Top-100 Pitching Prospect Jacob Misiorowski Excelling Early

After checking out some top-100 hitting prospects who are excelling in the early going, let's do the same with top-100 pitchers.

There's a lot fewer pitchers in the top 100, but there's still several guys worth checking in on.

Most Innings Pitched

Detroit's Jackson Jobe and Colorado's Chase Dollander are top-100 prospects with nine innings pitched in 2025.

Jobe has logged all his innings in the big leagues. He's allowed six runs (five earned) on seven hits and seven walks, while also striking out seven. 

Jobe is the team's top prospect and getting his second taste of big league action. His results so far have not been the best, but that's not going to stop fantasy owners from streaming him, at least for a couple more starts. Jobe is a better deep-league fantasy option at this point, but should be watched closely in case things start really clicking for him.

Dollander has pitched a game at Triple-A and just made his MLB debut a couple days ago. In his nine combined innings, he's allowed five runs on 13 hits and three walks, while striking out 11.

He earned the win in his MLB debut, but also allowed four runs over five innings. Dollander is the team's top prospect, so fantasy owners are excited for what he could maybe become. But with his home games being at Coors Field, everyone needs to temper expectations with the youngster.

Milwaukee's Jacob Misiorowski has logged 8 2/3 innings so far. Texas' Kumar Rocker and Pittsburgh's Thomas Harrington are the only other top-100 prospects with eight innings pitched.

Misiorowski has allowed no runs on just one hit, but also has walked seven batters. He's racked up 11 strikeouts as well. 

Misiorowski is the Brewers' No. 4 prospect and should get called up at some point in 2025. He still has control issues to iron out, but if he can keep missing bats and putting up zeros, he could be a fantasy asset as soon as he gets the call.

Rocker has allowed seven runs on 13 hits and two walks over his eight MLB innings. He's struck out four batters and is 0-1.

Rocker is getting his second taste of big league action and it's gotten off to a rocky start. He's the team's No. 2 prospect and will be given time to figure things out, so don't completely bail on Rocker as a fantasy asset - he's probably a better starting option in deeper leagues for the time being though.

Harrington has made a start and relief appearance so far for the Pirates. He has allowed nine runs on 11 hits and five walks, while punching out seven.

He's the team's No. 3 prospect and is getting his first crack at the big leagues. Harrington is just a deep-league fantasy asset at the moment, and maybe one to stash until further notice. Keep tabs on him in case he starts excelling though.

Best WHIPs

Cincinnati's Chase Burns has a 0.50 WHIP after one start at High-A. 

Burns allowed a hit and a walk over four scoreless frames. He also struck out 12 batters. 

Burns is the team's No. 1 prospect and has a 2025 ETA despite being drafted second overall last summer. He's expected to be a quick riser, and he could definitely debut at some point in 2025 if he keeps excelling in the minors.

Chicago White Sox' Hagen Smith and Miami's Thomas White have WHIPs of 1 after four-inning starts at Double-A and High-A, respectively.

Smith allowed a run on no hits and four walks over his four innings. He punched out 10 batters as well.

Smith has a 2026 ETA and is the team's No. 3 prospect. He's only logged 11 2/3 minor league innings since being drafted fifth last summer, but I also wouldn't count out a late-season MLB debut because of the organization he's a part of.

White didn't allow a run on a hit and three walks in his first start. He struck out seven batters along the way.

White is his team's No. 1 prospect and has a 2026 ETA. He was drafted in 2023 and has 104 1/3 minor league innings under his belt. That could help him be a late-season call up if the Marlins want to get a look at their future.

Lowest ERAs

Not many top-100 pitching prospects have looked great in the early going, so even though Pittsburgh's Bubba Chandler and Chicago Cubs' Cade Horton have under four innings pitched, it's worth looking into them after they put up scoreless outings.

Chandler worked just 2 2/3 innings in his first appearance at AAA. He allowed a hit and three walks, while striking out four.

Chandler is the team's top prospect and should debut at some point in 2025. He spent the end of the 2024 season in Triple-A as well, so it might just take an injury or struggles in the big league rotation to get Chandler to the big leagues.

Horton tossed 3 1/3 innings in his only game so far. He allowed four walks and one hit, while striking out six batters.

He's the team's No. 2 prospect and should also debut in 2025. He also ended the 2024 season in AAA, so he likely doesn't need much more minor league seasoning before he'll be ready for the big leagues. An injury or struggles in the rotation could get him a call up.
