A 6-foot-4, 220-pound righthander, Archer missed the 2019 season due to an elbow injury—though he didn’t undergo Tommy John surgery—and got back on the mound for just 10.2 innings this spring before the 2020 season ended. A fastball/changeup pitcher, Archer works with a fastball in the 91-93 mph range predominantly, while his changeup is an above-average or plus pitch. He has worked on developing a breaking ball to give him a third quality offering, and scouts have gone anywhere from an average to below-average grade on the pitch. Archer is a solid strike thrower who comes right after hitters and has a good frame, but he doesn’t have the loudest pure stuff and his injury history could complicate his draft stock.
