Top Rankings

Organization Prospect Rankings

BA Grade/Risk: 45/High

Track Record: Devers signed with the Cubs for just $30,000 and spent three unremarkable seasons in the complex leagues before breaking out in 2022. He added 3 mph to his fastball and breezed through Low-A and High-A, finishing second in the minor leagues with a 1.91 ERA and tied for third with 13 wins. He capped the year by allowing one run or fewer in each of his final 12 starts.

Scouting Report: Devers is a skinny righthander with extreme deception and an advanced feel for pitching. He frequently alters the tempo and mechanics of his delivery, similar to Johnny Cueto, and will quick-pitch opponents to catch them unprepared. Batters struggle to time him up and he rarely allows hard contact. Devers' stuff is unremarkable in a vacuum, but everything plays up with his deception and above-average control. He sets hitters up with his 90-94 mph fastball and finishes them with a plus, low-80s changeup he sells well with his arm speed. His slurvy breaking ball with 11-to-5 shape is a fringy third offering he can use to steal a strike. Devers only commands the ball to his glove side, but he throws strikes and limits mistakes. He is durable and consistent.

The Future: Devers has a chance to be a No. 5 starter with improvements to his command and velocity. He'll head to Double-A in 2022.

Scouting Grades: Fastball: 40. Curveball: 45. Changeup: 60. Control: 55
