Trey Supak

Trey Supak might not be a name you’ve heard much, but one that should definitely be on everyone’s radar. He has been tearing up the minor leagues this season and flying up the ranks of Milwaukee Brewers’ prospects.

At Double-A Biloxi this season, hitters cannot find the barrel of the bat when he is pitching. He is not a huge strikeout pitcher, only 6.5 per nine innings this season, but he does not allow many baserunners. His WHIP of 0.855 is extremely good and he only allows 1.6 walks per nine innings.

He controls the strike zone and gets weak contact which allows him to pitch deep into games. In his 19 starts this season, he has thrown 117 innings, averaging over six innings per start. He is already a mature and polished professional pitcher that could see time in the MLB as early as next year, especially for a rebuilding team looking to take a chance on a potential ace.

As an added bonus to any National League team that acquires him, he has also shown a hitting prowess this season. In his 25 plate appearances this season, he has eight hits, giving him a batting average of .320. This is a small sample size and there’s no guarantee that he could hit better pitching, but knowing that he can swing a bat and can get you a couple of extra runs per year which could make a difference.

Overall, Supak is an exciting prospect that has dominated Double-A this season and his youth is also something to be noted. He is only four days older than Freddy Peralta and has lots of room to grow and could have a very long prime for a major league team.
