Prospect of the Day: RHP Drew Gagnon
Drew Gagnon looks the part of a professional pitcher. He is 6-foot-4 with a frame that can hold good muscle, which should obviously aid durability and velocity going forward. He also comes from a solid baseball school at Cal State Long Beach — yes, that means he is a “Dirtbag.” The Brewers drafted him in the third round of the 2011 Draft and thought he had a chance to be a back-end starter someday.
After only throwing 19 innings in Helena last season, he carved up the Midwest League. He compiled a 2.83 ERA in 82.2 innings with the Timber Rattlers, striking out 65 and only walking 19. Since getting to the Florida State League, that overall success on the mound has continued, though his strikeout-to-walk ratio has decreased a touch.
Gagnon has always worked off his fastball, which sits in the 89-93 MPH range. Scouts really liked his curveball last fall in the instructional leagues, and his changeup is an average offering — which provides him with the requisite three-pitch repertoire to have a chance to remain in the starting rotation as he climbs the minor league ranks. The organization feels he can be a workhorse, back-end starter. The right-hander hasn’t done anything this season to prove otherwise, either.



I see Nashville is following in the big league club’s footsteps– 8th blown save in August. ugh.
I am glad to see guys like Davis and Morris emerge, not just as possible useful pieces for the Brewers, but perhaps as chips they might use to acquire other talent. Gagnon’s progress is encouraging, too. As they say, you can never have too much pitching…
Thanks, Jim, for these daily reports. I have enjoyed reading them this season.
