Tanner Bauman
Pitching scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Bauman projects as back-of-the-rotation starting pitcher or relief pitcher at major league level, contingent upon successful command development and consistency improvement. Fastball-slider combination provides legitimate professional floor, but walk rate represents primary limitation preventing higher ceiling outcomes. Best-case scenario involves disciplined fourth or fifth starter reaching majors in 3-4 years with improved command. Realistic scenario involves bullpen relief utilization leveraging fastball velocity and high-spin slider, potentially reaching majors in 2-3 years. Most likely development pathway involves continued A-level assignment during 2026 with focus on mechanical refinement and command consistency improvement, with promotion to higher levels dependent on walk-rate reduction toward 4.0-5.0 per nine innings and ERA improvement toward 3.50 range.
