Prospect of the Day:  RHP Taylor Jungmann

Jungmann enjoyed the best start of his professional career on Thursday evening. He almost extended his scoreless outing through seven innings, but a two-out walk ended his night in the top of the seventh. Thursday evening also marked the most strikeouts in a single game (5 Ks) for Jungmann this year.

The right-hander mostly sat 90-92 MPH — he touched 93 MPH a few times — with his fastball and mixed in a curveball and a changeup. He pounded the zone and was able to throw strikes with all three of his pitches, which will naturally keep A-ball hitters off balance. He even back-doored a couple curveballs for strikeouts, which again speaks to his command and his maturity on the mound.

The Brewers are likely hoping for him to regain a couple ticks on his fastball that he possessed in college, but he could simply be throwing more two-seam fastballs instead of sticking with the harder (and straighter) four-seamer. Either way, it does seem that Brevard County will be a short stop for Jungmann, who should find himself in Double-A Huntsville sometime over the summer.
