Riley Quick
Pitching scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Quick has the raw arsenal to remain a starting pitcher, led by a 96-97 mph sinking fastball and a cutter/slider combination that can give him multiple ways to finish at-bats. The likely development path is built around improving strike one, tightening the release window, and separating the cutter from the deeper mid-80s slider while preserving the upper-80s changeup. His floor is reduced by prior Tommy John surgery, inconsistent control, and fastball results that have not fully matched the velocity. If the command reaches average, he has a realistic chance to settle as a durable No. 4 starter; otherwise the power mix could play in a multi-inning or middle-relief role.
