Tekoah Roby
Pitching scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Assuming full recovery from Tommy John surgery and return to competition in 2027, Roby projects to develop into a mid-rotation starter with upside to reach high-rotation quality if sustained development, command improvement, and durability all align. Best-case scenario projects 50 overall future value (average major league starter). More conservative baseline suggests 45 overall given injury history and recovery timeline. Critical variables include whether elbow and arm health can be established following surgery, whether velocity returns to 95+ mph range, and whether command improvements are sustained through rehabilitation. If durability concerns are resolved, the plus curveball and improving changeup provide foundation for effective professional pitcher. However, the Tommy John surgery represents a significant setback that fundamentally alters his developmental timeline and creates substantial risk regarding his future availability and effectiveness.
