This offers a quick overview of the performance of top pitching prospects. The news was better last year. Lincoln is left out because of too many MLB innings.

1. Jameson Taillon (19) RHP - (3.66 ERA / 3.03 FIP / 1.39 BB/9 / 8.53 K/9)

Has lived up to his reputation.

2. Stetson Allie (20) RHP - (5.40 ERA /4.20 FIP /7.20 BB/9 /10.20 K/9)

Only 15 innings and struggling with control , but off to a decent start at State College.

3. Luis Heredia (16) RHP - (4.00 ERA / 4.87 FIP / 9.00 BB/9 / 6.00 K/9)

Only 9 GCL innings. Lots of walks. Would still be in HS if raised in the States.

4. Bryan Morris (24) RHP - (3.65 ERA / 3.28 FIP / 3.67 BB/9 / 7.52 K/9)

In relief in AA.

5. Rudy Owens (23) LHP - (5.27 ERA /4.08 FIP / 2.49 BB/9 /5.41 K/9)

Has struggled in AAA .  Strikeouts and velocity are down; walks are up.

6. Jeff Locke (23) LHP - ( ERA / 3.42 FIP / 3.63 BB/9/ 8.80 K/9) 

Very inconsistent in AA. Walks are up, which might explain things.

7. Zack Von Rosenberg (20) RHP - (7.39 ERA / 4.59 FIP / 1.70 BB/9/ 8.14 K/9)

Getting getting hit hard in WV, but some nice peripherals.

9. Colton Cain (20) LHP -  (3.15 ERA / 3.36 FIP / 2.54 BB/9/ 7.18 K/9)

Best results of the 2009 HS pitchers.

Control is still an issue.
