Accuracy safeguard — IQDugout does not invent Leadership and clubhouse impact, Confidence and mental toughness, Unpublished private scouting measurements, Private clubhouse and leadership evaluations when verified evidence is unavailable. Those areas remain clearly labeled rather than receiving false precision.
DEVELOPMENT CONTEXT
MiLB Intelligence
READINESS
Minor-League Assignment
The official assignment is Major League Baseball. IQDugout displays the assignment as development context, not as an MLB-readiness grade.
CALL-UP OUTLOOK
Not Determined
Level alone cannot support an individual call-up judgment. Performance, health, roster status, role fit, and organization need would also have to be evaluated.
PROJECTION
Starting Pitcher
This is the player's currently listed role or position context, not a prediction of a future MLB role.
DEVELOPMENT RISK
Not Graded
Development risk is not graded from league level or draft year alone.
Ceiling is withheld until supported player-specific scouting or performance evidence is available.
Floor is withheld because a league assignment does not establish a player's likely outcome.
Organization rank: Unavailable from current official MLB data
No exact or broad ETA is shown without supported individual performance, development, health, and roster evidence.
DEVELOPMENT TREND
Development Assignment
The current official assignment is Major League Baseball. Assignment level is factual context and is not treated as proof of promotion readiness.
IMPROVEMENT AREAS
- Evaluate sustained performance with level and age context
- Review role fit, health, roster status, and organization need
SCOUT REPORT
No official prospect blurb is available from the current data source. Public data confirm a Major League Baseball assignment and a listed starting pitcher context only. IQDugout is not inferring MLB readiness, ceiling, floor, risk, or ETA from the player's level.

NEEDS IMPROVEMENT
Areas to monitor
-
Run Prevention Limited sample
Why: Limited sample (25.0 IP across 6 appearances, including 6 starts): 3.60 ERA would place #22 against 48 qualified MLB pitchers (55th percentile). This is not an official rank. It is the lowest supported league-relative category in this report, not a below-average classification.

This report summarizes available 2026 MLB statistics and official position information and available season usage. Non-qualified comparisons are directional, not official leaderboard ranks. Percentiles are calculated by IQDugout from official MLB comparison pools. Confidence reflects sample size, qualification, and supported comparison coverage. Versatility labels summarize verified position usage and are not league benchmarks. This is a current-data evaluation, not a projection.
