Gage Wood
Pitching scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Wood has the raw ingredients of a mid-rotation starter because the four-seam fastball and curveball each have legitimate major-league impact potential, and his strike throwing improved meaningfully during his first full professional season. The likely path is continued development as a starter with controlled innings, sharper fastball command, and greater trust in the splitter or another arm-side offering. His floor is attractive because the fastball/curveball combination could support a power relief role, but shoulder history, a compact frame, and reliance on two primary weapons create real durability and lineup-turnover risk. Conservatively, he projects closer to a No. 4 starter than an impact ace, with a chance to outperform that outcome if the third pitch becomes consistently average.
