The Toronto Blue Jays&#8217; farm system is almost firing on all cylinders. The Florida Complex League is officially in full swing, and now every minor league affiliate is playing meaningful games for the 2025 season except for the Dominican Summer League, which begins on June 2nd.
With almost every affiliate having over a month of games under their belt, let&#8217;s take a look and see who<a href="https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/minor-league?pos=all&amp;level=0&amp;lg=2,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,14,12,13,15,16,17,18,30,32&amp;stats=bat&amp;qual=30&amp;type=0&amp;team=&amp;season=2025&amp;seasonEnd=2025&amp;org=14&amp;ind=0&amp;splitTeam=false&amp;players=&amp;sort=7,1"> leads in various offensive statistical</a> categories to begin the new campaign. The pitching leaders will come tomorrow.
*Minimum 30 plate appearances 
Hits: Yohendrick Pinango &amp; Manuel Beltre (35) 

Acquired at the trade deadline last year, Yohendrick Pinango struggled in double-A to finish out the 2024 season but has bounced back nicely in 2025, becoming a leading force on the Fisher Cats. He owns a .982 OPS and has 35 hits this year, tied with Manuel Beltre for the lead in the Jays&#8217; farm system. Pinango has 11 multi-hit games this season, including a 4 for 4 outing back on April 19th with a triple in the mix.
A familiar name for the prospect watchers, Beltre is back in single-A Dunedin this season and is really finding a groove at the plate, collecting six doubles, two homers, and 17 RBIs out of the gate. His 35 hits have led him to a .304 average and a .824 OPS, while the right-handed bat has 11 multi-hit games as well, three of which were three-hit affairs.

Doubles: Arjun Nimmala (9)
You&#8217;ve probably heard of Arjun Nimmala &#8211; he&#8217;s lighting up the Northwest League with the Vancouver Canadians. He owns a .280/.349/.534 slash line with a .882 OPS. He also leads the Jays&#8217; farm system in doubles, with nine under his belt.
From April 9th through April 15th, the top-ranked Jays prospect had four doubles through five games while collecting two doubles against the Hillsboro Hops on April 30th. Nimmala added three more doubles in May and is sitting well for a promotion shortly.
Home Runs: Arjun Nimmala &amp; Adrian Pinto (7)
Nimmala continues to find ways to rank in the farm system. The 19-year-old has seven knocks on the year, five of which came last month. He had a three-game stretch against the Everett AquaSox in late April where he had a three-game streak of collecting a round-tripper, and has found himself at the top of the leaderboard while facing arms that have years of experience on the former first-round pick.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Joining Nimmala at the top of the list is Adrian Pinto, who has been in the Jays system since being acquired in early 2022 as part of the Randal Grichuk trade to the Colorado Rockies. A teammate of Nimmala in Vancouver, the 5-foot-6 right-handed batter is mashing, authoring a .608 SLG with a .984 OPS to go along with his seven homers. He smacked a home run in his first game of the season and added three more in April before exploding in May, collecting three more against the Spokane Indians, two of which came on May 7th, where he went 3 for 4 at the plate with a walk and three RBIs.
Both Pinto and Nimmala are tied for the league lead in homers with Lazaro Montes on the Everett AquaSox.
RBIs: Sean Keys (22)
A fourth-round pick of the Blue Jays last summer, this is Sean Keys first full professional season, and the infielder is finding a groove in high-A Vancouver to begin the season. Through 27 games and 98 at-bats, Keys has amassed a .225/.361/.418 slash line with a .780 OPS, but leads all Jays prospects in RBIs with 22.
The New York product collected 13 of these in April, including six during his last two contests to finish out the month, and has added nine more so far this month, seven of which came in their most recent series against the Spokane Indians where he went 6 for 20 at the plate with three doubles and two home runs.

Walks: Je&#8217;Von Ward (26)
Another category, another Canadian on the list. Je&#8217;Von Ward should change his walk-up song to &#8216;Walking on Sunshine&#8217; because the California product is an on-base machine.
Through 22 games, Ward owns a .391 OBP and has 26 walks compared to 17 strikeouts. To start the season, he collected nine walks in his first four games and has seven games this year where he has two or more walks in a single game. From April 16th through April 25th, Ward walked in six consecutive games that included two games with free passes apiece, accounting for 38.5% of his walk total.
Ward sits second in the Northwest League with his 26 walks.
Stolen Bases: Jonatan Clase (15)
The only player in the Jays&#8217; farm system with double-digit stolen bases is Jonatan Clase, the only Buffalo Bisons player to make the list (and is now in the Major Leagues).
He has three games this season with two stolen bases on record and has only been caught twice.
