Scouting Report

draft

Video scouting report »

Scouting grades: Fastball: 60 | Slider: 55 | Changeup: 50 | Control: 50 | Overall: 50

It’s been a little while since Gonzaga University has produced any early-round Draft talent, with Wyatt Mills a third-rounder in 2017 and lefty Marco Gonzales a first-round selection back in 2013. Hughes, who like Gonzales, has been a two-way player for the Zags, threw well in the weekend rotation in 2021 before pitching for USA Baseball over the summer, and has taken a nice step forward as Gonzaga’s Friday night starter, while focusing only on pitching, this spring.

Hughes has an exciting combination of size, repertoire and feel for pitching. The 6-foot-4 right-hander has electric stuff, starting with a fastball that’s regularly in the 94-97 mph range with ease, leading some scouts to wonder if he might touch triple digits someday. His slider can be a wipeout pitch, up to 89-90 mph, and he even shows very good feel for his changeup.

The big right-hander can fill up the strike zone with all three pitches, throwing them to both sides of the plate and commanding his breaking stuff well. He gets high grades for his makeup, a tremendous student-athlete who is on pace to graduate in three years. Some evaluators see him as the best arm on the West Coast, one who is shooting up Draft boards with his strong spring in Washington.

2026

A decision to give up hitting and focus on pitching only at Gonzaga catapulted Hughes into first-round conversations in 2022, and he ended up landing with the Rockies at No. 10 overall. When he reached Double-A in his first full season, it was looking like a wise pick, but then he got shut down in July that year and had Tommy John surgery. He made it back to shake off the rust in the Arizona Fall League and pitched his way to Triple-A in 2025. The Rockies saw enough to add him to the 40-man roster during the offseason.

While some of Hughes’ surface results were decent in 2025, his stuff has yet to come all the way back post-surgery. His rehab went very well, with no setbacks, but issues started popping up once he was back. He struggled to stay in the same slot, then was shut down with a shoulder issue because of how he was over-compensating. He still gets good sink on his two-seamer to get groundball outs, but his fastball only averaged around 91-92 mph last year, down a few ticks. He does have solid secondary stuff, with a mid-80s slider and a changeup that has a chance to be a solid offspeed offering. His slower, upper-70s curve did miss bats last year, though his strikeout rate tumbled overall.

Hughes really struggled with the move to Albuquerque last year and overall, his stuff just wasn’t quite as crisp as it had been pre-surgery. This is a big year for him as the gloves come off a bit and he gets a chance to show if things can bounce back further removed from TJ. There’s still a starter package in here if it clicks, but there is some thought to his sinker-slider combination working in a multi-inning relief role.

2025

After splitting his focus as a two-way player for Gonzaga in his first two seasons of college ball, Hughes took a big step forward when he put the bat down for good and focused on pitching only as the Zags’ Friday night starter in 2022. That led to him beating Marco Gonzales as the highest pick in school history, going No. 10 overall to the Rockies. Hughes reached Double-A in his first full season in 2023, but got shut down in July and needed Tommy John surgery. He returned in time to make six starts in the Arizona Fall League in 2024.

Hughes was able to use his 17 1/3 innings in the AFL to shake some of the rust off and the good news is that his stuff looked pretty much back to where it was pre-injury. His fastball averaged 93 mph and touched 96, thrown with good sink to frequently get ground-ball contact. His cutter-like slider was regularly in the mid 80s, a hard breaker that flashed plus in the past, and he has some feel to spin a slower 80-82 mph curve, though it’s behind the harder breaking ball. HIs upper-80s changeup is starting to improve as well.

Throw out Hughes’ surface numbers in the AFL given they came from his first post-surgery innings. He generally was around the zone previously, though his up-tempo delivery could get out of sync and cause timing issues, which in turn would lead to control problems. His ceiling might be somewhat limited, but once he really puts TJ behind him, he could be a big league back-end starter soon.

