Zac Thornton
Pitching scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Thornton projects as a back-end starter or swingman type whose path to an MLB role is built on strike throwing, a workable three-pitch mix, and enough deception to keep hitters from sitting on one look. The ceiling is limited by the lack of true overpowering velocity, but the floor is helped by his ability to miss bats and avoid free passes better than a typical fringe arm. If the command holds and the fastball plays up from angle and location, he can settle in as a usable fifth-starter candidate; if the stuff backs up, he still has a path to long relief or up-down rotation depth.
