Jackson Ferris

Already one of the more electric arms in the lower levels of the minors, Ferris gained a bit more prospect helium after the Dodgers targeted him in the trade that sent Michael Busch to the Cubs. Ferris has an extremely projectable 6-foot-4, 195-pound frame, particularly for a southpaw. He sits in the mid-90s with his fastball, which has excellent movement characteristics, and already boasts a plus curveball and above-average slider. The Dodgers' main focus will likely be on helping him repeat his delivery and improve his command. He had a 32.5 percent strikeout rate and 13.9 percent walk rate in his pro debut at Single-A, where most hitters couldn't touch him (.177 AVG against). A lot can go wrong with young, lanky fireballers like Ferris, but he has the upside to finish the season as a top-10 pitching prospect in baseball. Read Past Outlooks
