Scouting report

Bolton had a strong start to his 2018 season before he was shut down in July with a shoulder issue and didn't pitch for the rest of the summer. While a groin injury interrupted an otherwise healthy 2019, his stuff was wholly intact when he pitched, and his velocity was actually up a tick from the year before. He touched 97. He sat 86-90 as a rising high school senior but has since altered the timing of his arm swing for the better, and the resulting velo is fairly new, which makes Bolton's cogent strike-throwing more impressive. He will also show you a plus slider and average changeup. Bolton's stuff was down a tick at the alt site where he was maxing out at 95, often sitting just 91-92, and his arm action remains concerningly long. Because his delivery is somewhat grotesque and Bolton has had a shoulder problem, there's apprehension about his health, but his ability to execute his sweeping breaking ball and tumbling changeup give him a No. 4/5 starter shot, and probably soon.
