Scouting report

Francis has had statistical success through the upper minors by relying on plus command of three fringe pitches. He added a slider for this year and now has four distinct offerings, of which the slider has quickly become the best. It's also hard, which is important because Francis' curveball is a low-70s rainbow, averaging about 73 mph, while the slider has been up to 87 and sits a bit below that. He has a power pitcher's style with soft stuff, but Francis feel to pitch is excellent and I think he can stick toward the back of a rotation.
