The Book on Jeremy Jeffress

Prospect Info


MLWJeremy Jeffress
Born 9/21/1987
RHP, MLW

Another good thing/bad thing pitching prospect. Jeffress lights up radar guns with three-figure readings almost every night (that's a good thing), but needs work on his control (bad thing). He's also lacking solid pitches to combine with the heater, though coaches are working on that.

If you're one of those owners who must own every 100mph hurler, you should grab Jeffress now. The rest of us will wait until 2009 or 2010.

Player Updates and Notes

Jeffress, bouncing back from the 50-game suspension he received for a "drug of abuse" test in 2007, says he's fully recovered from treatment and is looking forward to 2008.
