Prospect Watch: Jeremy Jeffress

Jeremy Jeffress, the Brewers' 2006 first round pick has had three starts for High-A Brevard County since returning from his 50 game suspension. The results so far have been mixed. He allowed five runs his first start, pitched a five inning shutout in his second start with 10 k's, and allowed nine runs in his last start.

Through three starts Jeffress is 1-2 with a 10.33 ERA in 21.2 innings pitched. He's allowed 21 hits, walked six batters, and struck out 22. He definitely has the potential to be dominant. He's been striking a ton of guys out. I believe he'll become more consistent as he gets more starts. The Brewers are really hoping Jeffress can perform with how weak starting pitching currently is in the system.

Here is some footage off YouTube from his 10 strikeout performance.
