Pierce George
Pitching scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
The carrying trait is a legitimate high-90s fastball that has reportedly reached 101-103 mph, giving George a path to a major-league bullpen if he can convert raw velocity into dependable strikes. The power curve gives him a second weapon, while the newer low-90s cutter provides a useful bridge pitch against hitters who can sit on the heater. His floor is limited by a long history of control trouble and the early Double-A homer rate, so the likely path is continued one-inning relief work, with a chance to become a middle or setup option if the release and fastball direction stabilize.
