| Summary: Wright brings a deep, spin-heavy arsenal that fits the Dodgers’ development mold. His fastball mix includes both a riding four-seamer and a running sinker in the low-to-mid 90s, setting up a devastating low-80s sweeper that misses bats at an elite rate—nearly 60% whiffs when right. He’ll also flash a cutter and a fading changeup, both capable of keeping hitters honest even if they lag behind his primary weapons. The arm action is long but deceptive, helping the stuff play up and creating tough angles against both sides of the plate. Injuries limited him to just nine outings in 2025, but Wright showed starter-level pitch diversity and competitiveness when on the mound. The command can wander, a product of the longer arm stroke, though his athleticism gives reason to project continued improvement. With health and refinement, he has the repertoire and poise to develop into a mid-rotation lefty; if not, the fastball/slider combination would play immediately in a leverage relief role. | |||||||||||
