Brandon Eisert

A three-year college performer for Oregon State, Eisert will look great on statistical models after his time in Corvallis. A 6-foot-2, 209-pound lefty, Eisert posted 2.31 and 2.53 ERAs for the Beavers out of the bullpen as a freshman and sophomore, and this spring has split time starting and relieving. Through 14 games and 62 innings this spring (seven starts), Eisert has once again done well, with a 2.03 ERA and a career-high strikeout rate (10.7 per nine), with 74 strikeouts to just 13 walks. Eisert has a solid four-pitch mix, enough that he could get a chance to start at the next level considering how he’s done this spring, but he might work best in a relief role where his fringe-average fastball, which touches 93, could play up. Eisert has a solid slider and changeup, and also throws a curveball that he can locate, but does more with control and command than by overwhelming hitters. Eisert’s collapses his lower half with drop-and-drive mechanics that includes a crossfire landing, though he hides the ball well which also allows his stuff to play up.
