Colton Shaw
Pitching scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Given a seventh-round pedigree, current A-ball success, and a strike-throwing track record, he most realistically projects as a back-end starter or multi-inning option if the stuff holds together. The path to a #5 starter outcome runs through maintaining fastball quality, sharpening at least one breaking ball into a reliable out pitch, and keeping walks in check as he climbs the ladder. His college workload and early pro innings suggest adequate durability, but he still needs to prove he can carry his stuff through a full professional season at multiple levels. If the breaking ball or changeup stalls and upper-level hitters sit on the fastball, he could slide into a long-relief role; if he continues to refine the mix, he fits as a serviceable back-end starter.
