Jonathan Santucci
Pitching scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
With a mid-90s fastball that can touch the upper band and a swing-and-miss slider, Santucci has the raw ingredients of a mid-rotation starter if the command and tertiary pitches continue to tighten. The most realistic path is incremental improvement in strike throwing, paired with more consistent usage of the changeup and curveball to keep right-handers honest. His age-relative-to-level and strong strikeout production support a ceiling of a solid #3 starter, with a floor around a multi-inning reliever who leans heavily on the fastball/slider mix. Continued health and 150+ inning seasons at upper levels over the next couple of years will be important to fully actualize the starter projection.
