Michael Plassmeyer

Plassmeyer is a back-of-the-rotation starter who has earned notice as a useful draftee because of his reliability and plus control. Plassmeyer gained a tick to his fastball this year, although he still sits at a modest 86-90 mph although he'll now bump 92 early in outings. He's also improved his slider this year, refining it into an average offering. His changeup is a below-average pitch at this point. Plassmeyer went 5-4, 3.05 during Missouri's regular season, with 103 strikeouts in 93 innings.
