Prospect Watch: Jeremy Jeffress

Now that Will Inman has been traded and Yovani Gallardo and Manny Parra are in the big leagues Jeremy Jeffress has become the Brewers' top pitching prospect. He's pitching his first season of pro ball at Low-A West Virginia and is turning in a solid season.

Jeffress, 19, is 6-4 with a 3.54 ERA and has an opposing batting average of .211. In 56 innings pitched he's allowed just 43 hits and has struck out 58 batters. He has walked 32 batters however so he does need to work on his control. The way he's pitching though he will most likely begin next season at High-A Brevard County.
