Connor Noland
Pitching scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Noland has a realistic path to a major-league look as a multi-inning reliever or emergency starter, but the fastball places a hard ceiling on his margin for error. The slider and curveball give him enough shape diversity to navigate lineups in short or controlled outings, while the six-pitch mix and prior starter workload support a long-relief role. To hold a roster spot, he will need to recover the strike efficiency and contact management he showed in 2024, because the 2026 jump in ERA, WHIP, hits, walks, and home runs suggests that upper-level hitters are increasingly punishing mistakes. The floor is Triple-A depth, with an up-down outcome more likely than a stable rotation role.
