Kyle Muller, Jesuit College Prep (Texas)
Position: LHP
Ht/Wt: 6’5/230
B/T: Right/Left
DOB: 10/7/1997
Like Joey Wentz, Muller has made a name for himself as a power-hitting prospect as well as a pitcher. However, after improving his velocity this spring, he’ll begin his pro career on the mound.
Muller already has a major-league body. That doesn’t leave a ton of room for projection, but his fastball may have a little juice left as he gets stronger. He was throwing in the mid 80s last summer and has been more consistently in the low 90s this spring.
He has a big breaking curveball as well as a changeup but both of the pitches need more refinement. He has some natural deception in his delivery as he rocks back before releasing the ball. He throws strikes but is dinged for being too “methodical.”
A late riser, Muller looks like a surefire first rounder. He’s been directly linked to the club with their picks at #20 and #32. And hey, the last time the Dodgers took a big lefty from the Dallas area, that turned out CK—er, OK.
