| Summary: Rose is a left-hander who sequences well, with an easy delivery that stays balanced on its way to the plate and extension that should lengthen as he gets more instruction. The fastball sits 89-92 and touches 93, with a bit of rise and a late finish to the arm side that keeps hitters from squaring it up. His command grades as a real strength. He also switch-hits and has outfield tools, a two-way background, though pitching is where his future lies. The changeup offers the most upside, with an above-average flash and a clear gap in speed from the fastball. He throws a slider and a curveball as well. Neither has risen above average on shape so far, but both spin at rates far beyond average, which gives the pitch-design side of his development a lot to work with. The arm works freely, and he’s still early in learning how to pitch. He has a thin build with limited room to add size, so his progress will come from sharpening his feel and the quality of his mix. He’s a competitor who keeps working to improve and stays grounded, and those traits help. He projects as a back-end starter, built on command, the changeup, and breaking balls that spin well. Steady development over a few years should move him toward it. | |||||||||||
