Jonatan Clase's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Toronto Blue Jays outfield prospect Jonatan Clase has looked quite comfortable since joining his new club. Clase was traded to Toronto in exchange for relief pitcher Yimi Garcia. In his first nine games with Triple-A Buffalo, the 22-year-old holds an excellent .294/.351/.474 slash line with three doubles, one home run, four RBI, two swiped bags, and a 3:7 BB:K ratio. Previously, at Triple-A Tacoma earlier this summer, Clase held a solid .274/.373/.483 with 26 stolen bases. In the major leagues this summer, the switch-hitting bat struggled with a .195 AVG. However, Clase could be worth stashing in deeper redraft formats if he continues to play well at Triple-A, as he possesses elite speed that can be very valuable in the stretch run.

The Toronto Blue Jays are acquiring outfield prospect Jonathan Clase from the Seattle Mariners on Friday in exchange for right-handed reliever Yimi Garcia, according to sources. Clase was Seattle's No. 10 prospect, per MLB Pipeline. The 22-year-old will now have a new start in the American League East. Clase made his major-league debut with the Mariners this year and struggled to a .195/.233/.220 slash line with a double, three RBI, three steals and 14 strikeouts in 19 games played. The 5-foot-10, 150-pounder could get more run with the Jays to close out the year, making him worth a look in AL-only leagues. Despite his small frame, Clase could develop some legitimate power, but speed is going to be his primary calling card. The Dominican outfielder stole 26 bases in 59 games for Triple-A Tacoma and had 79 swipes in the minors in 2023.

The Seattle Mariners recalled outfielders Jonathan Clase and Cade Marlowe from Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday. Marlowe is starting in right field for the M's and is hitting ninth against the visiting Los Angeles Angels and right-hander Jose Soriano. Marlowe, a left-handed hitting 27-year-old, made his big-league debut in 2023 and hit .239 (21-for-88) with three homers, three doubles, two triples, 11 homers and four steals in his first 34 games. He hit .235 with 13 homers for Tacoma this year, and he and Clase, the team's No. 10 prospect per MLB Pipeline, could be battling for playing time with Julio Rodriguez (ankle) on the 10-day injured list. Clase, a 22-year-old switch-hitter, has looked overmatched in his MLB debut in 2024, going 8-for-41 (.195) at the plate with no homers, a double, three RBI, three swipes and a 14:2 K:BB in 43 trips to the plate and 19 games played.
