| Summary: Scarborough works from a crossfire delivery that adds real deception — a notable turn of the front side away from the hitter before he snaps back through the zone with real force, keeping the ball out of the hitter’s sight well into the delivery. The fastball currently sits in the low-to-mid 90s and has touched as high as 96, delivered with an arm that works quickly through the zone; there’s a lean, still-developing frame here with room to add strength, though the present stuff already stands on its own without needing to lean too heavily on projection. The slider is the clear standout secondary, sweeping across the plate late enough to give right-handed hitters real trouble and generating legitimate swing-and-miss in the looks he’s gotten so far. The changeup trails behind it as a clear third pitch, without the same present feel or consistency. Fastball control has been a minor, present limiter at times, something worth keeping an eye on as he continues to refine the delivery, though it hasn’t been a defining issue across the track record so far. Between a deceptive delivery, a fastball that already plays in the mid-90s, and a legitimately advanced breaking ball for his age, Scarborough profiles as a real riser with a foundation worth building on as the rest of the game continues to develop. | |||||||||||