2024

Hughes spent two years in Gonzaga’s rotation and took a big step forward as their Friday night guy in 2022, allowing him to become the Zags’ first first-round pick since the Cardinals took Marco Gonzales No. 19 overall in 2013. Hughes became the highest pick in school history when the Rockies took him tenth overall in the 2022 Draft, thinking there might be some upside from a guy who had been a two-way player for his first two college seasons. He did touch Double-A in his first full year of pro ball but needed Tommy John surgery in July.

When he’s healthy, Hughes brings an intriguing combination of size and stuff -- with feel for it -- to the mound. Even right before the elbow injury in Double-A last year, he was up to 97 mph with his fastball, though he sat at around 93. His short and hard mid-80s slider, that has cutter-like action to it, flashes plus and he’s shown feel to spin an effective upper-70s curve as well. He has an 87-88 mph changeup as well, but it’s clearly a fourth pitch.

Hughes uses an up-tempo delivery and goes right after hitters. He can sometimes run into timing issues and there’s unintentional cut on his fastball occasionally, and both can impact his command, though he’s generally around the strike zone. All of that is on hold, of course, with Hughes not expected to do much competitively until 2025.

2023

Scouting grades: Fastball: 60 | Slider: 55 | Changeup: 50 | Control: 50 | Overall: 45

It may go counter to what people think, but the Rockies have had some success when they’ve taken a college pitcher with their first pick, with hurlers such as Tyler Anderson, Jon Gray and Kyle Freeland having some big league success. The Rockies had gone the college arm route just once since Freeland was taken in 2014, with Ryan Rolison in 2018, until they selected Hughes No. 10 overall in 2022. The Gonzaga standout signed for an under-slot $4 million and pitched his way to Double-A in his first full season before getting shut down in early July with an elbow injury that required Tommy John surgery.

A former two-way player, Hughes only started pitching full-time in 2022, so there could be some serious growth potential once he's healthy. He already has the makings of a very good three-pitch mix coming from a solid starting pitcher’s frame. His fastball touches the upper 90s with some riding life to it, with more velocity to come. His slider is short and hard with cutter action to it, a pitch that flashes plus and misses bats. His changeup is probably his worst pitch, mostly because he didn’t throw it much in college, but there’s feel for it.

Hughes has already impressed the Rockies with his mound presence, work ethic and intelligence -- he was a biology major who was on pace to graduate in three years. He goes right after hitters, and there’s confidence he’ll continue to be a solid strike-thrower the more time he has focusing on the craft, though first he'll focus on rehabbing post-surgery. He’s the type of college arm who could move pretty quickly through the system.

2022

Scouting grades: Fastball: 60 | Slider: 55 | Changeup: 50 | Control: 50 | Overall: 50

It had been a little while since Gonzaga University had produced any early-round Draft talent, with Wyatt Mills a third-rounder in 2017 and lefty Marco Gonzales a first-round selection back in 2013. Hughes, who like Gonzales, had been a two-way player for the Zags, threw well in the weekend rotation in 2021 before pitching for USA Baseball over the summer, then took a nice step forward as Gonzaga’s Friday night starter while focusing only on pitching this past spring. Although he tired a bit at the end of the season, he still showed enough for the Rockies to take him No. 10 overall and sign him for a below-slot $4 million bonus.

The big right-hander can fill up the strike zone with all three pitches, throwing them to both sides of the plate and commanding his breaking stuff well. He gets high grades for his makeup; he was a tremendous student-athlete who was on pace to graduate in three years, with the Rockies hoping he can graduate to the big leagues at least as quickly.

Pitch Movement

How this works: This section shows two different ways to evaluate pitch movement. On the left, “Total Movement” shows the real-world movement of a pitch, including the forces of gravity, which affects every pitch thrown. Since gravity requires time, and slower pitches aren't 'better' just because they have more time to move, a pitch's movement is compared to other pitches of the same pitch type, within +/- 2 MPH and +/- 0.5 feet of extension/release. On the right, Induced Movement (or IVB) is reported without gravity, and attempts to isolate movement created by the pitcher's ability to spin and manipulate the ball.
