Riley Ferrell 25 yr old CLOSER #17 Prospect in Astros System
MLB.com Scouting Report
Scouting grades: Fastball: 65 | Slider: 60 | Control: 45 | Overall: 45
Ferrell posted a 1.72 ERA and a school-record 32 saves in three years at Texas Christian before signing for an above-slot $1 million as a third-rounder in 2015. He figured to be one of the first players from that Draft to reach the Majors before that ETA changed when he had surgery to remove an aneurysm from his throwing shoulder in May 2016. He missed the rest of that season but recaptured his power stuff in Double-A last year.
With a pair of pitches that grade as well above average at their best, Ferrell could become a closer if he can find some more consistency. His fastball usually ranges from 93-98 mph with late life and his mid-80s slider has two-plane break and can be more unhittable at times. The Astros may have him work on a power curveball to give hitters a different look.
Because he has a high-tempo delivery and lapses into bouts of overthrowing, Ferrell's control and command never have been as sharp as his stuff. His slider can have vicious bite that makes it especially hard to tame, and there's some question as to whether big leaguers will chase it out of the strike zone. He threw more strikes in 2017 than he had in the past, but he also was more hittable and will need to find a happy medium.
