The Arizona Fall Stars Game rosters are set, and the Toronto Blue Jays organization is well represented.
On Wednesday, Jake Bloss, Jake Cook, and Aaron Parker were all named to the American League’s Fall Stars Games roster.
Bloss has made six starts for the Mesa Solar Sox, and during that span the right-hander has posted an 8.44 ERA and a 1.41 WHIP. Bloss has struck out 11 batters across 10.2 innings and been hit at a .302 clip.
While these numbers don’t jump off the page, most of the damage off Bloss came during a start in which he lasted only one inning and allowed seven earned runs. Bloss has impressed with a 24.4 per cent strikeout rate, and during his most recent start on October 31, he touched 97.5 MPH with his fastball and sat 96.6 MPH.
Listed as the Blue Jays’ No. 11-ranked prospect, Bloss battled injuries and inconsistencies. Through 11 starts across four minor-league levels, Bloss went 0-4 with a 6.18 ERA and a 1.42 WHIP.
Cook has done nothing but impress through his 14 starts in the Arizona Fall League. Cook is batting .328 with four RBIs and has reached base at a .381 clip. Cook has stolen 10 bases in 12 attempts, tied for fifth-most in the AFL.
The 23-year-old was selected in the third round of the 2025 MLB draft and spent his first professional season in Single-A with Dunedin. Across 72 games, Cook batted .250 with five home runs and 40 RBIs. Cook displayed a strong ability in the field, reached base at a .367 rate, and stole 21 bases in 25 attempts.
Speaking to MLB.com in October, the Blue Jays’ No. 20-ranked prospect touched on the player he believes he can be as he climbs the ranks of professional baseball.
“I think I’ve got the potential to be a five-tool guy. I want to do everything, steal bases, hit home runs, and play great defence,” Cook said. “I’m just not there yet. I have to keep working every day. I was excited to get into the offseason, but here I am in the Fall League, so I get to work on it in games. It’s pretty awesome.”
After breaking out during the 2026 campaign with Double-A New Hampshire, Parker has continued to take strides in the AFL. Through 10 games, Parker is batting .351 with one home run and eight RBIs.
Parker has impressed with a .479 OBP, turned in seven steals, and has walked 10 times compared to 12 strikeouts. Through 87 games with the Fisher Cats in 2026, Parker batted .253 with 19 home runs and 48 RBIs.
The game is scheduled for Sunday at 8 p.m. ET.
