Walker Buehler
Pitching scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Given current velocity profile, declining strikeout rates, elevated walk rates, and age, Buehler projects as a back-end rotation arm at best with significant risk of further decline or relief conversion. Recent pain-free status and late-season improvements provide some optimism, but fundamental velocity loss limits upside. Realistically settles into fringe #5 starter role if he can maintain health and recapture command improvements from final 2025 stretch. Most likely outcome over next 1-2 seasons involves platoon relief usage or organizational depth role with occasional spot starts.
