Scouting report

Oakland has drafted a few late-round, small-school college arms who have shown up to pro ball and looked really good. Varland is one, and he was a 2018 AZL revelation who the A's pushed to Hi-A in 2019. He succeeded, but blew out and had Tommy John in August and missed all of 2020. Thick and physical throughout the torso and thighs, Varland has a lightning-quick arm that generates mid-90s velocity at peak. His fastball has bat-missing life, and both his breaking balls have sufficient bite to avoid barrels as well, especially when they're well-located. He's a relief prospect of advanced age. (TJ Rehab)
