8. Jacob Bresnahan LHP. DOB: 6/27/2005. 6' 4", 195 lbs. Rule 5 Eligible Dec. 2027.
2025(A): 9-3, 2.61, 93 IP, 12.00 K/9, 4.16 BB/9.
Before I looked at Bresnahan's numbers and MLB Pipeline scouting report, I didn't think I would rank him this high. I saw him pitch against Rancho Cucamonga early in the season and wasn't that impressed with his stuff and the first 6 weeks of his season were rough. Through his first 3 starts his line stood at 0-1, 8.18, 11 IP, 8 BB, 12 K. I think I saw him in the third game of that stretch. The rest of the season he went 9-2, 1.85, 82.2 IP, 12.19 K/9, 2.81 BB/9 which is elite and at just his age 19 season.
His MLB Pipeline scouting report has his FB 91-94 MPH topping out at 96. I think the game I saw him he was at the lower end of that range. Presumably he either gained command or built his velocity as teh season progressed. His best secondary pitch is a fading changeup and also has a sweeping slider.
He's a big kid who still has room to fill out his frame and get stronger. He should start out 2026 in A+ ball with a chance to move up to AA before the season is over. Starting to get some national recognition as a nice prospect but still qualifies as a sleeper with a lot of upside and a high ceiling.
