Scouting Report

2025

Young signed with the Orioles as an undrafted free agent in 2020 following stints at the junior college level, Howard College (Texas) and Louisiana-Lafayette, where he excelled both in the rotation and out of the ‘pen. He enjoyed a solid pro debut but made only three starts in 2022 before being sidelined by elbow surgery for more than a year. Young returned in July 2023 and moved quickly from Double-A to Triple-A, where he spent most of '24 before the Orioles added him to their 40-man roster prior to the Rule 5 Draft in November.

Young is a 6-foot-6 right-hander whose performance exceeds the sum of its parts. His repertoire might not feature a truly above-average offering, but it’s a legitimate four-pitch mix that Young augments with excellent command, and he throws enough strikes to be effective without earth-shattering stuff. His fastball is an effective pitch that lives 93-95 mph but plays up because he throws everything out of the same window, and he keeps hitters off balance with a slider, cutter and changeup that can all be average offerings. The fading changeup is particularly important for Young, as it helps neutralize left-handed hitters.

Young doesn’t miss a ton of bats, and his lack of a true out pitch probably limits his ceiling. But the pitch mix and ability to command his entire arsenal give him a solid floor as a dependable strike-thrower who figures to factor into Baltimore’s big league mix in 2025, perhaps in a swingman role.

2024

After two years at the junior college level with Howard College in Texas, Young moved on to Louisiana-Lafayette. He both started and relieved for the Ragin’ Cajuns in 2019 and was off to a very good start in his senior season in 2020 before the pandemic shut things down. He signed with the Orioles as a non-drafted free agent following that truncated Draft and had a solid first full season across two levels of A ball during his pro debut in 2021. He made three starts in Double-A in 2022 before elbow trouble that required surgery shelved him and he didn’t return until July 2023. With a clean bill of health this season, Young moved quickly from Double-A to Triple-A and is knocking on the big league door.

A 6-foot-6 right-hander, Young is more about a complete repertoire -- with the chance to have a legitimate four-pitch mix -- than he is about wow stuff. His fastball in 2024 sat around 92-93 mph, topping out at 96, an effective pitch with some armside run. His best secondary offering is his above-average mid-70s curve, thrown with high spin and good depth, and he also has a firmer, low-80s slider. He kills spin with his changeup, a fading offspeed offering that is a good option for left-handed hitters.

After throwing a ton of strikes in Double-A in 2024, Young’s walk rate ticked up again with his move to Triple-A. He looks like he should be a dependable enough strike-thrower to stick in a rotation. While his ceiling is somewhat limited because of that lack of a true out pitch, he could latch on as a No. 5 starter type if he continues to throw well.

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.
