Scouting reports

  • Jamie Arnold Stat Grounded The translation is the honest problem here. Across AAA & AA this season, Arnold has a 3.5 ERA and 130 strikeouts in 118.3 innings, and those numbers look like a rotation piece; the MLB-equivalent read is considerably quieter. H...
  • Leo De Vries Stat Grounded The .290/.378/.458 line at AA is legitimate production for a 19-year-old, but the translation is where you feel the ceiling close in. His AA ISO of .168 becomes .135 at the MLB equivalent, and with the MLB average sitting at .1...
  • Wei-En Lin Stat Grounded The WHIP is 1.0 across AAA & AA, and that's the most honest thing in this profile. Wei-En Lin is limiting baserunners at an elite clip for a 20-year-old, and his 17 walks in 53 innings translate to a 3.2 BB/9 at the MLB level,...
  • Kade Morris Stat Grounded The walk rate is the one thing holding this profile together, and it barely holds. Kade Morris has posted a 3.2 BB/9 at AAA across 91 innings in 2026, but his 6.5 K/9 translates to just 6.8 at the MLB level, well short of what...
  • Devin Taylor Stat Grounded The sample covers 624 PA in Triple-A, Double-A, and High-A, so confidence is high. There is enough power to keep pitchers honest. Better pitching can still beat him with empty swings. Everyday power ceiling, with a volatile ben...

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...
