Noah Syndergaard was chosen by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 2010 Amateur Draft out of high school, 38th overall. The choice was compensation for Toronto's failure to sign James Paxton, a 2009 amateur draft first-rounder. Syndergaard was the Jays' third first-round selection after Deck McGuire and Aaron Sanchez, also pitchers.
The right-hander finished his senior year of high school by going 7-3 with an ERA of 1.40 and had 85 strikeouts in 59 innings. He was not listed as one of Baseball America's top 200 prospects heading into the 2010 Amateur Draft. He made his pro debut with the GCL Blue Jays on July 12 with two hitless, walkless, scoreless innings against the GCL Pirates.
