Juaron Watts-Brown Strikes Out Career-Best 10 Batters
Toronto Blue Jays pitching prospect Juaron Watts-Brown tallied a career-high 10 strikeouts during his first start of the High-A regular season. Watts-Brown was in control during his entire start as he tossed four 2/3 innings of three-hit ball. He did not allow a run and served up just one free pass. This was a strong season debut for Watts-Brown, who struggled during his first taste of High-A last summer. The former third-round selection from the 2023 MLB Draft opened the 2024 campaign with Low-A and held a solid 3.43 ERA with a 1.28 WHIP across 57 2/3 innings. However, he was then moved up to High-A, where he took a step back, holding a high 6.35 ERA with a 1.61 WHIP across 45 1/3 innings. He posted a modest 31:57 BB:K. If Watts-Brown continues progressing at High-A, he should push for a Double-A debut in the coming months.
