Over the weekend, Toronto Blue Jays outfield prospect Alan Roden went 8-for-13 (.615 AVG) with two doubles for Triple-A Buffalo. Roden has been on a tear in August (84 PA), slashing .378/.441/.622 with seven doubles, a triple, three home runs, 15 RBI, and 9:11 BB/SO. Overall, he has an .825 OPS this season between Double-A and Triple-A. Toronto's No. 13 prospect (per MLB.com), Roden (24) will likely make his MLB debut at some point next season.
Toronto Blue Jays outfield prospect Alan Roden has been struggling in the batter's box since moving up to Triple-A on June 16. In his first 16 games at the top level of the minor leagues the former third-round pick has posted a disappointing .167/.286/.278 line with two home runs, eight RBI, and an 8:10 BB:K ratio. However, earlier this season at Double-A New Hampshire, the Creighton product held a solid .267/.373/.432 line with seven long balls and 27 RBI. Roden should contend for a major league debut in the second half of the summer, but if this slump continues to linger, he might have to wait until 2025.
Toronto Blue Jays outfield prospect Alan Roden has been off to a great start at Double-A to begin the 2024 season. Roden has posted a strong .290/.388/.464 line with two round-trippers and two stolen bases. Last season, the 24-year-old put up similar numbers in Double-A (.310/.421/.460), suggesting that Roden may be ready to move up to Triple-A. MLB Pipeline ranked Roden as the seventh-best prospect in the Toronto system and projects him to reach the major league level later this summer. As a result, dynasty and keeper league managers should monitor Roden's status as he could be joining Triple-A Buffalo fairly soon.
