Nestor German
Pitching scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Given his age-24 performance in Triple-A and prior success across three levels, German projects as a potential back-end starter with a chance to be a solid #4 if the command and changeup continue to tick up. The path is built on a durable frame, an average-to-above mix of pitches, and a track record of missing bats while limiting free passes. His floor is a middle-innings or long reliever who can handle multi-inning work and spot starts if the fastball loses a tick or the third pitch stalls. To reach the rotation ceiling, he needs to maintain strike-throwing against major league hitters and sharpen feel versus lefties, but the ingredients and developmental trajectory are in place. Continued health and incremental refining of pitch shapes rather than wholesale changes should maximize his chance to stick in a rotation.
