Organization Prospect Rankings
TRACK RECORD: Fletcher pitched four years at the University of Houston, mostly in a bullpen role. He signed with the Nationals after being drafted in the 14th round in 2018 and jumped three levels in the first part of the 2019 season before being included in a trade to Seattle as one of three prospects acquired for Roenis Elias and Hunter Strickland. He finished 2019 with an assignment to the Arizona Fall League.
SCOUTING REPORT: Fletcher is a reliever all the way, with the potential to be a good one because of the velocity from the left side. He gets sink and run on his 91-96 mph fastball, delivered from a funky, deceptive delivery with a high front side. His fringy slider plays up because its sweep makes it tough for lefthanded batters and he gets it to the back foot of righthanded hitters. He rounds out his repertoire with an average changeup.
THE FUTURE: While he doesn't have a high ceiling, Fletcher will likely get big league time as an extra bullpen arm. He's likely to start 2020 back at Double-A Arkansas with a promotion to Tacoma to follow.
