2024 LHP Jayden Bailey (uncommitted) seems to be an under the radar arm in the province who’s consistently able to get outs against good lineups. 6-foot-2, 195-pound left-hander with a smooth, effortless delivery with a little bit of a cross-fire look in there. He was heavy on the fastball on Friday with the pitch sitting 85-87mph with armside run. Also flashed a curveball and changeup later in counts after getting ahead with the fastball. One of the better uncommitted 2024 left-handers in Ontario and showed well on the Ontario Blue Jays Fall Trip going up against Division I opponents.
