Tim Piasentin is one of many intriguing Canadian prospects in the Toronto Blue Jays system.
This is Blue Jays Nation’s annual mid-season prospect list, where we’ll take a look at the 50 best prospects in the Toronto Blue Jays organization. I’ll look at the player’s stats, what other publications have to say, as well as my own observations of the players.
Like most 2025 high school draftees, Piasentin won’t make his professional debut until the 2026 season, but when he does, it’ll be interesting to see how he starts his career. He ranks as our 25th-best prospect, and if you missed our 26th-best Blue Jays prospect, you can read about Jace Bohrofen here.

Getting to know Tim Piasentin…

Position: Third base
Bats: Left
Born: March 25th, 2007
Acquired: Fifth round, 2025 MLB Draft
Previous ranking: Unranked
Standing at 6’3”, 200 lbs, Piasentin is a left-handed batting third baseman who could end up moving to first base in the future. Like many high school draftees, there’s not a whole lot out there in terms of stats, but it’s worth noting that Piasentin won the Canadian Futures Showcase Home Run derby in 2024.
Piasentin, a British Columbia native, attended Foothills Composite High School in Okotoks, Alberta. He ranked as MLB Pipeline’s 160th-best draft prospect and now ranks as the Blue Jays’ 21st-best prospect in their mid-season update. Selected in the fifth round, the Jays over-slotted the 18-year-old, giving him a bonus of $747,500. The slot value for this pick is $503,800.
Diving deeper into his Pipeline scouting report, Piasentin has good raw power and can handle a fastball, an encouraging sign for a player as young as the Canadian. With power usually comes swing and miss, and there’s some of that in Piasentin’s game. That leads to a questionable hit tool for some scouts.
Piasentin’s best tool is his arm, but there is concern that he could end up at first base due to his lack of range at the hot corner. Alternatively, there’s a chance the 18-year-old could end up in the corner outfield, or at least be given a chance if third base doesn’t work out.
Still, the pop that the Maple Ridge, British Columbia native has is something to dream on.
