Bishop Letson
Pitching scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Given the combination of two above-average fastballs, a slider that flashes plus, and a usable changeup, the realistic ceiling is a mid-rotation arm, but current risk factors pull the most likely outcome closer to a back-end starter. Shoulder history, erratic command at Double-A, and modest draft pedigree suggest a wider band of outcomes, including a potential move to the bullpen if strikes or durability back up. To reach the #4 starter projection, he will need to refine fastball command to both sides, build trust in the changeup versus lefties, and hold his stuff across 140+ innings. If those gains stall, the profile could still fit as a multi-inning reliever who leans on fastball/slider/cutter and attacks in shorter bursts.
