Jakob Brustoski

Draft Prospects

• Ranked #482 prospect in 2020 draft
  Brustoski is pitching for his third team in three years. He began his college career getting plenty of work out of Youngstown State’s bullpen, racking up 35 strikeouts but walking 38 in 24 innings. He transferred to Sinclar (Ohio) JC where he again piled up whiffs and walks. Brustoski’s control has improved, although it’s still fringe-average at best. He attacks hitters with a 92-95 mph above-average fastball and an average slider. He’s toyed with a changeup as well, which will help him be a reliever who can work against lefties and righties.
• Ranked #499 prospect in 2019 draft
  A Texas Tech signee, Brustoski showed velocity but no control as a freshman at Youngstown State. He transferred to Sinclair (Ohio) JC for his sophomore season and showed even better stuff with much better control--he went from walking 38 in 24 innings as a freshman to 16 in 23 innings at Sinclair. Brustoski had struggled to break 80 mph a couple of years ago. Now he's pumping 93-96 mph fastballs and features a developing slider and changeup.
