73
58th percentile context
Built from official MLB percentile context for run prevention, strikeout quality, and workload.
Pitching Experience and Proven Impact
68
Career history includes 94.3 innings, 72 strikeouts and verified postseason context. No supported official award history was available. No verified MLB postseason pitching sample was available.
Consistency
68
Built from official game logs by comparing each appearance with the player's own per-game baseline.

68
Last-X-games ERA/WHIP (4.26 / 1.03) is compared with the season line (4.26 / 1.03).

Durability
68
Built from official pitcher workload: 12.2 innings across 10 appearances.
Pitch IQ, Command and Pitchability
82
95th percentile context
Uses official walk suppression, WHIP, strike percentage, and strikeout-to-walk balance.
Defense, Range and Arm Context

Pitcher defensive separation is limited in the current official stat feed, so this category stays near neutral.
Situational and Winning Impact
68
Official pitching split volume with runners in scoring position was too small for a stronger situational conclusion.

Scout Report
ARCHETYPE
Relief Pitcher
Official current-season rank context is available, but no verified role-specific bullpen comparison pool supports a league-relative Scout Report conclusion.
DATA CONFIDENCE
Limited confidence
Limited current-season sample (12.2 IP across 10 appearances); available data does not support a qualified MLB comparison.
STRENGTHS
Verified indicators
League-relative strengths are withheld without a verified role-specific bullpen comparison.

-
Role-Specific Comparison Unavailable Limited sample

VERSATILITY
No verified season position usage
- Primary role or position
- Relief Pitcher
- Position / role entries
- 0
- Verified secondary positions
- None in available season position data
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.
