Scouting Report

Draft

Video scouting report »

Scouting grades: Fastball: 55 | Slider: 50 | Changeup: 40 | Control: 45 | Overall: 40

Bagwell hails from a Collinsville (Ill.) HS program that has sent four players to the big leagues, including Tanner Houck, who graduated a decade ago. Bagwell created a lot of interest when he displayed a 96-97 mph fastball in the first inning of his first start as a senior, though he didn't maintain that velocity throughout the spring. It's unclear whether he'll go early enough in the Draft to lure him away from a Missouri commitment.

Bagwell spent most of the spring operating at 89-94 mph with his fastball, which features good carry when he works up in the zone. He lacks consistency with his secondary pitches, though he can flash a solid 78-82 mph sweeping slider at times. His upper-80s changeup has some promising fade but it's too firm and he doesn't trust it.

At 6-foot-4 and 230 pounds, Bagwell doesn't have a lot of projection remaining. There's some effort to his delivery and he battles his control at times while working exclusively out of the stretch, so he comes with reliever risk. But he also comes with more physicality and peak velocity than most high schoolers, giving him intriguing upside.

Bagwell created a lot of interest when he displayed a 96-97 mph fastball in the first inning of his first start as a senior, though he didn't maintain that velocity throughout the spring. He had a strong Missouri commitment to contend with, but the Braves liked his upside enough to go way over slot in the sixth round to sign him for $822,500.
