Dean Livingston
Pitching scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Livingston projects as a mid-rotation starter type if the fastball velocity and shape hold and at least one breaking ball matures into a clear plus offering, with the changeup reaching playable average. The combination of size, athleticism, and current velocity gives him a relatively high floor as at least a strike-throwing back-end starter or multi-inning reliever. Development will hinge on tightening command, sharpening the slider or curve into a consistent bat-misser, and maintaining health as his workload climbs. Given his age, training history, and 4th-round investment, a realistic outcome is a durable #4 starter, with upside into a #3 if the command and secondary pitch quality take meaningful steps forward. There is also some relief risk if the strike-throwing backslides or the changeup stalls, but present indicators lean toward a rotation future.
