Nick Dean
Pitching scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Given his draft position, physical frame, and current performance at Double-A, Dean most realistically projects as a depth arm who could contribute as a long reliever or spot starter. The path to that role runs through continued refinement of fastball command and sharpening one breaking ball enough to miss bats at the upper levels. If the velocity holds in the low-to-mid 90s with consistent strikes, he has a chance to reach the majors as a fringe arm who shuttles between Triple-A and the big-league pen. Should the stuff back up or command stall, he fits as an organizational innings-eater without a sustained MLB role.
