Prospect Junkies: - Top 30 Pitching Prospects

2011 Top 30 Starting Pitching Prospects

1. Julio Teheran - RHP - ATL - 6'2" 150 - 1.27.91. Signed: Columbia 2007. Teheran has everything you look for in a pitcher. A live arm that consistently produces mid 90's fastballs, good secondary stuff and command of all pitches.
2. Jeremy Hellickson - RHP - TB - 6'1" 185 - 4.8.87. High School: Des Moines (IA) Drafted: 4th Round 2005. The Matt Garza trade to the Cubs opens up a rotation spot for last year's Minor League Player of the Year. I had the pleasure of watching Hellickson pitch last year, click here for my scouting report.
3. Michael Pineda - RHP - SEA - 6'5" 250 - 1.18.89. Signed: Dominican Republic 2005. Just as I'm partial to patient hitters, I'm a sucker for power pitchers especially when they throw 100, and post a K/9 of 9.9 to just 2.2 BB/9.


21. Jenrry Mejia - RHP - NYM - 6'0" 160 - 10.11.89. Signed: Dominican Republic 2007. I'm not a fan of the way the Mets handled Mejia in 2010, but he'll enter 2011 focused on starting. He can always use a future move to the bullpen as plan B.
