After completing his final season for the Beavers, and being drafted by the Oakland Athletics, Jake Pfennigs pitched sparingly for two teams, the A's ACL team and the Class A Stockton Ports in the California State League.
Jakes combined season stats were "Rookie-ish" and reflected a transition to Pro ball.
8 1/3 IP, 14 hits, 12 runs (7 earned), 5 BB + 1 HBP, 10K, and an opposing BA of .368. His record was 0-1, with an ERA of 7.56 and a 2.28 WHIP
The Scouts love his 6-7 frame, athleticism and his ability to spin the old apple
"Jake Pfennigs, RHP, Athletics
A 13th-round pick out of Oregon State, Pfennigs pitched in parts of four seasons with the Beavers. The 6-foot-7 righthander mixes four pitches, but primarily works off of his fastball, blending in his two breaking ball shapes as well. His four-seam fastball sits 91-92 mph, touching 93 mph with spin rates in the 2,400-2,500 rpm range. His fastball doesn’t miss many bats, instead it’s used to set up a pitcher’s count, allowing Pfennigs to deploy his breaking balls. His slider is a low-80s sweeper with between 2,700-2,800 rpm of raw spin and nearly a foot of sweep on average, and it works as his best bat misser. He also shows a curveball at 75-77 mph with raw spin rates in the 2,800-2,900 rpm range and plus depth. He primarily works off of the two breaking balls but did show a changeup a handful of times during his debut. He’s a later-round find with some interesting traits on his pitch mix".
