Blake Wehunt
Pitching scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Given a 9th-round pedigree, solid but not dominant minor league performance, and age-relative-to-level, he profiles most realistically as a back-end starter or multi-inning depth arm if the command and secondary consistency continue to tick up. Strikeout rates in the upper minors suggest the stuff is good enough to miss bats, but the overall run prevention and home run numbers indicate a mid-rotation ceiling is unlikely without a clear jump in either fastball life or a true plus offspeed. If he can sustain average control, sharpen his ability to pitch to both edges, and keep the ball in the park, he has a plausible path to #5 starter outcomes on a second-division club. More likely, he becomes a serviceable up-and-down starter type or swingman who can spot start and handle bulk innings, providing value through durability and a workable three-pitch mix. Continued physical maintenance and refinement of his mix over the next two seasons will determine whether he reaches that ceiling or settles into organizational depth.
