Blue Jays: 3 players in the Florida Complex League to keep an eye on down the stretch

Although most recognition goes to the AAA-A levels of minor league baseball, the Florida Complex League (FCL) hosts exciting games throughout the season, featuring young talent and rehabbing major leaguers. The FCL Blue Jays have had a great run this year, sitting only one game behind the FCL Tigers for the lead of the North Division, which has only about a month of games left to play.

The team’s 24-16 record can be attributed to a few key prospects who could find themselves with a promotion if they can continue their solid play.

Here are three names to watch closely as the FCL season approaches its final month of 2025.

RHP Diego Dominguez

A former member of the Dominican Summer League (DSL) Cardinals and Blue Jays, Diego Dominguez struggled with both teams during his tenures there in 2022 and 2024, respectively.

He appears to have found a new gear since moving to the Florida Complex League, however, as his 5.40 ERA from his 2024 DSL campaign has dropped down to a wicked 0.93 through 19 1/3 innings. He’s holding opposing bats to a .167 average and has authored a 0.93 WHIP in the process.

The former Intercounty Baseball League Toronto Maple Leaf and University of Central Oklahoma pitcher could find himself in A-level ball if he continues the pace he’s on. His main strength throughout his career has been his command, posting a near 0.5-1 walk per inning pitched ratio.

OF/1B David Beckles

David Beckles’ journey has been similar to Dominguez’s. He’s a former DSL player who struggled with a different team before being signed by the Jays. In Beckles’ case, he played with the FCL NYY Bombers from 2022 to part of 2024 before being released.
