Eric Yost
Pitching scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Yost's most realistic path is through a multi-inning or middle-relief role built around two usable breaking balls and enough strike throwing to face several hitters at a time. The fastball is below average in present velocity, and the 2026 command and home-run results make a conventional starting projection difficult even though he has accumulated meaningful innings. If he improves release consistency, sharpens the changeup, and recaptures the more efficient strike-throwing shown in 2025, he could become a useful depth starter or middle reliever; otherwise, the floor is an up-down arm competing for a Double-A or Triple-A bullpen job.
