Scouting report

There's no change to Contreras' report since he was not at the Yankees' alt site, nor did they have instructs, before he was traded to Pittsburgh for Taillon: Not only did Contreras hold his stuff over a longer 2019 season (he threw more than twice as many affiliated innings in '19 as he did in '18), but his velo was actually up a tick, and his walk rate came down, too. We're not talking about premium arm strength, but Contreras should end up with three quality offerings (intentionally or not, he can vary the shape of his breaking ball enough that he functionally has four) and plenty of strike-throwing ability to start. Barring continued development of his changeup, which already looks better than I projected a year ago, he won't have a plus pitch and therefore fits in the No. 4/5 starter area rather than as a plus, mid-rotation type.
