Justin Lamkin
Pitching scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Lamkin looks like a durable back-end starter with a reasonable chance to settle into a rotation role if the secondaries keep tightening. The combination of deception, strikes, and a workable four-pitch mix gives him a higher floor than the raw velocity suggests, but the ceiling is capped by modest heater life and a changeup that still trails the slider. If the changeup becomes a more trustworthy weapon versus right-handers, he can push toward a stable No. 4/5 outcome; if not, he still has a path to a multi-inning MLB role. The current profile is more safe than loud, with performance and feel carrying more weight than overpowering stuff.
