Scouting report
Corry was a pretty raw fastball/curveball high school prospect, and to some extent that overview still describes him even though he paved over Low-A hitters in 2019, striking out 172 in 122 innings. Corry walked a batter every other inning that year, and yet it was his most consistent stretch of strike-throwing as a pro. His heater wandered again throughout 2020 instructs, but Corry exhibited an uptick in velocity there (92-95 in my look, which is up from 90-94 in 2019). Though it's not as consistent as his shapely curveball, Corry's changeup has improved in pro ball, giving him three viable weapons. It's starter's stuff with reliever's control, which is why Corry projects as a multi-inning reliever at present. Ordinarily I'd worry about Corry's curveball playing down a bit because it's paired with a sinker, but it has really great depth and, at times, some arm-side action that gives it extra utility against righty hitters. Folks who have seen young Tigers lefty Tarik Skubal can use that as a fair delivery comp for Corry, who also has a swooping, high-3/4s arm swing that creates tough angle on his stuff, though Corry's isn't as loose and fluid as Skubal's. He's a fairly stiff, short strider, just not the type of on-mound athlete who typically ends up starting. But again, Corry has a heavy mid-90s fastball with tough angle, a plus curveball, and enough sink on his change to induce weak contact, at least. I think this sort of pitcher is best deployed as a four-out fireman. (Fall Instructional League)
