Scouting report
Heasley was a draft-eligible sophomore who simply didn't pitch all that well in college, the sort of player draft models are only on if they incorporate pitch data (Heasley's slider spin rates are plus-plus) or if a scout likes the player despite mediocre performance, which was the case here. Heasley moved from the Oklahoma State bullpen to the rotation as a sophomore, but still walked a batter every other inning and gave up more hits than anyone with his quality of stuff should give up in college. Even though his breaking ball spin rates are so high, I still saw a 40-grade, low-80s curveball this spring and think Heasley's future is as a fastball (92-95) and changeup middle reliever.
