Organization Prospect Rankings

Ferrell never generated much attention throughout his time in the minors. After a few nondescript seasons in Class A, Ferrell saw his ERA balloon to 5.54 in 2014 when he reached Double-A Erie. He moved to the bullpen when he returned to Erie to start 2015 and was dominant as the team's closer. After one appearance with Triple-A Toledo, Ferrell made his major league debut in July for a pair of appearances before going back to Triple-A, then returned as a September callup. Ferrell is primarily a fastball-changeup pitcher, with both offerings ticking up when he became a reliever. He has solid command of a fastball that ranges from 90-95 mph. With the fastball jumping up, that added more separation off that pitch to his plus changeup, a swing-and-miss offering at 82-84 mph. Ferrell throws a 75-79 mph slurve that he has trouble throwing for strikes. The lack of a reliable breaking ball hampered Ferrell as a starter and might still be a problem going forward, though perhaps less now that he doesn't have to get through a lineup multiple times. He should be in a position to compete for a middle relief job in the big leagues this year.
