Elmer Rodríguez
Pitching scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
The broad path here is as a back-end starter with a real chance to fit better in a multi-inning relief role if the command stalls. The fastball velocity jump gives him a stronger foundation than a typical mid-round arm, and the secondaries are deep enough to support a starter look, but none of the pitches currently grades as a clear plus-plus separator. His ceiling is tied to whether the fastball plays more consistently above average and whether he trims the walks enough to work deeper into games. The floor is useful relief depth, but the inning load and pitch variety keep a fifth-starter outcome in play.
