Top 60 All-Time Greatest Jays: #35 Kevin Pillar Share this story Kevin Andrew Pillar | CF | 2013-2019 Ok, this surprised me. I didn’t expect to see Kevin on the list. But then he is number 5 on the Baseball Reference. Blue Jays leader board for defensive WAR. Kevin Pillar was the Blue Jays’ 32nd round pick in the 2011 draft. He is one of just two players chosen in that round to make the majors. Billy Burns was the other. He played center field for the A’s and Royals for parts of four seasons. Pillar hit well, climbing the ladder in the Jays minor league system. When you are drafted in the 32nd round, you don’t get to jump levels, but Piller made study progress. He hit .324/.367/.479 in 413 minor league games, with a better walk rate than he’s ever shown us in the majors.
