| Summary: A strong-bodied right-hander with power stuff and polish, Cunningham attacks hitters with a fastball that sits 93–95 mph and can reach 99 when he needs extra gear. The pitch shows strong carry and extension, setting up a fading upper-80s changeup that’s already a legitimate weapon against left-handed hitters. His mid-80s slider flashes sharp sweep but still comes and goes, leaving refinement of that pitch as the key to unlocking his full potential. He’s shown improved strength and command over longer outings, holding his velocity deep into games and working efficiently through the zone. The profile points to mid-rotation upside, built around strike-throwing consistency and a fastball/changeup combo that fits cleanly in the Yankees’ development model. If the slider tightens into a reliable third weapon, Cunningham could move quickly through the system. Even without it, his sturdy frame, durable delivery, and competitive approach give him a high floor as a reliable innings-eater power arm at the major-league level. | |||||||||||
