Thomas Harrington
Pitching scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
The most realistic path is a back-of-the-rotation role built around average fastball life, a usable splitter and an above-average slider, with the curve and cutter helping him steal strikes and disrupt timing. His ceiling is limited by low-90s velocity, ordinary fastball miss rates and recent trouble with walks, hard contact and home runs, so he needs above-average location to remain a starter. If the release and fastball command stabilize, he can profile as a durable #5 starter; if not, the breadth of the repertoire should still give him a chance as a long reliever or multi-inning option. The current statistical decline makes the starter outcome less certain than it appeared earlier in his development.
