Jackson Steensma

Pitching scouting report · 80Grade

Scouting summary

Given his draft position, physical maturity, and injury history, the most realistic path is toward a bulk or long-relief role that can soak up innings with an average fastball and two playable breaking balls. The ceiling is a lower-end No. 5 starter if the changeup develops, command trends up to solid-average, and he proves he can stay healthy across full seasons. The downside is an injury-limited arm who stalls in the upper minors as organizational depth if elbow/forearm issues recur or the stuff backs up. To reach his better outcomes, he will need to maintain fastball quality, sharpen pitch-to-pitch execution after his recent forearm strain, and show that his body can carry a starter’s workload despite prior surgeries.

Projected MLB role: up-down long reliever
