None of those are on par with his career numbers and insinuate that he has had a run of bad luck. Keep holding on though, as his 4.44 ERA comes with a 2.05 FIP.
He certainly has been underwhelming so far this season. If Castillo’s fastball keeps performing this way, expect a career-high in K% and SwStr%. In 2019 he average 96.5 MPH and so far this year he is averaging 97.6 MPH. The reason behind this seems to be his velocity. Here is the crazy thing, so far this year Castillo’s four-seam fastball has a 16.4 SwStr% well above the league average of roughly 11%. Trust me, there is nothing better than watching Castillo throw his changeup. The rise in his strikeout rate shouldn’t surprise many as Castillo has two legitimate swing and miss pitches in his changeup and slider. Luis Castillo – Luis Castillo’s 16.1% SwStr% matches up well with his 30.3 K%. With Bieber’s stellar command and deep arsenal expect him to continue making his case as the best pitcher in baseball. If hitters keep chasing his curveball, by all means, keep throwing it outside of the zone. There is good reasoning here though because when Bieber has thrown his curveball outside of the zone it has produced a. The crazy part is that he never throws it into the zone as it only has a 21.5% zone rate. The golden egg here is his curveball, it currently has a 54.7 O-Swing%, 27.5 SwStr%, and 88.2 GB%. The 19.8% is driven by his two secondary pitches, both of which have a 27.0 SwStr% or higher.
The Brewers qualify as one of those teams.ĭon't be surprised if the Brewers select Carr somewhere in the 3-5 round range.Shane Bieber – Shane Bieber’s 18.7 SwStr% comes with a 43.3 K%, both of which are insanely high and likely due for regression. He can spin the ball well and Draft analyst Joe Doyle writes that Carr "should be an appealing option to analytically-driven teams". He'll need to develop some consistency with his secondary pitches, but that's something the Brewers have shown a real knack for being able to develop.Ĭarr has swing and miss stuff and the potential to add more velocity as he matures. He dominated for Palomar this year with 111 strikeouts and just 19 walks in 78 IP. Kyle Carr is the highest rated JuCo arm on both MLB Pipeline and Baseball America, coming in at 174 overall on Pipeline and 158 on BA.Ĭarr can run his fastball up to 97 MPH and has an athletic delivery.
Brewers Junior College Draft Target #1: LHP Kyle Carr, Palomar JC Who could it be? Here are the top ranked JuCo arms in this year's Draft class that should intrigue the Brewers. It stands to reason the Brewers will continue this trend in 2023 and select one of the top junior college pitchers in the country in the first few rounds. It started with Bowden Francis in the 7th round in 2017, then Aaron Ashby in 2018, Antoine Kelly in 2019, Logan Henderson and Carlos Rodriguez in 2021, and Jacob Misiorowski and Tyler Woessner in 2022. In every single draft since Johnson took over, with the exception of the shortened 5 round 2020 Draft, the Brewers have selected one of the top Junior College pitchers in the entire class. The Brewers promoted Tod Johnson to the scouting director job in 2016 and his first Draft class was 2017. The man in charge of the Draft is the scouting director, Tod Johnson. While most fans think of David Stearns or Matt Arnold as the decision-makers in the Brewers front office, when it comes to the MLB Draft, they are not the ones in charge.
