Caden Scarborough
Pitching scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Scarborough’s combination of fastball life, a plus sweeper, and improving strike throwing gives him a realistic ceiling of a mid-rotation starter, with some chance to sneak above that if the splitter/change matures. The floor is closer to a high-leverage reliever who leans on two outlier pitches if the third offering or command stalls against upper-level hitters. Path to the rotation role will require maintaining health after his melanoma scare, continuing to hold velocity across longer outings, and proving he can turn lineups over with a more complete mix. Given his age, physical tools, and current performance track, he projects to reach the majors as a starter, but there is still development risk in how the arsenal and command play against advanced competition.
