2025 Ontario Future Games Trials
Gutierrez is a promising prospect out of the OBJ’s system. He currently sits in the top ten in the ‘28 class and ranks first by position. Jalen is well advanced for his age behind the dish with quick catch/throw capabilities that ended up recording a pop-time of 1.97 seconds. In addition, he is also equipped with a strong arm that clocked in at 76 mph during defensive workouts. Even though it was not Jalen’s best performance with the stick, our staff was still impressed with the overall operation in the box. The metrics will continue to climb as he develops over the years and truly will be a name to look out for down the road.
2025 Ontario Preseason Invitational
Gutierrez solidified him a seat near the top in the rankings in the ‘28 class. He had fuelled the hype with his performance on both sides of the ball. It is an athletic 5-foot-10, 170-pound frame that is just scratching the surface it seems like. A calm and collective approach that generated a maximum exit velocity of 91.9 mph, and a peak distance of 302 feet. Furthermore, Jalen was equally as impressive with the glove. The arm strength is advanced for his class topping out at 78 mph from behind the dish and displayed good catch/throw abilities recording a pop-time of 1.97-2.09 seconds. It is a name to talk about in the ‘28 class and will be a key contributor for the Blue Jays this summer.
