Scouting report

Because the org felt comfortable that he'd hit the necessary training checkpoints on his own, Ashcraft was neither at the alt site nor in Instructional League and instead trained in Nashville throughout 2020. As such, his report remains the same. Once an out-of-control prep prospect up to 98 mph, Ashcraft went to Mississippi State, had a pair of hip surgeries, then transferred to UAB. He had a pedestrian 2019 season with the Blazers but lo, he has TrackMan-friendly spin rates on his fastball and breaker. His fastball has natural cut at times, but Driveline Baseball has had success getting pitchers like this to pronate better on release and create carry instead, which seems fair to project will happen with Ashcraft now that Driveline's founder is the team's pitching coordinator. He could have a breakout 2021 (if he gets the opportunity) and profiles in a power relief role. (At-home dev)
