“We look forward to seeing that play out on the field, in our uniform, and excited for him to get his career started.” Barriera becomes the first high school pitcher taken by the Jays in the first round since Ross Atkins became general manager following the 2015 season. The Jays got him 10 picks lower, which should lead to some positive reviews once the dust has settled. “There’s a greater risk when you’re selecting a high school pitcher in that area,” Farrell said. The Jays have until Aug. 1 to convince Barriera to forego a commitment to Vanderbilt University and sign a professional contract. “The big velocity, the plus slider, but most importantly the athleticism is what really stood out to all of us as we started watching this summer.
