Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos said he sees promise in some of the organization's young pitchers, according to the Toronto Star. Anthopoulos singled out Drew Hutchison and Marcus Stroman after both players had strong showings in the prospect-laden Arizona Fall League.
Hutchison was 2-1 with a 3.32 ERA in six starts for Salt River. He struck out 20 batters and posted a .217 opponents' batting average in 21 2/3 innings.
Stroman was 1-2 with a 3.09 ERA in nine relief appearances for Salt River. He struck out 13 and had a .186 opponents' batting average in 11 2/3 innings.
"Seeing how good they looked and the command they had was encouraging," Anthopoulos said.
