Prospect of the Day:  LHP Jed Bradley

It has been a phenomenal beginning to the year for left-hander Jed Bradley. He has begun his professional career by tossing 19-consecutive innings without surrendering a single earned run. He has struck out eighteen batters over that time frame and has held opposing hitters to a .156 batting average.

Bradley continues what has been a strong start to the season by Brewers pitching prospects. He could see Double-A by the time June comes around, especially if he continues to dominate as he has done throughout the month of April in Brevard County. The command has been beautiful. He has shown an ability to spot his slurve for strikes and mixes in both a two-seam and four-seam fastball. The changeup is also coming along nicely.

The Milwaukee Brewers have some promising pitching chugging through the system. Much of it needs another year or two before it will have any potential impact at the big league level, but it’s incredibly encouraging to see such positive results after such a dearth of homegrown pitching talent over the past twenty years.
