The evaluation on Cal Randall
A full numerical Player IQ is withheld until an official performance sample exists. The profile below still evaluates verified role, position, level, handedness, organization context, and development stage.
WHAT THE MODEL USES
- Official position and role
- Current organization and level
- Bats and throws
- Verified physical profile
- Draft or prospect context when available
Official listed role and positional responsibility.
Current official team or organization context.
Public game data does not directly measure raw speed, explosiveness, or agility.
A private scouting-grade arm score is not inferred from position alone.
A numerical grade requires meaningful game or pitch-level evidence.
Leadership, confidence, and clubhouse value are not invented.
Accuracy safeguard — IQDugout does not invent Arm strength, Raw speed and athletic testing, Leadership and clubhouse impact, Confidence and mental toughness when verified evidence is unavailable. Those areas remain clearly labeled rather than receiving false precision.
DEVELOPMENT CONTEXT
MiLB Intelligence
READINESS
Rookie-Level Assignment
The official assignment is Rookie. 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
Early Pro Development
The current official assignment is Rookie. 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
Randall was a standout at Northern California high school power De La Salle (a program known for producing lefty Kyle Harrison), but he pulled his name out of the 2023 Draft because he was intent on attending UCLA. After pitching infrequently as a freshman, Randall has been a mainstay in the Bruins' bullpen. Though he's never closed, he's shown his power stuff can dominate top college hitters, leading him to an eye-popping 16.5 K/9 rate and .142 batting average against in his junior year. A 6-foot-4 right-hander, Randall is all about his fastball. To say he's heater-heavy would be a huge understatement as he threw the pitch -- averaging close to 97 mph and touching triple digits -- 89 percent of the time this spring. It is an extremely effective pitch, but not just because of the velocity. It elicited a 36 percent miss rate this season thanks to a combination of low release and extension to create upshoot arm side life. He basically throws one secondary pitch, an 89-92 mph slider-cutter hybrid that can be effective because it's hard, but it's also short and some think he'll need to come up with something that features more depth at the next level. The other challenge Randall faces is his ability to throw strikes, as he walked 5.4 per nine over his college career at UCLA. He won't need pinpoint command to be a big league reliever, but a team taking him will hope he can find a little better feel for the zone and add shape to his secondary offering in order to grow into a high-leverage role.

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.
