Hunter Owen
Pitching scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Owen has a realistic path to a back-end rotation role because the fastball has enough carry, the slider can miss bats, and the frame supports a starter’s workload. The 2025 performance was encouraging, but the uneven 2026 season, recurring health history and inconsistent zone control keep the ceiling in the fifth-starter or multi-inning relief range rather than an impact rotation projection. If he holds the low-90s fastball, keeps the slider sharp and improves first-pitch and glove-side command, he can move through the upper minors and compete for innings. If the delivery backs up or the shoulder history limits volume, a bullpen conversion could preserve the fastball-slider combination and provide his most likely major-league avenue.
