Darin Mastroianni, the little-known 24-year-old outfielder out of the University of Southern Indiana quietly tore up the basepaths in 2009. He swiped a mind-boggling 70 bases split between A-Dunedin and AA-New Hampshire, while combining for a not-too-shabby .297/.398/.364 slash line. Mastroianni, the Jays 16th round pick (505th overall) in 2007, also scored 94 runs and posted 76 BB against 83 K's.
In 294 games in the Jays' system since being drafted, Mastroianni has already swiped 120 bases. Expect the Mount Kisco, NY native to continue at AA-New Hampshire to begin the 2010 season. Here's hoping he can continue to achieve the two things he's most successful at: 1) getting on base and 2) stealing the next base and he could be on the fast track to Toronto!
