exact type of pitcher that player development staffs love to work with, both because of his physical build and his eagerness to improve. His next steps will be managing a full season’s workload, both physically and mentally, but Carter represents one of the higher-upside arms in the system long-term.

#15: Bowden Francis. A pitcher that came from Milwaukee in the Tellez deal along with Trevor Richards. A 25 year old who will probably see some time on the major league roster this year. Not really electric stuff but a name to keep an eye on as he will be a depth arm.
