RHP Zach Pop (Brampton, Ont.) a former Toronto Met and Ontario Blue Jay ranked as the 27th best prospect on Cape Cod this year, according to Baseball America.

Two Canadians were ranked among the top prospects in the summer collegiate leagues by the highly-respected Baseball America.

RHP Zach Pop (Brampton, Ont.) was ranked 27th best on Cape Cod. The former Ontario Blue Jays and Toronto Met was pitching for the Wareham Gatemen. Next spring he’ll pitch for the Kentucky Wildcats.

3B Dane Tofteland (Okotoks, Alta.) was named third best in the Great Lakes League. Tofteland is a grad of the Okotoks Dawgs Academy and is playing next spring for the Indiana State Sycamores.

Cape Cod
1. Brady Singer, rhp, Falmouth (So., Florida) •
Drafted 56th overall by the Blue Jays in 2015, Singer was the highest-picked high school player in the draft to continue on to college last year. He worked primarily out of the bullpen this spring for the Gators and joined Falmouth’s rotation after Florida’s season ended in the College World Series. Including the playoffs, he made six appearances for the Commodores, going 2-0, 0.64 with 25 strikeouts and three walks in 28 innings. Singer was electric in his time on the Cape.

27. Zach Pop, rhp, Wareham (Jr., Kentucky)
Pop has big stuff, though the former Canadian Junior National Team member has been unable to harness it consistently during his college career. He showed the same traits again this summer, impressing at times with his power arsenal but at other times struggling to throw strikes.

Pop throws his fastball in the low 90s and is capable of getting it up to 96 mph. He gets groundball outs with the pitch thanks both to its sinking action and the downhill angle his 6-foot-4 frame creates. He combines his sinker with a solid slider and also shows a changeup, though it needs further development. Pop’s delivery has some effort to it, which leads to his inconsistent command. If he’s able to smooth it out, he has the physical body and arsenal to give him a chance to start. Otherwise, his sinker-slider mix should play well in the bullpen.

Great Lakes League
1. Kevin Woodall, 1b, Lima Locos (Jr., Coastal Carolina)
Woodall’s start with the Lima Locos came much later than anyone could have anticipated thanks to Coastal Carolina’s national title run, but the big-bodied corner infielder shone throughout the summer. His big bat helped push the Locos to the league finals, and he collected 25 hits in just 66 at-bats (.379)—including five doubles and four homers—between the playoffs and regular season. His father Kevin was a sixth-round pick as a middle infielder in 1990, and the younger Woodall displays a good glove at first base even with a 6-foot-5, 235-pound frame.

3. Dane Tofteland, 3b, Hamilton (R-So., Indiana State)
Tofteland impressed throughout the summer with the Joes, hitting .379/.467/.679 in 39 games in the regular season with nine homers. He also hit four homers in limited playing time with the Sycamores this spring. He has a natural swing, and even though it’s more geared for line drives, he’s shown the strength to hit balls out and do it in games. He handles third base well for some with a 6-foot-4, 215-pound frame, with a dependable glove and a good arm. He’s a threat on the bases as well, swiping 18 bags over the summer. He earned the league’s Top Player Prospect award.
