CALL ME DR. PROSPECT👶 Jonah Tong O 5.5 Ks (-110 DK) Jonah Tong O 6.5 Ks (+185 DK) Books are scared of us when it comes to prospects so odds have nuked since sending to VIP. 0.5u at 6.5 if you get +125 or better is fine Show love if tailing❤️ Let’s get familiar with Tong first. In the minors he had a WILD 31.1% K-BB% thanks to his pitch mix that includes: 96mph fastball (55% Usage | 41.1% Whiff%) Changeup (32% Usage | 50% Whiff%) Slider/Curveball (13% Usage | 33.3% Whiff% For context, that K-BB% number would rank #1 in the MLB right now. We have seen prospects Misiorowski (19.4%) and McLean (16.5%) come in and DOMINATE since they got in, and their rates don’t even come close to the nearest comparison is Burns who had 31.4% before being called up, and we saw him have pretty much 10 Ks every game. Today he gets a Marlins matchup that is a bit tough in the K-department but they aren’t without weaknesses. While their whiff rate against the fastball and breaking balls aren’t ideal, when Tong leans on his changeup to put away batters, it’s unbelievably affective. Marlins are pretty average against offspeed from RHPs and Changeups specifically. Lastly, the Marlins haven’t really faced any good pitchers lately who do lean on that Changeup, so we get the upside of them being a little lost in the sense that they haven’t seen it in a while. Woodruff and Peralta are the closest ones and they both use it less than 20% of the time. And for what it’s worth, they combined for 15 Ks across 2 games. Labbed w/ @austinsprops
