2027 RHP Aidan Tudos-Kong put together a strong offseason and has impressed on the mound this spring with strike-throwing ability from a low-effort delivery. 5-foot-10, 170-pounds and was able to locate the fastball at 83-84 T84.8mph and there’s feel for a slider at 68-71mph with 2500+ spin (-1.3 IVB/-9.3 HM). The Ontario Blue Jays right-hander also featured a changeup at 76-77mph (-1.0 IVB/7.7 HM). Tudos-Kong will be an arm to follow this summer in the 2027 class.
