Our staff has seen Lloyd twice over the past week and is another intriguing uncommitted 2024/25 arm out of the Ontario Blue Jays program. The right-hander turned in another strong start this past Thursday as he ran his fastball up to 89mph, sitting 85-88mph along with a downer breaking ball in the mid-70s. The frame stands out at 6-foot-4, 200-pounds and shows the ability to get outs even when he doesn’t have his best stuff or with velocity a couple ticks down.
