View Draft Report
Jaskie has inspired others as he's been inspired by his developmentally-delayed older sister Hanna. Since arriving at Michigan, Oliver has gained plenty of good weight and nearly 10 mph on his fastball, turning him into a legitimate pro prospect. His delivery has some effort, but also some funk and deception. He has racked up plenty of strikeouts for Big Blue (11.65 K/9 IP, 16th in Division I) by working inside to righthanded hitters with his 87-90 mph fastball, setting up his average changeup that has some late fade. His fringe-average slider has a little potential as well, making him a potential lefthanded reliever with enough funk and deception to survive.

Jaskie gained plenty of good weight and added 10 mph to his fastball between the time he arrived on campus at Michigan to the time he left. He finished 2017 in Ann Arbor as one of the Big Ten Conference's top starters with an 8-3, 3.77 mark and 11.5 strikeouts-per-nine innings. Jaskie's fastball sat 87-90 mph during his pro debut at short-season Everett, down a couple of ticks due to a heavy workload at Michigan. He generally works inside to righthanded hitters with his fastball, setting up his changeup, which is his best secondary. Jaskie's changeup is an average pitch at 78-82 mph with late fade that he uses to get swings-and-misses. He also mixes in a fringy but usable slider at 79-83 mph. Jaskie has some funk that helps his stuff play up. His three-quarters delivery plays like a higher slot because of spinal tilt, and the effort in the delivery provides some deception. He is athletic for his size and has the mentality to remain in the rotation, but perhaps not the delivery to do so. Jaskie will try to keep starting at low Class A Clinton in 2018.
