Jeremy Wu-Yelland

Wu-Yelland impressed with a 3.16 ERA in the Cape Cod League last summer and entered the year as Hawaii’s top draft prospect. He allowed only one earned run in 13 innings before the season shut down, headlined by four scoreless innings with six strikeouts in a matchup against Vanderbilt. Wu-Yelland brings considerable arm strength from the left side with a fastball that sits 91-94 mph and touches 96. He complements his fastball with a loopy, low-80s breaking ball he keeps out of the middle of the plate and a low-80s changeup that is effective against righties. Wu-Yelland has the three-pitch arsenal to start, but he has struggled to consistently throw strikes in his career. He pitched out of the bullpen exclusively this spring and excelled in both long relief and save situations. He projects as a power-armed lefthanded reliever moving forward.
