Both are pitching at Class A+ Fredrick. Both are tall lefties with good stuff.
Here are their stat lines for this season:
Matusz: 2.68 ERA, 53.2 IP, 65/19 SO to BB ratio, 1.54 GO/AO, 5 HR, .230 BAA
Britton: 2.54 ERA, 47.2 IP, 47/26 SO to BB ratio, 2.29 GO/AO, 3 HR, .222 BAA
Britton stats are big skewed because of his work hourse nature. Here is an example of that:
Date OPP ERA SV IP H ER BB SO
May 16 @KIN 1 0 0.00 0 6.0 4 0 2 6
May 17 @KIN 1 0 5.40 0 5.0 5 3 3 4
He had his worst outing of the season due to the fact he pitched a 5 inning releif spot after pitching 6 innings one day earlier.
With all of that said, I think that they are VERY similar. Britton does have more experience at the professional level, but he is also 6+ months younger than Matusz. Brian does tend to get more strikeouts (up to this point), but Britton tends to get more GO and less H.
Previous to this season, Matusz was ranked as the 25th best prospect in baseball by Baseball America. Where do you think Britton would rank if next season if he continues on his torrid pace :?:
(Disclaimer: I have a red and blue refractor of Britton, but am not planning on selling them. This post was not intended to "pimp" Britton, just to bring up an interesting prospect comparison.)
