Blake Aita
Pitching scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Aita looks like a plausible back-end starter who could settle into a #5 role if the command keeps edging forward and at least one secondary pitch becomes a reliable put-away option. His recent run of innings and strikeouts supports a profile with enough stuff to miss bats at the upper levels, but the walk rate and home-run allowance keep the floor close to swingman territory. If the fastball holds its present shape and the breaker continues to miss enough bats, he can survive as a depth starter; if not, the likely fallback is a multi-inning relief role. The ceiling is limited by the lack of a clearly plus offering, but the combination of size, strikes, and durability gives him a real path to the majors.
