Organization Prospect Rankings

TRACK RECORD: Franco signed for $50,000 in 2017 and excited the Angels with his raw arm strength, but the injury bug has bitten him. He spent the first two and a half months of 2019 in extended spring training rehabilitating a forearm injury, which led to a major elbow injury after he made eight starts at Rookie-league Orem. Franco had Tommy John surgery following the season and did not pitch at all in 2020

SCOUTING REPORT: Franco added 25-30 pounds in his first two professional seasons. He vaulted up the organization's depth chart because of his command of a fastball that averages 94 mph and touches 98 mph with riding action at the top of the zone, a considerable boost from his previous peak velocity of 94 mph.Franco has struggled with the command of his secondary pitches. He has a mid-80s changeup with significant fade and depth and an upper-70s curveball that lags behind his changeup.

THE FUTURE: Franco should be ready to go in spring training. He could develop into a starter if he gains better control of his offspeed pitches. If not, his fastball should play up even more in shorter relief stints.
TRACK RECORD: Franco, who signed for $50,000 in 2017, spent the first two and a half months of last year rehabilitating a forearm injury in extended spring training. He joined Rookie-level Orem in mid- June and set the tone for a breakout season with four innings of one-run ball with no walks and nine strikeouts in his first start.

SCOUTING REPORT: Franco soared up the depth chart because of his command of a fastball that has touched 98 mph with ride at the top of the zone, a considerable boost from his peak velocity of 94 mph in 2018. Franco has already added 25-30 pounds since he signed, and as he continues to fill out physically, gain strength and further distance himself from his arm injury, he should be able to maintain his velocity for longer stretches. Franco's secondary pitches need some work. He has flashed a swing-and-miss, mid- 80s changeup with significant fade and depth, while his upper-70s curveball lags behind his changeup at this point. His delivery is smooth and repeatable.

THE FUTURE: Franco will head to low Class A Burlington in 2020. He may have another velocity jump in him.
