Ryan Sloan
Pitching scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Sloan’s combination of a mid-90s fastball with shape flexibility, a fading changeup, and a two-plane slider gives him a credible path to a mid-rotation starting role. His repeatable delivery, strike-throwing, and strong 2026 Double-A results support continued development as a starter, while the step from Double-A to upper-minors hitters will test whether his secondaries remain effective in deeper counts and later trips through the order. The fastball and changeup provide the strongest foundation; consistent slider execution and a sustained workload will determine whether he reaches the #3-starter ceiling or settles into a more back-end role.
