Brady Smith
Pitching scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
The fastball-changeup combination gives Smith a credible mid-rotation ceiling if his improved strike throwing holds and the breaking pitches become dependable third and fourth options. The fastball sits in the mid-90s and reaches 98, while the mid-80s changeup is his best present weapon; that pairing can carry a starter through the upper minors. The floor is reduced by Tommy John history, a recent apparent arm injury, delivery effort, and only one healthy high-volume professional season. A healthy return and continued command gains are the clearest path to a #4 starter role, with relief a realistic fallback if durability or strike throwing does not stabilize.
