Future Games Spotlight - LHP Pete Jezerinac Jr.
July 23, 2022
The 2022 PBR Future Games are less than a week away, and will be here in no time. With that being said, we would like to introduce you to this year's Team Georgia. We will roll out individual player spotlights with comments, video, stats, and more over the next few days.
LHP Pete Jezerinac Jr. (Kennesaw Mountain, 2024) is undoubtedly the most under the radar prospect on Team Georgia. But that will quickly change in a couple of days. The 6 foot 2, 155 pounder pitches with a very high tempo that constricts a hitters approach quickly each AB. He has a near perfect arm action for repeatability of all pitches - mid depth, 1 piece, short but full arm stroke from a H ¾ slot. As soon as he toes the rubber he starts his delivery, also wasting little time between pitches. This would be tough to repeat with a longer arm action. Pete stays extremely patient and connected over the rubber and stays tall with the bend of his back knee, creating a downhill plane to go with his unique angle. He commands his 84-86 T87 turbo sinker on the outer edge with late tail early in the count to RHH, putting them behind 0-2 before they can blink. They either bash it into the ground foul or swing & miss. Then you’re at the mercy of his late fading bugs bunny CH at 76-77, and there aren’t many as good in the southeast for his class. But that's not all, he also possesses a sweeping low 70’s SLV with 2 plane snap that he can locate to both edges. Jezerinac’s trio of repeatability, pitchability, and projection are very hard to find.

Scouting Report
Uncommitted. The 6 foot 2, 155 pounder pitches with a very high tempo that constricts a hitters approach quickly each AB. He has a near perfect arm action for repeatability of all pitches - mid depth, 1 piece, short but full arm stroke from a H ¾ slot. As soon as he toes the rubber he starts his delivery, also wasting little time between pitches. This would be tough to repeat with a longer arm action. Pete stays extremely patient and connected over the rubber and stays tall with the bend of his back knee, creating a downhill plane to go with his unique angle. He commands his 84-86 T87 turbo sinker on the outer edge with late tail early in the count to RHH, putting them behind 0-2 before they can blink. They either bash it into the ground foul or swing & miss. Then you’re at the mercy of his late fading bugs bunny CH at 76-77, and there aren’t many as good in the southeast for his class. But that's not all, he also possesses a sweeping low 70’s SLV with 2 plane snap that he can locate to both edges. Jezerinac’s trio of repeatability, pitchability, and projection are very hard to find.
Uncommitted. 6 foot 2, 155 pounds with coat hanger shoulders & long levers. One of the most exciting finds of 2022 for me. It's rare to find a rising junior who can command 3 pitches with consistent movement. The bats he faced spoke volumes, having trouble squaring up anything the entire start. Funky high tempo delivery, standout arm speed from high 3/4 slot. Patient over rubber, works downhill very well. FB 84-85 T86 heavy sinker, late tail+unique angle. Sweeping low 70’s SLV 2 plane snap, consistent shape. CH 76-77 fade. If he continues to progress on a steady pace, we’ll be seeing him pitch at the games highest level someday.
