Dylan Brown
Pitching scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Given his size, low-90s fastball and workable slider/changeup mix, Brown most realistically projects as a multi-inning left-handed reliever who can spot start if needed. The ceiling is a back-end starter if the fastball ticks up a bit and the changeup becomes a more consistent weapon against righties, but that requires meaningful gains in command and pitch quality. More conservative outcomes land in an up-down long relief role, where his durability and strike-throwing can soak innings in the middle frames. To reach that outcome, he must maintain conditioning, tighten fastball location to the top and arm-side lanes, and sharpen the slider’s put-away shape. The path is gradual, with incremental improvements rather than a single carrying pitch likely to drive value.
