Scouting reports

  • Druw Jones Stat Grounded Without a clear source of contact, walks or damage, better pitching has multiple ways to attack him. The current line does not identify a dependable offensive strength. The current outcome is below a regular role, with a bench...
  • Cristofer Torin Stat Grounded Everyday contact regular, with a useful reserve floor; he does not give away many plate appearances. The open question is damage against better pitching; the sample covers 551 PA in Double-A, so confidence is moderate.
  • Blake Walston Stat Grounded Six-plus innings of rehab data is a whisper, not a conversation. What it shows is roughly league-average shape across the board — the K/9, BB/9, and K-BB% all translate within a fraction of the MLB mean, which means Walston's r...
  • Manuel Pena Stat Grounded The bat is loud and the profile is narrow. Across AAA & AA in 2026, Manuel Peña is hitting .305/.345/.555 with 31 home runs in 506 plate appearances, and his .251 ISO ranks at the 93rd percentile in the hitter pool. The transla...
  • Tommy Troy Stat Grounded The .413 BABIP is doing a lot of work here, and that's the whole conversation. Troy is hitting .313/.411/.468 across 237 AAA plate appearances in 2026, with 32 walks and 55 strikeouts, and the contact profile ranks 97th percent...

Stat Grounded

SS / AA / WSN

The walk rate is the loudest thing in the profile. Eli Willits has drawn 95 walks across AA & A+ & A this season at 18 years old, an 18% clip that translates to 12.7% at the MLB level, and the .406 OBP it produces in the minors...

Stat Grounded

P / AA / SEA

A 1.1 ERA and a 0.6 WHIP at Double-A aren't numbers that need context — they're the argument. Anderson has struck out 135 batters against 13 walks across 93.3 innings at AA this season, and the command profile translates cleanl...

Stat Grounded

CF / AAA / MIN

The contact rate is the headline: 15% strikeouts across AAA & A+ & A translates to 18.7% at the MLB level, well below where most big-league hitters land, and that's with a .237 ISO in tow. At 21, Walker Jenkins is posting a .41...

Stat Grounded

P / AA / LAA

The K-BB% across AA & A+ sits at 24%, and the translation puts that at 14.9% in an MLB context, a tick above league average, which is roughly what you'd expect from a back-end starter who misses bats without embarrassing himsel...

Stat Grounded

P / AAA / CHW

The strikeout rate is the whole argument: 13.4 K/9 at AAA, translating to 10.3 against MLB hitters, well clear of the 8.6 MLB-average mark. The problem sits right next to it — 40 walks in 58.3 innings, a 6.2 BB/9 that translate...

Stat Grounded

P / AA / STL

The strikeout stuff is loud, 130 punchouts across 103 innings at AA, an 11.4 K/9 that translates to 9.1 at the MLB level, but the walk rate is the whole argument. At 4.7 BB/9, the 54 free passes he's issued translate to 4.6 at...
