2027 RHP Aidan MacLellan is another intriguing arm in the Ontario Blue Jays 2027 class and flashed some heavy stuff on the mound once again at the PO Future Games Trials. Has some strength and size at 6-foot-1, 185-pounds and works with a three-pitch mix. The fastball sat 83-85 T86 from an easy, effortless delivery. The go-to secondary offering is a sharp slider at 71-72mph with 2600+ spin and -19.3” HM to -2.3 IVB. MacLellan also featured a changeup at 79-81mph. Another uncommitted arm to circle in the Ontario Blue Jays program.
