Scouting Report

Assets
  • Vogelsong throws a mid-to-low 90s fastball that has terrific natural movement. He then mixes in a raw slider and change-up to keep hitters off balance.
Flaws
  • Not generally regarded as a control pitcher, Vogelsong needs to polish his off-speed pitches and learn to constantly throw them for strikes.
Career Potential
  • Might not have the stuff to pitch regularly in the majors.
