Ashcraft sits at 94-96 MPH with his fastball. Its shape is seemingly average, with his velocity helping it out ever so slightly. His slider is the pitch to watch here, sitting in the high 80s with above-average movement given its speed. It is his primary whiff offering that gets batters to chase at an elite clip. His curveball doesn’t have the same effectiveness as his slider, but its two-plane shape makes it generate whiffs at an above-average rate. His changeup is not a mainstay in his arsenal, but he increased its usage following his promotion to AAA. It’s lack of movement deviation from his fastball has it grading as a below-average offering. Ashcraft recently added a sinker to his arsenal which looks to complement his slider against RHH. Ashcraft’s knack for throwing strikes has allowed him to run low BB% throughout his career and makes me bullish on his future as a starter. His fastball restricts his projection to a mid-rotation arm at best, but the rest of his toolkit makes him a safe bet to be a staple in the Pirates rotation as soon as 2025.",2025-06-03 14:29:07,

Brecht’s arsenal is highlighted by a plus fastball and elite slider that evoke the stuff of a shutdown closer. His fastball sits in the mid-to-upper 90s with 18” iVB from his over-the-top delivery. His slider is a sight to behold, hovering in the high 80s with decidedly gyro shape. It grades out as a plus-plus offering with the potential to be one of the best pitches in baseball. Brecht also wields a changeup, but it is both raw and rarely thrown. Brecht has the raw talent to be a special arm in the future, and any improvements to his command would skyrocket his status amongst pitching prospects. For now, his most likely outcome is a shutdown reliever with the upside being an electric front-end starter which earns him his encouraging future value grade.",2025-05-12 19:39:56,

He has a large frame ideal for a pitcher, and he wields a deep arsenal packed to the brim with exciting offerings. He tosses two distinct fastballs, a 4-Seam, which sits at 94-96 MPH and gets 15” iVB, and a sinker, which sits in the same velocity band but gets a lot more arm-side action. Despite his tall stature, Hopkins gets a deceptively low release point thanks to his low 3/4 release. This helps his fastballs, especially his 4-Seam, play up, similar to that of former farm mate Bryan Woo. Hopkins breaking balls are plus offerings, with both the curveball and slider sitting in the mid-to-high 80s. His slider acts more like a sweeper, exhibiting large glove-side movement with a bit of drop. His curveball is more like a “deathball” thanks to its velocity and minimal horizonal movement. His high 80s changeup is my favourite offering due to its massive vertical separation from his fastballs and absurd amount of run. The biggest knock-on Hopkins is his inability to consistently land pitches in the zone. He registered a 60% Strike% this season, which by no means is a poor number, but is not indicative of reliable command. With that being said, his stuff sets up a floor for a high-leverage reliever, with the potential of a mid-rotation arm if his command takes that next step.",2025-06-03 14:29:14,

Chandler was raising red flags earlier in 2024 despite the strong results, as he was up to 70% Fastball usage with his changeup essentially nowhere to be seen. Chandler started diversifying his arsenal and was rewarded with a promotion to AAA, where he continued to dominate. From an initial glance, Chandler seems to be cut from the same cloth as fellow Pirate Jared Jones. Both wield a similar 4-Pitch mix highlighted by a 4-Seam Fastball, which sits at 97 MPH and gets above-average vertical movement from a lower release. While Chandler’s slider may not be a whiff-inducing machine, his changeup is helps him stand out. The changeup sits 89-91 MPH with over 10” of vertical separation from his 4-Seam, and thanks to its running action, can get some nasty whiffs when located well. His delivery is on the aggressive side, which may limit him from making strides in the command department, but his athleticism should allow him to make the necessary adjustments to limit walks. Chandler projects to be a top of the rotation arm and should be up in Pittsburgh very soon.",2025-06-03 14:30:28,

His fastball has cut-ride shape and sits in the mid-90s, which is closer to his 2023 levels. We have seen the Cubs be effective with these types of fastballs, which focus more on contact suppression, employing it with pitchers like Steele and Assad. With its rebounding velocity, it grades out much better than last season. His secondary of choice is a mid 80s sweeping slider that gets nearly a foot of glove-side movement. His curveball sits 83-85 MPH with moderate two-plane movement. His last pitch is a changeup, which gets over a foot of horizontal separation from his fastball. It flashes plus, but it remains inconsistent as he leaves too many well below the zone. Horton started throwing more strikes later into his AAA stint but was never able to replicate his increased velocity from 2023. 2025 will be key for Horton as he refines his arsenal and builds up to a starter’s workload. His secondaries give him a solid floor as a mid-rotation arm. With his velocity looking back to usual, he has the potential for a very solid 4-pitch mix.",2025-06-03 14:34:19,

He warranted the late-season cup of coffee after a season in AA where he posted a pristine 2.52 ERA and 3.16 FIP across 135.2 IP on the heels of a polished 5-pitch mix and smooth mechanics. He stands at 6'4"", which bodes well for his long-term projection as a high-volume starter. His fastball exhibits average characteristics ranging from his velocity all the way to its extension. This pitch may be his weakest, but the lack of velocity may be a function of the massive jump in innings for him this season. His slider is a plus offering, sitting in the mid-80s with tight vertical movement and varying depth. He commands it well, which makes it effective against either handedness. He doesn’t have the greatest feel for his changeup, resulting in inconsistencies in location and movement, but it grades out above average on a stuff basis. He also employs a slow-moving and big-dropping curveball and a cutter to bridge everything together. Dana has an ideal frame for a starter, and he has a refined repertoire for such a young pitcher. He is MLB-ready and projects as a high-volume mid-rotation starter with an arsenal to fall into a back-end option.",2025-06-03 14:35:30,
