The Tampa Bay Rays traded Logan Forsythe to the Los Angeles Dodgers for top pitching prospect Jose De Leon last night. According to his milb prospect card, the scouting grades on his pitches are 65 fastball, 60 changeup, 50 slider, and 55 control. He’s also thrown a curveball in the majors enough for it to be considered part of his arsenal.
De Leon started four games in September 2016 to give us enough data at the major league level to get an idea of how most of his pitches look. Let’s take a look and see if we can find what makes that fastball and changeup so good.
