Similar to Miceli, Miley impressed with his stuff in spite of the underwhelming bottom-line results. He allowed four hits and walks apiece in the outing, striking out three. And while he wasn’t as sharp Thursday as he’d been in previous starts, Miceli did effectively navigate his way through several jams, competing well against a strong Scrappers offense.Īfter dominating in his first two Draft League outings - he struck out nine in four two-hit innings in his previous start - Miley surrendered three first-inning runs and ran up his pitch count early, ultimately working just 2.2 frames. He recorded two whiffs on three swings with his 75-77 mph curveball, spinning it as high as 2953 rpm, and he also mixed in a slider (T2849 rpm) along with a 75-77 mph changeup to give hitters a different look. His heater sat 90-93 mph with late tail and some sinking action that netted him five whiffs and 14 foul balls. Miceli relied heavily on his fastball, throwing it at an 81.7% clip over 3.2 innings. Neither hurler was at his best, and together they allowed eight earned runs on 10 hits in 6.1 innings, but the pure stuff was still plenty good, with both hurlers flashing a deep arsenal in their respective outings. Two of the more interesting Draft League pitching prospects squared off Thursday with State College RHP Joe Miceli (Bergen CC) going up against Scrappers RHP Deylen Miley (Bellarmine).
