The Blue Jays penultimate pick is a college starter.

With the 574th overall pick, the Blue Jays selected Aaron Munson, a right-handed pitcher for the Division II school Angelo State University.

He started all 18 games he appeared in, and finished with a 3.63 ERA in 101.2 innings pitched. Moreover, he had a 27.6 K% and a 6 BB%. For his entire collegiate career, he had a 4.06 ERA in 228.1 innings pitched, along with a 24.1 K% and a 5.9 BB%. Munson also helped lead Angelo State to their first ever DII National Title.

With most pitchers drafted this late, there isn’t a lot of information regarding what their pitch-mix is, nor their velocity on the fastball. It’s worth noting that when he graduated high school, it sat at 86 mph per his Perfect Game page.
