Scouting report
I don't think Rogers will ever have a good breaking ball, but I do think his arm slot will help it play enough against left-handed hitters to be a viable third offering against them. His ability to locate it consistently to his arm side looks better early in 2021 than it has in the past. All the other components -- rare lefty velocity, a plus changeup, plus command, an elite frame suggesting athletic longevity -- are here in a low-slot package that gives hitters fits. He was up to 97 last year, with his velocity climbing a bit in each successive outing, and he was living in the 93-96 range. Once a very risky, old-for-the-class high schooler, Rogers is now a stable 2 WAR starter prospect. (Alternate site, MLB)
