Colton Shaw
Pitching scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Given the sidearm slot, movement-driven arsenal, and solid but not overpowering velocity, he most realistically projects as a multi-inning bullpen arm who can spot-start rather than a long-term rotation piece. If the sinker and sweeper both settle in the average band and the changeup remains his best secondary, he has a path to a middle-innings or long-relief role shuttling between Triple-A and the majors. Command gives him some margin for error, but absence of a true plus velocity or breaker caps the ceiling. Continued refinement of strike-throwing against lefties and maintenance of health could nudge him toward a steady low-leverage MLB role; regression in command likely leaves him as organizational depth.
