Caden Favors
Pitching scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Given the arsenal depth, extension, and track record of handling 100+ inning seasons, Favors projects most realistically as a #5 starter or multi-inning swingman who shuttles between Triple-A and the majors. The path to stick in a rotation hinges on stabilizing command to true average, keeping walk spikes in check, and maintaining fastball velocity in the low-90s while locating to the edges. If command stalls below average or the fastball plays more 40-grade, his breaking balls and kitchen-sink mix still offer a plausible route to an up-down long relief role. Ceiling is a back-end starter when everything clicks, with a more probable outcome as depth starter/reliever who offers innings rather than impact.
