Jose Acuna
Pitching scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Acuña profiles as a back-end major league starter or swingman who can give innings when the strikes are there. The fastball/slider/changeup mix gives him a chance to survive against both sides, but the stuff is more solid than loud and the command has to be good enough to keep the whole package afloat. His 2025-26 run shows a pitcher who can miss bats in stretches, yet the walk totals and occasional homer damage cap the ceiling. The most realistic path is a fifth-starter outcome with some volatility if the control backs up.
