Jacob Morrison
Pitching scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
The likely path is continued development as a starting pitcher, with the fastball's carry, steep angle, and extension giving him a chance to reach a back-end rotation role. The mid-80s slider is the best current secondary and could support a higher outcome if he consistently lands it or buries it in two-strike counts; the curveball offers useful shape but presently lags in zone reliability. The ceiling is capped by only average present command and the absence of verified changeup information, while the large frame and upright timing create some delivery risk. If the breaking balls become more consistently usable, a durable #5 starter outcome is realistic; otherwise the fastball-slider combination could move him toward multi-inning relief.
