Marcus Phillips

Pitching scouting report · 80Grade

Scouting summary

Given his size, arm strength, and flashes of two above-average pitches, he projects as a potential mid-rotation starter if command and pitch efficiency take the necessary step forward. More realistically in the medium term he tracks toward a back-end starter or multi-inning power reliever who leans on the fastball-slider combo. If the changeup matures into a consistent third offering and he tightens his delivery to approach average command, he could settle into a stable rotation role. If command stalls below that, the stuff could still play in a leveraged bullpen role where shorter stints allow maximum velocity and heavier slider usage.

Projected MLB role: #4 starter
