Scouting Report

2024

Cantillo won Gatorade's Hawaii high school player of the year honors in 2017 but didn't wow scouts with a mid-80s fastball. He impressed the Padres enough in a pre-Draft workout to land fifth-round money ($302,500) as a 16th-rounder, then caught the Guardians' eye when he dominated Single-A in 2019 and went to Cleveland in the nine-player Mike Clevinger trade in August 2020. Oblique and shoulder issues limited him during his first two seasons in his new organization, but he stayed healthy and struck out a system-best 146 in 119 1/3 innings between Double-A and Triple-A last year.

After his fastball sat around 90 for the first five years in pro ball, Cantillo has added velocity and now has a 92-95 mph heater that reaches 98 with carry when he commands it up in the zone. It plays well off his plus Vulcan changeup that ranges from 79-82 mph before diving at the plate. He also can miss bats with a tight 82-85 mph slider that has improved the last two seasons and is much more effective than his soft 75-78 curveball.

More of a strike-throwing finesse pitcher while with the Padres, Cantillo now has enhanced stuff but can struggle to find the zone. His best weapon, his changeup, gets many more chases than called strikes and may not be as effective against more disciplined hitters in the Majors. He uses his 6-foot-4 frame to create extension and deception, and he should contribute in Cleveland this year as a back-of-the-rotation starter or multi-inning reliever.

2023

Gatorade's Hawaii Player of the Year in 2017, Cantillo didn't overwhelm scouts with a mid-80s fastball but impressed the Padres in a workout and landed fifth-round money ($302,500) as a 16th-round pick. He spent two years in Rookie ball before dominating Single-A in 2019, then went to Cleveland as part of the nine-player Mike Clevinger trade in August 2020. He has pitched just 73 2/3 innings during the past three years because of the pandemic shutdown (2020), an oblique injury (2021) and shoulder issues (2022), though he did post a 1.93 ERA with 87 strikeouts in 60 2/3 Double-A innings last summer.

After throwing an 87-92 mph fastball for much of his pro career, Cantillo sat at 91-93 last year and now deals at 92-95 and tops out at 98. His heater plays better than its velocity with good carry when he locates it up in the zone, and it helps that hitters have to be wary of his plus Vulcan changeup that parks around 80 mph and tumbles at the plate. He hasn't shown great feel for spin and favors his short low-80s slider over his soft mid-70s curveball.

Added to the 40-man roster in November, Cantillo uses his 6-foot-4 frame to create good extension in his deceptive delivery, so his pitches get on hitters quicker than expected. Besides staying healthy, he'll need to improve his control to make it as a back-of-the-rotation starter. He averaged 2.9 walks per nine innings in the Padres system, but that rate has jumped to 4.8 with the Guardians, and his stuff doesn't leave him with much margin for error.

2022

Scouting grades: Fastball: 50 | Curveball: 45 | Changeup: 60 | Control: 45 | Overall: 45

Gatorade's Hawaii player of the year in 2017, Cantillo didn't wow scouts with his mid-80s fastball that spring but impressed the Padres in a workout and earned fifth-round money ($302,500) as a 16th-rounder. He spent most of his first two years in Rookie ball before dominating in Single-A and advancing to High-A at age 19 in 2019, then went to the Guardians as part of the nine-player Mike Clevinger trade in August 2020. He didn't see any game action that year because of the pandemic and missed most of last season with an oblique injury, but he has come back strong in Double-A in 2022.

Cantillo is throwing a bit harder this year, working at 91-93 mph with his fastball after operating at 87-92 in the past, and he'll occasionally reach 95. His fastball plays better than its velocity because it has good carry and hitters have to be on the lookout for his best pitch, a plus Vulcan changeup that sits around 80 mph and tumbles at the plate. His curveball stands out more for its shape than its power.

The 6-foot-4 Cantillo gets good extension in his deceptive delivery, allowing his pitches to get on hitters quicker than then anticipate. After filling the zone while in the lower levels of the Padres system, he hasn't thrown as many strikes since switching organizations. He doesn't have much margin for error, so he'll need to do a better job of controlling and commanding his arsenal to reach his ceiling as a back-of-the-rotation starter.

2021

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

Gatorade's Hawaii player of the year in 2017, Cantillo didn't wow scouts with his mid-80s fastball that spring but showed enough in a workout for the Padres to earn fifth-round money ($302,500) as a 16th-round pick. He spent most of his first two years in Rookie ball before dominating low Class A and earning a promotion to high Class A at age 19 in 2019. Sent to the Indians in the nine-player Mike Clevinger trade last August, he saw 2020 action at both San Diego and Cleveland's alternate sites and the latter's instructional league program.

Cantillo still can't blow the ball by hitters but he compensates with a nifty Vulcan changeup in the upper 70s that tumbles at the plate. It can be a well-above-average pitch at times, in particular because he commands it so well, and it helps a fastball that sits at 87-92 mph and tops out at 94 play better than its velocity. His curveball serves as his third pitch, featuring good shape but not much power in the low 70s.

Cantillo will be 21 all season but already carries 220 pounds on his 6-foot-4 frame and doesn't have much projection remaining. He gets good extension out of a deceptive delivery that allows his pitches to get on hitters quicker than they expect. He keeps his quirky mechanics in sync and pounds the strike zone, enhancing his chances of becoming a back-of-the-rotation starter.

2020

Scouting grades: Fastball: 50 | Curveball: 50 | Changeup: 55 | Control: 55 | Overall: 50

One of the youngest players in the 2017 Draft, Cantillo signed wtih the Padres for fifth-round money ($302,500) in the 16th round out of a Hawaiian high school. He excelled in his 2019 full-season debut, logging a 2.26 ERA, .179 opponent average and 144/34 K/BB ratio in 111 2/3 innings between two Class A stops. He joined the Indians this August as part of the nine-player Mike Clevinger trade.

Cantillo can't overpower hitters but he has advanced pitchability for a young left-hander. His best offering is a solid sinking changeup that can be an well above-average pitch at its best. He sets it up with an 87-92 mph fastball that tops out at 94 and also mixes in a downer curveball.

While he's young, Cantillo already carries 220 pounds on his 6-foot-4 frame so he may not have much more projection remaining or velocity to gain. Though he has a quirky delivery, he repeats it well and provides deception without compromising his ability to throw strikes. He stands out more with his floor than his ceiling and has a good chance of becoming a back-of-the-rotation starter.

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.
