Frederickson is a big, strong southpaw who pitched at two levels after being drafted in the 2nd round by the Brewers. He compiled a 0-1 record with a 5.06 ERA and a disappointing 31 BB/34 K's in 32 innings. Frederickson has a lively fastball that sits at 90-92 MPH, but touches 95 MPH occasionally. He also has a potentially wicked slider that has good two plane movement but is inconsistent. Frederickson's stock rose considerably prior to the draft as many scouts were enamored with his strong projectible frame and good southpaw velocity. The biggest knock on Evan is his lack of control on the mound. Much of this can be attributed to the mechanical glitches in his delivery, which a good pitching instructor could work with Frederickson to iron out. The Brewers moved Frederickson to the bullpen last season and it seems prudent to project him staying there as a future power lefty arm.
2009 Projection: Frederickson will likely pitch the majority of his season where he struggled last year, at Low-A West Virginia. The Brewers drafted a bunch of college arms in the first few rounds of last year's draft, affording them the luxury of developing Frederickson more carefully. There's lots to like about his physical attributes, but the command of his pitches is a little bit more difficult to project. Watch this closely next season. Also keep an eye on what role he pitches in with Milwaukee. If he starts finishing games and shows that he can dominate hitters, he could be a sleeper for a closer position down the road. Given his rawness, though, there is just too many uncertainties about his MLB future.
