John West
Pitching scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
West profiles as a back-of-the-rotation starter or potential long reliever at the major league level, contingent on significant development. His current trajectory suggests he may be better suited for a bullpen role given his pronounced platoon splits and the difficulty of succeeding as a starter while being vulnerable to left-handed hitters. The combination of an improving fastball, intriguing changeup, and ground-ball-inducing sinker could make him a functional reliever against right-handed batters specifically. However, his control issues and early-season injury raise developmental concerns.
