MLB ranks the player the Mets got from the Brewers as Milwaukee's #30 prospect.  Looks to me like a mid-relief arm.  From the scouting report:

"Throwing from a high arm slot, Jarvis has picked up a little velocity in the spring and sits around 93-95 mph with his four-seamer, but what makes the pitch play up is its invisiball nature with incredible ride up in the zone. (It’s worth noting that the Southern League’s pre-tacked ball could be affecting Jarvis’ heater traits.) He’s added a low-80s splitter in the last two years that fades nicely, giving him a south option off the northern fastball. His low-80s slider flashes above-average with good vertical and horizontal break, while a mid-70s, looping curveball offers another offspeed look.

Listed at 6-foot-2, 183 pounds, Jarvis needs to work the edges of the zone, because if his command falters, hitters have a history of punishing him when he catches too much of the plate. (His 19 homers allowed were tied for most in the Midwest League in 2022.) There’s a deep enough arsenal and starter-quality control to feature in the back end of a Major League rotation, if he can hold these pitch characteristics with a more standard ball at the higher levels."

Hey, it was Mark Canha. What did you expect?  Lots of Mark Canhas out there during free agency.
