| Summary: The foundation is built around a fastball that plays well above its radar-gun reading thanks to a low release, elite extension, and natural armside run. Scarborough has shown the ability to miss bats at a strong clip, pairing the heater with a low-80s sweeper that features big horizontal break and legitimate bat-miss traits. The delivery has become more repeatable over the past year, and he’s throwing strikes at a mature rate for his age, allowing the two primary pitches to dominate lower-level hitters. The next step in the profile hinges on rounding out the arsenal. A developing changeup/splitter has flashed separation and tumble but remains inconsistent, particularly as a weapon against left-handed hitters. The body and athleticism suggest durability and further velocity gains as he continues to mature, and the strike-throwing baseline gives him a clear starter foundation. If the third pitch comes along enough to keep lineups honest, there’s mid-rotation upside; without it, the fastball–sweeper combo still fits comfortably in a high-impact relief role. | |||||||||||
