Forrest Whitley’s Scouting Report
Whitley already has the ideal size of a major leaguer to go with a quality, sinking fastball and an above average curve/slider. He also has an average changeup that has decent movement and a decent curveball, but he struggles to command those pitches. Whitley mechanics are improving, but they are still a weakness that he will have to improve if he wants to become a big league starter.

- Needs to improve his mechanics
