Scouting grades: Fastball: 60 | Slider: 50 | Changeup: 40 | Control: 45 | Overall: 45

The standard-bearer for Colorado high school pitchers who signed and went on to bigger and better things is Hall of Famer Roy Halladay, a first-round pick back in 1995. Since then, only four prep arms from the Centennial State have been drafted in the top three rounds, though pitchers like Kevin Gausman and Marco Gonzales went on to college and were eventual first-round picks. After solid summer showcase circuit performances that culminated in six shutout innings and three saves for Team USA in international competition, Gregory-Alford hopes to be the first since 2014.

Gregory-Alford’s size and arm strength stand out more than anything else. The 6-foot-5 right-hander is all about power with what’s pretty much been a two-pitch mix to date. He has a quick arm that delivers fastballs that he can dial up to 97 mph, not something often seen from Colorado high schoolers. It’s a fairly straight heater, and it can get on hitters in a hurry because of the way he uses his size and extension, though it gets hit more than it should and he doesn’t consistently command it. He combines it with a hard slider that can be nasty at times and miss bats. He’ll occasionally warm up with a changeup, but hasn’t used it games. 

For a guy his size, Gregory-Alford’s delivery is fairly clean, but he’s struggled to be a consistent strike-thrower. Scouts were heading to Colorado to check on the Virginia recruits progress with mixed reports on his ability to refine his control, add a third pitch and show he can go deeper into starts to allay concerns about reliever risk.

The standard-bearer for Colorado high school pitchers who signed and went on to bigger and better things is Hall of Famer Roy Halladay, a first-round pick back in 1995. Since then, only four prep arms from the Centennial State have been drafted in the top three rounds, though pitchers like Kevin Gausman and Marco Gonzales went on to college and were eventual first-round picks. After solid summer showcase circuit performances that culminated in six shutout innings and three saves for Team USA in international competition, then an eye-opening stint in which he threw 100 mph at the Draft Combine, Gregory-Alford didn’t join the others in the early rounds, but he did get second-round money from the Angels ($1.96 million) in Round 11.

Gregory-Alford’s size and arm strength stand out more than anything else. The 6-foot-5 right-hander is all about power with what’s pretty much been a two-pitch mix to date. He has a quick arm that delivers fastballs he can dial up to north of 97 mph, not something often seen from Colorado high schoolers. It’s a fairly straight heater, and it can get on hitters in a hurry because of the way he uses his size and extension, though it gets hit more than it should and he doesn’t consistently command it. He combines it with a hard slider that can be nasty at times and miss bats. He’ll occasionally warm up with a changeup, but hasn’t used it in games. 

For a guy his size, Gregory-Alford’s delivery is fairly clean, but he’s struggled to be a consistent strike-thrower. The upside potential is there, but it might take some time for him to refine his control and add a third pitch if he wants to reach his ceiling as a big league starter.
