Jake Eder Stats

The Chicago White Sox are acquiring left-handed pitching prospect Jake Eder from the Miami Marlins in exchange for third baseman Jake Burger on Tuesday, according to sources. Eder was the Marlins' No. 4 prospect, according to MLB Pipeline. The 24-year-old southpaw already had Tommy John surgery in 2021 and has posted a 4.12 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, 21 walks and 48 strikeouts in 39 1/3 innings over nine starts this year with Single-A Jupiter and Double-A Pensacola. There's a lot to like about Eder's fastball-slider combination, and he's also developing a nice changeup as his third offering. Given Miami's pretty stacked stable of pitching prospects, Eder could reach the majors quicker in his new home in Chicago.

Miami Marlins top pitching prospect Jake Eder (elbow) will be forced to undergo Tommy John Surgery. His 2021 season is over, as is most if not all of 2022 as well. Eder, picked in the fourth round of the 2020 draft, was off to an outstanding start to his professional career. In 71 1/3 Double-A innings, he had a 1.77 ERA and 99 strikeouts with 27 walks. He was quickly moving up prospect rankings and should still be a top-100 guy when he returns. Eder relies more on movement and deception than velocity, so while having him not pitch for over a year is by no means great, he's at a lower risk than most pitchers to not be able to return to form.
