Top Rankings

Organization Prospect Rankings

TRACK RECORD: Goudeau is an outlier—a 27-year-old who has gotten better every year and suddenly pushed himself into prospect status. A junior college draftee of the Royals in 2012, Goudeau chose pro ball over a scholarship to Louisiana-Lafayette. The Royals traded him to the Mariners during the waning stages of 2018 spring training. Change of scenery did little to advance Goudeau's performance, though he finally pitched in Triple-A for the first time. The Rockies signed him as a minor league free agent then watched as he posted a 2.07 ERA in 16 starts at Double-A and starred in the Arizona Fall League.

SCOUTING REPORT: Despite inflated ERAs and otherwise ordinary stat lines, Goudeau's peripheral numbers have gotten better each year. Goudeau has always had an excellent curveball, and throwing it more has led to favorable results. Goudeau complements the curveball with a 90-95 mph fastball and usable changeup. He keeps the changeup down in the zone and uses it against both against lefthanded and righthanded hitters. At 6-foot-6, he creates a strong downward angle on all of his pitches. Possessing a good pitcher's frame, Goudeau has continually improved his body, which has helped his athleticism and command.

THE FUTURE: Goudeau has pitched himself into position to be a major leaguer in 2020 but should begin 2020 at Triple-A Albuquerque.
