Scouting grades: Fastball: 45 | Slider: 50 | Changeup: 70 | Control: 50 | Overall: 40
Signed out of Mexico as a 21-year-old in April 2023, Gastelum jumped stateside as a reliever and enjoyed a breakout season in '24 in a 48-inning stint with Single-A Palm Beach. His 29.1 K-BB% led the Florida State League among 112 pitchers with at least 40 frames, while his 34.5 percent strikeout rate ranked second and his 2.47 FIP third. Gastelum fanned three of his four batters faced (including the final one) in Palm Beach's FSL championship clincher on Sept. 18, and he's continued his momentum in the Mexican Winter League.
The 6-foot-2 right-hander proved so dominant because of his special changeup. The 81-84 mph cambio averaged -2.1 inches of induced vertical break and 15.4 inches of armside movement, giving it two planes with which to menace hitters. Gastelum threw 317 changeups tracked by Statcast; 161 of them (50.8 percent) ended up as called strikes or whiffs. No one else in the FSL had a CSW rate higher than 41.1 percent (min. 50 changeups), and only one pitcher in the Majors had one higher than 41 percent (Angel Chivilli) over the same minimum. Gastelum threw his change 47.9 percent of the time because it was so effective.
The other side of the coin: the righty's fastballs (four-seam, sinker) are much less remarkable as 91-93 mph offerings with ordinary movement, and his mid-80s slider is the closest pitch to flashing above-average. Devin Williams comps would be misguided because at least the Brewers reliever has more fastball velo and usage, but that type of change-heavy profile out of the bullpen gives the righty a profile on which to dream. The Cards prospect will be 23 for the majority of the 2025 season, so it'll be time for St. Louis to see just how quickly he can ride that changeup toward The Show.
