According to reports, the Blue Jays are reportedly keeping an eye on a pitching prospect with ties to the New York Yankees<\/a> organization.<\/p>\n

Reporter Bob Elliott recently noted that Toronto has been evaluating Georgia high school right-hander Joseph Contreras, the son of former big-league pitcher Joss Contreras.<\/p>\n

\u201cBlue Jays scouts have been evaluating Georgia HSer RHP Joseph Contreras, son of former big leaguer Jos\u00e9 Contreras (78-67., 4.57 ERA in 11-year career). Joseph will pitch for Brasil as youngest player in WBC.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jose spent part of his 11-year MLB career in the Bronx. His son, one of the better high school arms in the country, got Aaron Judge out on Friday night.<\/p>\n

His son already has heavy interest from scouts as he works his way through the amateur ranks. He\u2019s committed to Vanderbilt and has a fastball in the upper 90s. Perfect Game ranks him as the No. 1 overall RHP in America and the No. 19 player in the class.<\/p>\n

Getting players to walk away from a commitment from Vanderbilt isn\u2019t always easy, but if the youngster goes in the first-round, his signing bonus should be more than enough to pull him away from the college ranks.<\/p>\n
