Will Sanders
Pitching scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Given his size, four-pitch mix, and above-average splitter, Sanders projects most realistically as a back-end starter candidate who could also fit in a multi-inning relief role. If he can tighten his fastball command to fringe-average and sustain the improved control he has flashed at times, he has a path to a #5 starter role who provides bulk innings. If the fastball shape or command stagnate, the fallback is a long reliever leveraging the splitter as a primary weapon in shorter stints. Overall risk is moderate, with the likelihood skewing toward some form of major league contribution but not impact starter outcomes.
