Austin Voth, RHP, Washington (Profile)
This represents the right-handed Voth’s debut among the Five — not because he has only recently produced notable performances, but because one of the arbitrary criteria for eligibility in this weekly column is that a prospect plays at High-A or above. Indeed, until the latter third of June, the 22-year-old was a member of the Class-A Sally League. Through four starts now as a member of Washington’s Carolina League affiliate Potomac, however, Voth has recorded strikeout and walk rates of 30.8% and 4.4%, respectively, over four starts and 26.0 innings. Selected by the Nats in the fifth round of last year’s draft out of the University of Washington, Voth’s fastball sits at 91-92 mph, according to a recent report by MiLB.com’s Jake Seiner.
