Scouting report

Vanasco had a breakout in 2019 in the Northwest League, striking out 59 hitters in 39 innings. He was 90-92 during 2018 Fall Instructional League, then leapt into the 92-96 range in 2019. He'd touch as high as 98, and the pitch has plus-plus carry. The violent nature of Vanasco's delivery led to a lot of eyeball relief projections, but pitch quality gives him high-leverage bullpen potential if that's the case (and I think it will be). Tommy John surgery in September of 2020 put Vanasco on the shelf for all of 2021, and he won't throw until the fall. A healthy Vanasco belongs close to Hans Crouse on the list.
