Ryan Gallagher
Pitching scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Gallagher's most realistic path is as a depth starter who can move between Triple-A and a major-league bullpen, with the changeup and slider giving him enough quality to survive in a multi-inning role. The ceiling is a back-end starter if he recaptures his earlier strike-throwing, keeps the low-90s fastball above bats, and demonstrates that the 2026 control decline was adjustment-related rather than a lasting post-surgery regression. His floor is an up-and-down long reliever because the fastball is playable, the changeup is distinct, and he has shown the ability to work multiple innings. The combination of modest velocity, home-run exposure, and durability uncertainty keeps the projection below a stable rotation role.
