DEBUT: Nate Pearson to Make First Start For High-A Dunedin

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitching prospect Nate Pearson has been called up to start for the High-A Dunedin Blue Jays of the Florida State League, according to Baseball America’s Josh Norris. Pearson will start tonight for Dunedin against Bradenton. Pearson was the Blue Jays 1st round pick in 2017. The Blue Jays took it easy with Pearson early on in 2018, as he’s been dealing with what the club has called a ‘minor back injury’. Pearson has the potential to become a dominant big league starter if he can put everything together going forward.
