Tredwell was one the top prep pitchers in his class as an underclassman at Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.) High, but he missed his junior year after having Tommy John surgery and didn’t pitch his senior year. He returned to the mound as a UCLA freshman in 2022 and impressed in relief before moving into the Bruins rotation this spring as a draft-eligible sophomore. He went 4-2, 3.57 with 51 strikeouts and 12 walks in 45.1 innings before back and rib injuries ended his season. Tredwell is one of the tallest pitchees in the draft class at 6-foot-8, 230 pounds and is an imposing presence on the mound. His fastball sits 92-93 mph and touches 95 with excellent carry through the top of the zone. He complements his fastball with a 12-to-6 curveball in the upper 70’s that has plus potential, an above-average, low-80s slider with tilt and depth and a developing changeup that has average potential. Tredwell has excellent body control and repeats his delivery despite his long levers. He has plus control of his four-pitch mix and shows a good feel for mixing and matching his arsenal. Tredwell is a second-rounder on talent, but his medical history is concerning with elbow and back injuries already on his ledger. He projects to be a back-end starter if he can stay healthy.

Organization Prospect Rankings

BA Grade: 50/Extreme

Track Record: As a rising Junior at Mater Dei High in Southern California, Tredwell had Tommy John surgery and missed all of the summer showcase circuit and his senior year. He arrived at UCLA in 2022 ready to contribute and took over the closer’s role as a freshman. Tredwell made the jump to the Bruins’ weekend rotation as a draft-eligible sophomore and made nine starts before a back injury cut his season short. Despite his shorter track record and murky injury history, Tredwell intrigued the Astros in the second round in 2023. Tredwell signed for an above-slot bonus of just shy of $1.5 million and did not pitch following the draft.

Scouting Report: A tall, physical pitcher at 6-foot-8, 230 pounds, Tredwell’s size has not equated to durability. he mixes four pitches led by a four-seam fastball with plus ride that sits 92-93 mph and touches 95 at peak. His primary secondary is an upper-70s curveball with heavy two-plane break. Tredwell also throws a slider in the low 80s with tighter gyro shape and a rarely-used changeup. Tredwell’s ability to use the north-to-south plan of attack is his bread and butter. He rides his four-seam high and works his curveball off of it. Historically, Tredwell has shown well above-average command. He walked just 18 batters across 92.1 collegiate innings, including a sterling 6% walk rate as a starter in 2023. His ability to land all of his pitches in the zone with great regularity is his standout skill. Tredwell is a refined strike-thrower with a starter’s frame and pitch mix. It’s just a matter of finding consistent health.

The Future: Tredwell has a future as a no. 4 starter if he can hold up to the rigors of pitching every five days.
