A.J. Minter
Pitching scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Assuming successful return from lat surgery recovery by spring training 2026, Minter projects to function as high-leverage setup reliever in platoon applications or specific matchup scenarios. Elite cutter and strikeout production maintain value against left-handed lineups. However, velocity decline combined with recurring injuries suggests he is likely operating on downside of career arc. Realistic expectation involves 40-60 innings if maintaining health throughout season with 3.25-3.75 ERA range. More probable role centers on matchup specialist or left-handed platoon option rather than primary closer candidate. If velocity rebounds toward 96 mph range during spring training, upside increases materially and could support more frequent usage.
