Eric Jokisch 2010 Draft Sleeper Pick

Baseball in Illinois News Sources

PGCrossChecker.com scouting report on Erick Jokisch from Northwestern University in Evanston Illinois.

Scouting reports on Jokisch, including those found here at Perfect Game, are frequently quite similar: ‘Knows how to pitch, projects to throw harder.’ That’s usually a good recipe for bigger and better things to come. He posted better numbers his first year in school, when he was named the Big Ten’s freshman of the year, than as a sophomore, but he followed up last year with a strong showing on the Cape (1.36 ERA in eight games). His stuff is solid average for a lefty, sitting in the mid-to-upper 80s with the ability to pitch in the 88-92 range when he is at his best. He also throws a slider and a changeup, and is adept at changing speeds and hitting his spots, much like former Wildcat lefty J.A. Happ.

Eric is from Virginia, Illinois and is a Junior at Northwestern.
