Scouting report

Vest had a huge 2019 season in the minors and was a pitch data marvel whose fastball featured big vertical movement, but his stuff looked down when he arrived for the 2019 Fall League. Then there was no 2020 regular season and he exhibited a huge velo spike during instructs, sitting in the 94-97 range with backspin and carry. The Mariners made him a Rule 5 pick. He hasn't looked nearly as sharp during 2020, with his fastball only averaging about 93. He may spend the whole year on the M's roster so that they can turn him into an up/down bullpen piece and hope to catch lightning in a bottle down the line. (Fall Instructional League)
