Andry Lara
Pitching scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Given the significant 2025 performance regression and persistent secondary pitch concerns, Lara's long-term projection has shifted downward considerably. Once viewed as a potential mid-rotation starter, he now projects more likely as relief/bullpen option or organizational depth. His fastball velocity could still play in shorter intervals, but the lack of a reliable second pitch makes extended starting role increasingly unlikely. Best-case scenario involves mechanical adjustment and renewed confidence that restores closer to 2024 form. Realistic outcome suggests eventual bullpen transition where velocity-based approach can succeed despite limited secondary offerings. Worst-case scenario involves continued decline and potential organizational release given prospect status on 40-man roster and 2025 performance.
