Yoel Tejeda Jr.
Pitching scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Tejeda has a plausible major-league path because the fastball-slider combination is supported by a large frame, usable velocity, and a professional strikeout record. The principal development question is whether his command can settle near average while preserving the shape and effectiveness of the breaking ball and splitter. His starter background and workload give him a reasonable durability foundation, but the uneven 2026 control and limited evidence against upper-level hitters point toward a bullpen-leaning outcome. The conservative projection is an up-down long reliever, with a chance to remain a fifth-starter type if his release consistency and strike throwing improve.
