Bubba Derby

[NYChez]

There has been a lot of talk about the inflated offensive stats for Colorado Springs players. Bubba Derby’s stats over 18 starts with the team have been very impressive at the altitude - they’d even be impressive at sea level. A 24 year old with a WHIP under 1.3, an ERA a little over 3, and a respectable walk to strikeout ratio in Colorado Springs makes me think that Derby is about to break through as a top-30 prospect.

He was right at 30 in our Pre-Season poll. I love his performance and had him rated our seventh best prospect. I am looking at a number 3 type MLB pitcher as his ceiling and MLB long relief as his floor. Their is not much to dislike.

He gets overlooked I think because he doesn't have the high draft pick pedigree, and because there are a couple posters here that want to believe that Stearns got fleeced in the Khris Davis deal. As it turns out, both Nottingham and Derby are profiling as potential Major League regulars, and if Derby can keep going like he is, he's a potential rotation cog. He doesn't throw super hard, and is not the 6'5", 230 lb. ideal that a lot of people want for their starting rotations, but the guy knows how to pitch, has a solid mix and has gotten results since coming to the Brewer organization. I think that Davis deal may end up eventually looking like a steal for the Brewers.

bubba derby does not have an entry in the 2020 brewers media guide. he did have an entry last year as a non-roster invitee.

 

i know it's a monumental task putting each media guide together.

Mike Vassallo of the Brewers felt bad about the oversight when the guide came out this spring. His staff hadn’t carried over Derby to the 2020 minors section after Derby had been in the non-roster big league invite section in 2019.

 

But yes, Mike and his crew are excellent, it’s a must-have every year.
