First-round picks Warmoth, Pearson sign with Blue Jays, practise in Toronto
TORONTO — In Nate Pearson’s first visit to Toronto he got right down to the business of being a tourist, going to the CN Tower and dining with his family in the revolving restaurant at the top of the landmark.
He got to be on the field at Rogers Centre on Wednesday afternoon along with fellow Blue Jays prospect Logan Warmoth. Both signed with the club after being selected in the first round of Major League Baseball’s draft on June 12.
“It was a dream come true,” said Pearson. “I’ve been chasing this dream since I was five years old. To have my family and friends around when it actually happened was pretty awesome.”
Warmoth, a well-rounded shortstop, was just as enthusiastic about his first visit to Toronto.
