View Draft Report

Jekielek is a 6-foot, 185-pound senior reliever who has spent four years pitching out of the bullpen for Northwood (Mich.). He’s a straight reliever prospect who throws from an entirely sidearm—and at times submarine—arm slot and pounds the zone with his fastball, though the pitch sits in the upper 80s and will get into the low 90s at peak. He throws both an upper-70s slider and upper-70s changeup but the breaking ball is his primary secondary offering and one that will likely be better in right-on-right matchups in pro ball.
