Briggs McKenzie
Pitching scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Long term, he has the ingredients of a mid-rotation starter, headlined by a potentially plus curveball, average fastball velocity with chance to tick up, and a playable changeup. The realistic path is incremental strength gains leading to more consistent low-90s velocity, improved fastball command, and better changeup usage to righties. The floor, given his spin and handedness, is a multi-inning or matchup-focused left-handed reliever if command stalls or the changeup never truly arrives. Early pro success in small samples is encouraging but not definitive; development of command and durability across full seasons will determine whether he settles closer to a No. 3 or a back-end role.
