Prospect of the Day:  RHP Drew Gagnon

In a day that did not feature too much excitement amongst the Brewers’ minor league affiliates — aside from Gennett’s walkoff home run for the Stars — Gagnon’s scoreless start was a breath of fresh air. The right-hander has thrown 11.1 consecutive scoreless innings and has struck out 21 batters in 20.1 innings with the Timber Rattlers.

Gagnon features a low-90s fastball, but it’s his potentially plus-changeup that has people in Appleton talking about the kid. He should be able to handle lefties rather well with that changeup, despite the fact that he currently possesses a tremendous platoon split. Right-handers are only hitting .114 off Gagnon, while left-handers are enjoying a .286 batting average. Expect those numbers to even out some as the season progresses.

The organization hopes that Gagnon can develop into a back-end starter. He could end up in the bullpen, though, where his fastball would play up in velocity due to the short-stint in the game. As they do with almost every pitcher, however, the Brewers will give Gagnon every chance to stick as a starting pitcher before entertaining any thoughts about a switch to the bullpen. At the very least, expect a mid-season call up to Brevard County, as the 21-year-old Gagnon is a bit old for the Midwest League and should be facing better competition.
