They turn players into better players hitting and pitching . They revamped Outmans whole swing and pretty much do the same to get more velo. We'd need more than just their coaches including scouts and

Ht: 6'3" | Wt: 215 | B-T: R-R

Age: 23

BA Grade/Risk: 50/High

Track Record: Nastrini arrived at UCLA as a top recruit out of San Diego’s Cathedral Catholic High and grew into premium stuff as he gained strength and maturity. He entered his junior year with the Bruins considered a potential first-rounder, but he suffered a horrendous case of the yips and was dropped from the rotation by April. The Dodgers decided to take a shot on Nastrini’s raw stuff and drafted him in the fourth round in 2021, signing him for $497,500. He rediscovered his control and composure under the Dodgers’ instruction and flew up to Double-A in his first full season in 2022. He led the Dodgers’ system with 169 strikeouts and limited opponents to a .178 average, third-lowest in the minor leagues.

Scouting Report: Nastrini is a physical, 6-foot-3 righthander with power stuff. His fastball sits 94-95 mph and touches 98 with above-average ride and extension that helps it play as a borderline plus-plus pitch, especially at the top of the strike zone. His short, vertical slider in the mid 80s flashes above-average with late drop below barrels, and his fading mid-80s changeup is an average pitch that is more consistent than his slider. He added an 80-83 mph power curveball late in the year that is fringy now but has a chance to improve with more development. Nastrini has a polished, repeatable delivery, but he tends to be too methodical in his tempo and mechanics, leading to below-average control. He is best when he works quickly and lets his natural athleticism take over on the mound.

The Future: Nastrini’s loud stuff and improved control give him a chance to be a No. 4 starter if he can maintain his strides. He will open 2023 at Double-A and has an outside chance to reach the majors during the season.

Scouting Grades: Fastball: 65. Curveball: 45. Slider: 55. Changeup: 50. Control: 40
