TRACK RECORD: Rosso's breakout 2018 season at the Class A levels was followed by an encouraging performance at Double-A in 2019, though he struggled after a promotion to Triple-A. The Phillies included Rosso on their Opening Day roster and he spent the year bouncing back and forth between the majors and the alternate training site, ultimately going 0-1, 6.52 in seven appearances.
SCOUTING REPORT: Rosso is a burly righthander whose stuff is improving, but his control still needs work. His fastball sits 93-94 mph with above-average spin, touching 97, and has some running action to both sides of the plate. His slurvy slider sits 84-85 mph with an above-average spin rate but needs to be tightened. His changeup is just a show-me pitch. The Phillies have pushed Rosso to stretch out his delivery more and want to see him attack hitters in the strike zone. His control is fringe-average and he walked eight batters in 9.2 innings in his major league debut.
THE FUTURE: Rosso profiles as a middle reliever in the majors. The Phillies hold out some hope he can be a back-end starter if he improves his changeup.
