Previously highlighted as one of the top JC transfers this season – from South Mountain CC to Houston this year – the slender-bodied 6-foot-4, 190-pound right-hander held Texas State to two runs on five hits in 5.1 innings at the Astros Foundation College Classic over the weekend. He was most impressive in the third inning when he struck out the side on 15 pitches. With a moderate effort, he repeats a starter-type delivery to a ¾ release point. He spins a plus slider with solid depth and sweep. It’s an out-pitch that he will throw in any count. His fastball has good life and sat in the low-90s, peaking at 95 mph. There also looks to be more in the tank. With maturity and strength gains, projecting to the upper-90s in the next year or two is reasonable. A 14th round pick of the Dodgers last July, Jelkin now profiles as a fourth- or fifth-round selection in this summer’s draft.

10/01/22

Six-foot-4 right-hander with moderate effort from a three-quarter release point. Live 92-94 mph fastball and good feel to spin 80 mph slider that shows good depth and tilt. Potential plus pitch in future. The top prospect in AZ JC this fall and likely one of the top in the country for the 2022-23 season.

9/01/20

Long, lean right-handed pitcher with projectability and a high-waisted frame. Has a long, clean arm action. Fastball has life, working 82-85 T86 mph. Threw a sharp slider 72-73 mph for consistent strikes. Also mixed in a big 11/5 curveball with depth at 70-71 mph. Follow arm in Nebraska 2021 class. Uncommitted.
